Equipment Description
The AX-1 shale shaker is designed to deliver the most comprehensive improvement in fine screening
technology for over 15 years! Delivering both increased throughput capacity AND optimised solids
removal efficiency, the AX-1 offers the client a number of options which will both reduce equipment and
installation costs as well as significantly reduce operating expenditures.
Whilst it has been designed to maximize throughput volumes and improve separation performance, the
AX-1 is still very simple to operate and to maintain.
The AX-1 is designed to be supplied with a dedicated skid/feed system or as a retrofit option – capable
of installation onto standard VSM 120™, VSM 100™ or VSM 300™ skid bases.
The assembly is generally of welded construction and is fitted with specially designed screen decks
capable of supporting Axiom’s AX Screening System.
Air-inflatable clamps are used to secure ALL the screens in the machine – no manual tensioning is
required.
The basket is manufactured by Axiom Process Ltd in accordance with recognized practices and in
compliance with relevant the EU’s transposed harmonized standards (please refer to the CE
Declaration of Conformity).
The basket is supplied with a special feed distribution box – the type of which will be relevant to the skid
and header box system installed.
1.3.4 Screens
The AX-1 utilises the AX Screening System. The system is designed to optimise solids removal whilst
reducing operating costs. The screens are easy to remove, are site repairable (using plastic plugs)
and can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
Pre-tensioned screens are used throughout – with all three decks using identical pneumatic clamping
systems.
Although this specification was correct at time of printing, the Company reserves the right to amend the
equipment specification at their discretion and can therefore accept no liability for loss or damage
incurred through the use of the data attached. Please contact Axiom Process Ltd for an updated status
or information specific to your installation.

Given that each installation will be significantly different, please contact Axiom Process Ltd in the event
that you need to install or move this equipment.
It is of prime importance that the installation and commissioning of the equipment is carried out in
accordance with recognised safe working practices. It is therefore recommended that the following
safety reviews be carried out both before and during installation/commissioning:
1. A risk analysis be carried out and all risks removed or at least mitigated
2. A pre-job ‘toolbox’ talk be carried out prior to the commencement of work to ensure that all
personnel involved fully understand the tasks to be carried out
The following section details how the equipment and materials should be unpacked, lifted and handled
– thereby minimising the risk of injury, effort expounded and possible damage to the equipment.
2.4.1 Unpacking
The number of packages will depend on the quantity and configuration of the system which is to be
installed. The following procedure should, in general, be followed:
1. Before unpacking it is important that you first check the packages against the manifest/delivery note
2. The equipment is normally wrapped in a protective polythene cover. This can be removed by cutting
this away with a safety knife. Dispose of the polythene in the correct container
3. The equipment can then be released from the pallets by cutting the fixing bands. Note that the devices
used to retain the basket onto the skid base can be left in position until the equipment is sited
Four (4) x M20 Lifting Rings fixed into the holes on the top of
the spring mounting brackets
Basket Assembly If the basket is to be lifted in on its side, remove the mounting
brackets and attach the lifting rings into the tapped bosses
on the side of the basket. NEVER lift the basket on its side
with the drive system attached
Using a 2Te shackle, attach the lifting hook through the
upper lighting hole in the centre ‘cheek-plate’
Drive System
NEVER use this lift method if the basket is still attached to
the basket

Feed Distribution Pod
the top of the pod
Piping Spools Wrap & choke slings around the spools
Four (4) x M20 Lifting Rings fixed into four (4) tapped holes in
Skid Base the side of the skid base
Distribution Chute Slings through the feed spool on the rear of the chute
The final location of the equipment will depend on a number of factors and since each installation will
differ, each case shall be carefully considered. Please contact Axiom for details if applicable.
As a guide, the following areas should be addressed when considering equipment location.
¬ Mechanical Installation
¬ Electrical Installation
This section details the relevant procedures – although these are generic and may require modification
depending upon the specific installation and equipment supplied. Please contact Axiom Process Ltd if
in any doubt.
A commissioning check-list should be used, completed and attached to this manual for future reference.
Please ensure that a copy of the commissioning checklist is forwarded to Axiom Process Ltd for
reference. Please note that a checklist must be completed for EACH shaker.
Section 3 : Operation
3.1 Functional Description
The primary function of the AX-1 shale shaker is to remove drilled solids from a drilling fluid. The AX-1
is designed to operate in both oil and water based fluid environments.
Separation of solids from the fluid is achieved through classification using a filter screen. The filter
screen is vibrated, thereby increasing fluid throughput capacity as well as inducing the separated
particles to be conveyed off the screen and discharged at an appropriate location.
If in any doubt, personnel should contact Axiom Process Ltd for assistance and advice.

The following key points should be considered before starting work on the AX-1 shale shaker:
4.2.1 Daily
1. Perform audible check, investigating as necessary
2. Look around the shaker for signs of wear and tear or structural damage
3. Wash the AX-1 down with a suitable medium – thereby removing any build-up of solids
4. Apply three (3) shots of the approved grease (Shell Retinax LX2) to each main shaft bearing every
twelve (12) hours of operation. Four (4) grease nipples are supplied – two (2) on each side of the drive
system
5. If an autolube system is installed, ensure that the receptacle is at least 10% full – otherwise, alert the
maintenance personnel
6. To assure good bearing life it is essential that only the specified grease is used. Never lubricate the
bearings whilst the shaker is switched off – ONLY WHEN IT IS OPERATING
7. Check that the main air regulator is set at 90psi and that the air regulator for the rear packers is set at
70psi
8. Inspect the pneumatic clamping systems, rear packers and associated air systems for leaks or wear
4.2.2 Monthly
With the machine switched off and the power isolated the following procedures should be carried out:
1. Remove the drive system guards
2. Check for belt wear – replace any worn belts and check for misalignment of the pulleys
3. Check the tension of the 'V' belts. It should be possible to move and deflect the belts at mid span
between 3-4 mm by pressing with the hand. Adjust as necessary
4. Check all pulleys and bearings for wear
5. Check the main bearing seals for excessive leakage
6. Check that the drive head securing bolts are fully torqued up
7. Examine the electric motors shafts for wear or damage
Tools Required
2 6” Adjustable Spanner
1 4mm Allen Key
1. Ensure that the shaker is stopped and the STOP button is locked in position
2. Move the Packer switch to OFF
3. Disconnect the appropriate No.4 JIC Connector
4. Pull the packer/plate assembly from the slot
5. If necessary, remove the packer from the plate using the 4mm Allen Key
6. Using new M5 CSK screws refit the packer to the plate. The packer is stencilled ‘PLATE THIS SIDE’ to
ensure it is fitted correctly
7. Using a high-pressure wash gun, ensure that the basket slot is washed out to remove any debris
8. Refit the packer & plate assembly (ensure that the ‘handle’ is facing either up or forward as
appropriate)
9. Re-connect the No.4 JIC connector to the appropriate air-line

AX Screening System
The Philosophy
The AX Screening System
Axiom’s stated philosophy is to deliver highly
innovative products which deliver improvements Proprietary Sealing
in performance, cost effectiveness and HSE Arrangement
compliance
Reduced Cost: Screen failure mainly occurs on the rear screen panels (where the loading is at its highest). By employing six
panels (versus four), Axiom’s system restricts damage to a smaller (and cheaper) screen element
Environment Friendly: Because the support element remains on the rig, the only item which is discarded at the end of its useful life is
the small, light and site-repairable screen element. Axiom can also offer a recycling service
Flexibility: The AX screening system concept offers enhanced levels of design flexibility – delivering greater flexibility
and responsiveness to customer needs
No Compromise!: Whilst it is recognised that screen life can be improved through the use of alternative/coarser meshes,
separation efficiency is often compromised. Axiom believe that screen life improvements CAN be
achieved without such compromise and we therefore recommend that square mesh configurations be
employed in most applications
Screen Designations
Note:
Other screen designations are available on demand and can be
tuned to meet your specific requirements
Axiom Process Ltd are available on a 24 hour basis to assist in any
way with screen selection and operational issues

Service Bulletins
Purpose of Bulletin:
To develop the required vibratory motion on the AX-1, both drive shafts (front and rear) are fitted with
eccentric weights. These weights are secured using M16 x 140 bolts, nordlock washers and nuts.
The front shaft weight is shorter and requires 8 x bolts whilst the rear weight is longer and requires 10
x bolts. Reference drawings are: AP-01-01-0300 & AP-01-01-0301.
On three separate occasions, at least one bolt has sheared causing the weight to come loose. On
these occasions the situation has been recognised and the shaft weight re-attached or replaced.
Following further investigation of the method of attaching the weight it has been found that the torque
applied to the fasteners during manufacture has been incorrect – causing excessive pre-load of the
fastener. Combined with the additional risk of ‘gaulling’ of the stainless steel fasteners it has been
decided that all securing bolts should be replaced with a more suitable grade and torqued to the new
setting.
A set of new fasteners shall be sent to all relevant clients for onward shipping to the rig site. An
Axiom engineer is available at no charge to effect this modification which will be carried out under the
original warranty. It is stressed that, until this modification is carried out, there is a risk that the
original fasteners could shear thereby causing the eccentric weight to come loose and it is therefore
recommended that this modification is carried out as soon as practicable.
Maintenance Personnel: With due consideration for the on-going operation, personnel should
attempt to programme this modification as soon as possible. When a suitable time has been allotted,
a visit by an Axiom engineer should be scheduled to carry out the work. Please telephone: +44 1224
794200 or e-mail support@axiomprocess.com for assistance. The work will generally take 12-14
hours per machine – assuming that access is afforded to the equipment and isolation permits are in
place

Purpose of Bulletin:
It has been found on two separate occasions that lubrication of the main bearings on the AX-1 shale
shakers has not been carried out according to Axiom’s recommendations.
Given the magnitude of force exerted by the AX-1 drive system, it is crucial that the main drive
bearings are lubricated at the correct intervals with the correct grade of grease.
