Introduction
The role of a separator
The Mini Cobra 3-Panel separator is a fine screen shaker with a motor/starter. The separator is
almost always located at the flow line unless it is preceded by a “scalping” or gumbo separator.
The separator removes a large percentage of drill cuttings before the mud is circulated through the
surface mud system, leading to improved performance of downstream solids control equipment.
The separator is designed to do two primary jobs: separate drilled solids from the mud; transport
the solids rapidly and efficiently off the screens.

Document number M18641
Revision 4 2: Product Information
Page 10 of 58
Liquid Pool Screened fluids
The separator has a manually operated basket angle adjustment system. The angle adjustment
system allows the basket to be tilted upward by as much as 5° and downward by as much as 2°.
During unusually heavy flow conditions the basket can be pivoted uphill to increase the depth of
the pool. This deeper pool allows the shaker to handle the unusual flow conditions without a loss of
whole mud off the end of the shaker.
Sticky clays and gumbo often do not convey uphill and may not convey horizontally with a linear
motion shaker. When sticky clays or gumbo are encountered, the basket can be tilted downward to
make sure the material conveys. The operator can adjust the basket angle while the unit is running
by using the adjustment screw located on each side of the basket.

Vibrator system
The vibrator system includes the two canister type vibrator motors, a motor mounting motion tube,
and a plate. Each vibrator motor contains eccentric weights that generate a circular shaking force
when rotated. During operation the two motors rotate in opposite directions, creating a net linear
shaking force on the basket. This shaking force is directed through the center of mass of the
basket, resulting in equal motion along the entire length of screening surface. The motion conveys
the solids along the screen, even uphill, and off the discharge end of the shaker. The basket
motion has been carefully designed to give the unit optimum performance over a wide range of
drilling conditions.
The angle of the basket’s vibratory motion relative to a line perpendicular to the screen surface is
called the angle of attack (conveyance angle). The angle of the basket’s motion relative to a line
parallel to the screen surface is called the conductance angle. The separator uses a 40°
conveyance angle and a 50° conductance angle. See Figure 2-3 for a diagram of these angles.

Installation
Inspection
Prior to setting up and operating a new separator, inspect the goods as received from the shipping
company. A claim for damage or loss should be reported immediately to the carrier and to NOV
Brandt. Six screen wedges and 18 screen crown rubbers ship in a separate box located in the
back tank of the unit. Also, check the bill of lading for any separately shipped items, including
manuals and CDs.
Once it is confirmed the order has been received complete in undamaged condition, installation of
the separator may begin.
The separator can be lifted with a forklift or via the lifting eyes on each corner of
the unit. When using the lifting eyes, use shackles and a spreader bar to prevent
damage to the unit.
Unit preparation
Read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or damage to the unit.
1. Remove the four shipping bolts and spacers (see Figure 3-1) and store in a safe place for
reuse.
2. Check all nuts, bolts, and fasteners on shaker.
3. Connect power (see Figure 3-2).
4. Install crown rubbers.
5. Install screens (see Figure 3-3).

Electrical connections
Carefully proceed through this list to assure proper and safe operation of the unit(s). As with any
electrical equipment, all electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician (see Figure
3-2).
1. Determine the rig voltage supplied to the unit. Ensure that the motor operating voltage
matches.
2. Lockout/tagout power from the power supply cable that will be connected to the unit.
3. Install power supply cable to motor starter. See Figure 3-2 for the starter wiring diagram.
When connecting the power leads to the top of the contactor in the starter enclosure, the
three incoming power leads are connected to the three left hand connections. Do not
connect an incoming power lead to the far right hand connection.

Page 17 of 58
4. Check for proper voltage (labeled on the starter enclosure) and make sure all connections
are tight. The motor junction boxes on the motors are pre-wired for the correct voltage at the
factory.
Wires in the motor junction box must not be allowed to touch the inside of the junction
box. Use the foam cushions supplied with the motor to protect the wires.
5. Remove the weight covers from one side of the vibrator motors.
6. Turn on power supply to unit.
7. Bump start the motors to check the motor rotation direction of the separator as follows:
a. Push the Start button on the starter box, and then quickly push the Stop button.
b. Motors may rotate in either direction, but be sure the motors turn opposite to each other
or follow the arrows on the motors. If the motors turn in the same direction, switch any
two wires on one of the motors in the motor starter box to reverse its direction.
Operation with both motors turning in the same direction results in very poor shaker
performance.
8. Replace the motor weight covers. Bolt down the motor junction box covers and the starter
box cover.
9. Start the unit and check for proper vibration.
There should not be any side-to-side motion of the basket. Check side-to-side motion by placing a
thumb and forefinger on either side of the upper basket rail. The motion of the basket should cause
the rail to slip between the thumb and fingers without touching the fingers.

Installation
The following information provides the proper installation procedures for efficient and safe
operation. Please follow the recommendations closely. As always, adequate working space,
walkways, and handrails should be considered.
Throughout this manual, the “back” of the separator is the feed tank end, and the
“front” is the end where the dried solids fall off. Left and right are determined by
looking at the machine from the front.
Surfaces of the equipment are slippery. Use caution when working on or around to
avoid falling.
Some other guidelines for locating and installing the shaker include:
1. The unit(s) must be level in both directions to ensure even fluid distribution.
2. Do not weld or attach discharge troughs to the vibrating deck.
3. Do not install the solids slide above the bottom of the front shaker skid cutout.
Flow line connection
The flow line should connect near the bottom and center of the backtank. This minimizes settling
of solids. “Over the top” connection of the flow line to the backtank is discouraged. If necessary,
the pipe must be inserted at least two-thirds to the bottom of the backtank to prevent solids
buildup. Solids buildup in the backtank results in an undesired reduction in the volume of the
backtank and blockage of the dump valve. The drop or slope of the flow line should be a minimum
of 1:12, or 1 ft (0.3 m) of drop for each 12 ft (3.7 m) of the flow line.
The preferred hookup between multiple shakers is to use “Y” or “T” connections between the
shakers. Use valves to regulate flow to each shaker. This way, one shaker can still function while
repairing or changing a screen on the other shaker. For controlling flow, knife gate valves are
preferred over butterfly valves.

Screen installation
Screen installation requires minimal time or effort. However, if you do not follow these basic steps,
the result may be poor screen life and solids bypassing into the active system.
1. If mud is circulating, open the backtank bypass valve or divert mud to other shaker.
2. Wash down the screens while the shaker is running.
3. Shut down shaker.
4. Remove the screen wedge on each side of the basket for the screen being removed. Each
pre-tensioned screen on the separator may be removed individually without removing the
others.
5. Place screen wedges outside the basket in a safe place so they cannot fall into the sump of
the separator or into the mud tanks.
6. Remove the screen panel.
Wash down the screen support area prior to installing a new screen.
7. Replace worn or missing screen seals, screen supports, and crown rubbers. Screen seals
must be replaced in pairs and crown rubbers in sets.
Do not operate the machine without all screen seals and crown rubbers in place. See
section titled "Replacing seal strips and crown rubbers" on page 31.
8. Carefully lay in the new pre-tensioned screen panel.
9. Install screen wedges in designated slots on each side of the basket.
10. Check to see that the screen is straight across the basket and is engaging the retainer pins.
If your screens do not have holes to accommodate the retainer pins, contact your
NOV Brandt representative for assistance in retrofitting your screens. To locate the
NOV Brandt office nearest you, see Chapter 8, titled "Worldwide Locations".
11. Tighten screen wedges using a hammer or pry bar.
12. Check that screen wedges are tightly secured.
13. See Figure 3-3 for the correct screen installation.

Storage
Store the separator in a cool, dry place with the ability to test the unit for three hours once a month.
During storage
If the separator is to be stored after receipt instead of being immediately installed and operated,
the following steps should be taken to ensure that the unit does not degrade during storage.
When stored in a cool, dry location with adequate power:
1. Keep shipping bolts on the shaker at all times while in storage, if movement is possible. The
only exception is when the shaker is tested once a month. After the test or before shipment,
replace the shipping bolts. (See Figure 3-1.)
2. Test the operation of the shaker once a month. This requires connecting power to the
shaker, removing the shipping bolts, and running the shaker for three hours.
3. Open the starter box cover and spray the components with a water displacing solvent (for
example, WD-40®). Allow the solvent to dry, and then close the starter cover tightly. Keep all
other connections intact.
4. Replace the cable with a water-resistant material or short piece of cable if the power source
cable is removed from the starter box coupling. The starter box must be sealed at all times.
When stored outside or with inadequate power:
1. Cover the shaker with a protective tarp if possible.
2. Keep shipping bolts on the shaker at all times while in storage.
3. Replace the cable with a water-resistant material or short piece of cable if the power source
cable is removed from the starter box coupling. The starter box must be sealed at all times.
4. Remove the starter box cover and spray the components with a water displacing solvent (for
example, WD-40®) once a month. Allow solvent to dry then put the starter cover back on
tightly. Keep all other connections intact.
Retur ning to ser vice
Before returning the shaker to service after three or more months of storage, complete the
following steps:
1. Remove motor covers and rotate shafts by hand.
2. Continue to rotate motor shaft while installing 5.7 grams (4 shots from a 400 g grease gun)
of Kluber Isoflex® Topas NB52 or NB152 grease into each bearing.
3. Remove shipping bolts and connect power to the machine.
4. Turn on power supply to unit.
5. Bump start the motors to check the motor rotation direction of the separator as follows:
a. Push the Start button on the starter box, and then quickly push the Stop button.

b. Motors may rotate in either direction, but be sure that the motors turn opposite to each
other or follow the arrows on the motors. If the motors turn in the same direction, switch
any two wires on one of the motors in the motor starter box to reverse its direction.
Operation with both motors turning in the same direction results in very poor shaker
performance.
6. Run shaker for three hours and monitor motor bearing temperatures. At startup the motors
can run very hot, but after approximately three hours they should not operate at more than
70° F (21° C) above ambient temperature.

Cuttings are generally dry enough for most applications when the end of the liquid
pool is near the end of the third screen.
When gumbo or sticky clays are encountered, it may be necessary to lower the basket angle to get
the solids to convey properly. Although some baskets can be lowered to as much as 5° downhill,
running the shaker at a lower angle than necessary requires use of coarser screens to prevent
excess drilling fluid loss.
Screen blinding
If the screen’s openings plug (blind) with sand, there are several methods by which the screen
may be unplugged. If the screens are installed in the separator, rub the screens in a circular
motion with a cloth rag or cloth gloves. Or, with the screen removed, you may try blowing out the
solids from the bottom using high-pressure air or water.
Changing to a finer mesh screen may cause the near size sand that is blinding the screens to be
removed and discarded. Changing to a larger mesh screen may solve the blinding problem, but
increases the amount of solids returned to the active system.
Often it is necessary to experiment with several mesh sizes to minimize blinding while
drilling through unconsolidated sand formations. As a general rule, try finer screens
first.
Salt-water muds sometimes cause calcium deposits to coat the wires in the screen. As the layer of
calcium increases in thickness around the wires, the openings become plugged off. This usually
results in flooding. Steam cleaning usually removes the calcium deposits.

Maintenance
The separator requires very little maintenance. However, there are several maintenance checks
that, if done on a regular basis, provide extended service and performance.
Lubrication
Motor
Lubricate each bearing on the motors once every operating month (750 hours) per the following
instructions. Use only Kluber Isoflex® Topas NB52 grease (P/N 46AS) for operation in cold
ambient temperatures of -20°F to +50°F (-29°C to +10°C). You may use either NB52 or NB152 (P/
N 46AY) for ambient temperatures of 50°F to 100°F (10°C to 38°C). For hot ambient temperatures
above 100°F (38°C), you must use Isoflex Topas NB152 grease.
Using any grease other than Kluber Isoflex® Topas will void the motor warranty.
Do not mix Isoflex grease with any other grease.
1. Clean vibrator case around grease plug with a clean shop towel.
2. Remove grease plug from vibrator housing.
3. Install 1/8″ NPT grease fitting (P/N 33B) into the vibrator housing. Always use a new grease
fitting. Even small amounts of another grease may cause a negative reaction with the Isoflex
grease.
4. Install 5.7 grams (0.2 oz.) of grease with a grease gun into each grease fitting. 5.7 grams
equals 4 shots from a 400 gram grease gun.
5. Replace the grease fitting with the grease plug.
6. Do not lubricate for another operating month. Too much grease will ruin the motor and void
the warranty.
If the motor has been running and has not been lubricated for more than three months, put
20 shots in each bearing and then four additional shots each month per the above instructions.

Plastic laminated lubrication instructions are available free of charge for attachment to
each shaker. Request drawing PI7208.
For normal temperature conditions
One 400 gram tube of Isoflex Topas grease P/N 46AS. (One tube
can lubricate 35 motors.)
One 400 gram tube of Isoflex Topas grease P/N 46AY. (One tube
can lubricate 35 motors.)
Maintenance checks
Component Tasks
Screen wedge(s) Check to make sure all six are in good condition.

12. Bump start the motors to check the motor rotation direction of the standard separator as
follows:
a. Push the Start button on the starter box, and then quickly push the Stop button.
b. Motors may rotate in either direction, but be sure that the motors turn opposite to each
other or follow the arrows on the motors. If the motors turn in the same direction, switch
any two wires on one of the motors in the motor starter box to reverse its direction.
Operation with both motors turning in the same direction results in very poor shaker
performance.

General MARTIN® Explosion-proof Electric Vibrators, Models CDX, IMX and VMX
are designed and manufactured to ensure the best performance and reliability
in severe-duty applications. These vibrators have an ambient temperature
rating including mounting surface temperature of -4 to 131° F (-20 to 55° C).
If operating the vibrator in environments beyond these temperatures, call
Martin Engineering, as the vibrator may require rating reduction, more
frequent lubrication, or lubrication substitution.
Safety All safety rules defined in the above documents and all owner/employer safety
rules must be strictly followed when working on the vibrator.
Materials required In addition to metric hand tools, the following materials are required to install
this equipment:
• Rigid beam or mounting plate
• BBAC Cable Kit, P/N 32271, or equivalent
(Mount Kit for Electric Vibrators, P/N 32401-XX includes W-Beam Mount,
mounting hardware, and BBAC Safety Cable Kit.)
Storage Store vibrator in an ambient temperature not less than 41°F (5°C) with a
relative humidity not more than 60%. If the vibrator has been stored for 2 or
more years, remove bearings, wash them, and repack them with new grease
(see “Lubricating Vibrator”).
Before Installation
IMPORTANT
The delivery service is responsible for damage occurring in
transit. Martin Engineering CANNOT enter claims for
damages. Contact your transportation agent for more
information.
1. Inspect shipping container for damage. If damage has occurred, report
damage to delivery service and fill out delivery service’s claim form.
2. Remove vibrator from shipping container.
3. If anything is missing, contact Martin Engineering or a representative.
! WARNING
Turn off and lock out/tag out all energy sources.
4. Before installing vibrator, turn off and lock out/tag out all energy sources
to mounting structure according to ANSI standards (see “References”).
! WARNING
Gas level or dust content must be tested before using a cutting
torch or welding. Using a cutting torch or welding in an area
with gas or dust may cause an explosion.
5. If using a cutting torch or welding, test atmosphere for gas level or dust
content.
6. Make sure mounting surface is strong and flat, 0.010 in. (0.25 mm) across
vibrator feet. (This will minimize internal stress to vibrator casting when
tightening mount bolts. Welding in the area of the mounting surface could
affect flatness.)
7. Make sure mounting surface and vibrator are clean and free of debris,
paint, and oxidation.
IMPORTANT
Mounting vibrator Read entire section before beginning work. This manual
onto structure provides instructions for installations onto steel bins and
hoppers only. For other installations, call Martin Engineering
or a representative.
! CAUTION
If installation instructions are not followed, structure and
vibrator can be damaged. Abusing or dropping vibrator will
accelerate wear and cause bearing damage.
1. See Figure 1. Locate vibrator in lower 1/4 to 1/3 of structure slope length.
If second vibrator is required, mount 180° from first vibrator and halfway
up slope.
! CAUTION
Never weld structure with vibrator mounted and wired.
Welding may cause damage to motor windings and bearings.
IMPORTANT
The object of rotary vibration on bins, hoppers, and chutes is
to transmit vibration through the wall into the product
contained inside. If structure is not made rigid, vibrator may
draw high amperage and move material less efficiently.
Make sure structure is free of paint before mounting vibrator.
2. If using customer-supplied mounting plate to mount vibrator onto
structure, do the following:
a. Make sure plate is at least the size of vibrator base.
b. Locate plate so that vibrator can be positioned as shown in Figure 2.
c. Weld mounting plate onto structure.

rotation
! WARNING
Before checking shaft rotation, make sure area is known to be
non-hazardous.
! CAUTION
DO NOT run vibrator with eccentric weights removed.
Running vibrator with eccentric weights removed will
damage bearings.
! WARNING
When checking shaft rotation with weight cover removed,
keep hands away from swinging weights. Weights can crush
fingers.
2. Start vibrator(s) only for a few seconds, then stop.
3. Observe direction of vibrator rotation. If vibrator is not rotating in correct
direction, lock out/tag out energy source and reverse rotation. To reverse
rotation of three-phase vibrator, reverse any two of the three power supply
wires.
4. Replace weight cover, taking care not to pinch o-ring.
After Installation
Adjusting All Vibrators have one set of eccentric weights on each end of
eccentric weights shaft. Eccentric weights are set at 50% at factory. See Figure
10.
The percentage increments on the weight adjustment disks are
percentages of the total force pounds listed on the nameplate.
For example, if the nameplate shows 8340 lb, setting the
weights to 50% would produce 4170 pounds of force.
IMPORTANT
For the most efficient operation, vibrator eccentric weights
should be adjusted to the lowest force setting required to move
the material. This will increase vibrator life and reduce energy
costs.
! WARNING
Before adjusting eccentric weights, turn off and lock out/tag
out energy source to vibrator.
1. Turn off and lock out/tag out energy source to vibrator according to ANSI
standards (see “References”).
2. Remove weight cover.
