Derrick uses only the highest quality materials in the manufacturing of the Flo-Line® Cleaner 500 – the most powerful and versatile shale shaker in the world today. The single-side tensioning system shortens screen panel replacement time to less than one minute per panel and can be configured for operation from either the left or right side.

The FLC 500 is powered by two Super G²™ vibrating motors which provide an unprecedented continuous linear vibratory force of over 7.0 G’s. This increase in G force at the screen surface has been found to dramatically improve the conveyance rate of a shale shaker, enabling maximum cuttings removal efficiency.

The FLC 513 has processed in excess of 560 GPM of a 17.8 PPG fluid with 175 mesh screens. The available screening area per API RP 13 E for the FLC 513 is 24.9 square foot with the Pyramid™ screen and 35.7 square foot with the Pyramid Plus screen. Respectively, the FLC 514 is capable of processing in excess of 900 GPM of a 9.1 PPG fluid with 210 mesh screens. The available screening area per API RP 13 E for the FLC 514 is 33.2 square foot with the Pyramid screen and 47.6 square foot with the Pyramid Plus screen.

Two Derrick Super G²™ vibrating motors generate the high G, linear motion effect on the FLC 500 series shakers. Super G² motors feature an oil bath bearing design that eliminates the maintenance requirements of the motor. The FLC 500 shaker is available in a 3 panel (FLC 513, operating at 7.0 G's) or 4 panel (FLC 514, operating at 7.3 G's) design.

Derrick's local/remote actuated AWD enables one person to quickly and easily raise or lower the screen basket from -1° to +7° on the FLC 514 and from -1° to +5° on the FLC 513. As drilling rates and formation or mud properties change, the angle of the screen deck can be adjusted to achieve the proper solids conveyance and fluid end point. Increased capacity, longer screen life, and optimal solids removal efficiency are the results.

Because of its modular design, both the FLC 513 and FLC 514 units can be configured to accommodate up to three 10" desander cones and up to twenty 4" desilter cones, allowing the unit to be used as a mud cleaner. Additionally, the Flo-Line Primer - a conveyor designed to remove large drilled solids and hydrated clay (gumbo) prior to processing by fine screens - can be mounted over the unit, which allows the FLC 500 to operate as an integrated Cascade machine.

The FLC 500 VE™ (Vapor Extraction) features an innovative single-side tensioning system coupled with a revolutionary local or remote actuated AWD (Adjustable While Drilling) mechanism and integrated hood to protect personnel from unpleasant/hazardous vapors. The single-side tensioning system shortens screen panel replacement time to less than one minute per panel and can be configured for operation from either the left or right side. A typical screen panel change requires a one-half turn of two Quick-Lok nut assembilies to relax the state-of-the-art tensioning fingers. This system provides reliable and consistent panel tensioning throughout the life of the machine.

Powered by two of Derrick's patented Super G²™ motors, this linear motion shaker offers superior performance. Super G² motors with UL (Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D) or DEMKO/ATEX (Zone 1 EExd IIB T3) certifications are available and feature an oil bath bearing design that significantly reduces maintenance requirements. In addition, Super G² motors enable the shaker to operate at lower decibels than traditional shakers: 73 dBA on the FLC 513 VE.
