FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker is designed to provide primary solids removal from both oil-based mud
(OBM) and water-based mud (WBM) during drilling operations. The MONGOOSE PRO has a screen deck made
of four pretensioned composite wire mesh screens. Each MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker screen is secured to the
basket with two screen wedges. An optional stainless steel vibratory vent hood upgrade is available for jobs that
require fume extraction. The MONGOOSE PRO deck adjustment system allows flexible control of fluid pool
depth and beach length in a variety of drilling conditions.
The MONGOOSE PRO is equipped with two explosion-proof vibratory motors that produce a dual motion
system. The Normal (Efficiency) mode is a progressive elliptical motion used during normal drilling conditions to
maximize both screen life and cuttings retention time. The motor output for this mode is 6.5Gs. The Capacity
mode is a balanced elliptical motion used during fluid surges and heavy solids loading. The motor output is 7.5Gs
when operating in Capacity mode. Each unit has a fluid distribution box. There are a number of unique equipment
options available to suit a variety of rig conditions and/or requirements.
6.1 MONGOOSE PRO Configurations
M‑I SWACO offers a variety of MONGOOSE PRO configurations; this content will help operators become
familiar with the particular model they will be using. Below is a configuration overview.
6.1.1 Shaker with Header Box
The fluid distribution system is at the rear of the shaker basket and is mounted above the screen deck (Refer to
Figure 2). Fluid is redirected from the inlet line through the header box into a half pipe at the rear of the basket.
Since fluid distribution is mounted above the screen deck, no trap exists to collect solids. As fluid passes through
the diverter box, it sweeps the box clean.
Figure 2. MONGOOSE PRO with Carbon Steel Header Box

6.1.2 Shaker with Possum Belly with Butterfly Valve Bypass
The butterfly valve is located below the main inlet on the possum belly (Refer to Figure 3). The bypass is
manually opened and closed. When it is closed, fluid flow is directed through the possum belly to the shaker bed.
The butterfly valve bypass is opened by rotating the valve 90°. When butterfly valve is opened, fluid is redirected
into the skid, bypassing the screens.

Figure 3. MONGOOSE PRO with Butterfly Valve Possum Belly

6.1.3 Shaker with Possum Belly
The open possum belly accommodates a variety of feeder options (Refer to Figure 4).
Figure 4. MONGOOSE PRO with Possum Belly

6.1.4 Shaker with Vent Hood

Some MONGOOSE PRO configurations are equipped with a stainless steel vent hood (Refer to Figure 5). The
vent hood covers the exposed basket area of the shaker and offers a 10”, 150LB fume extraction port used to
divert fumes safely away from the shaker. Access panels line the sides of the hood to allow operators to install or
remove screen wedges and screens. This option is critical on rigs that house shale shakers indoors.
Figure 5. MONGOOSE PRO with Vent Hood (ATEX Controls)

6.1.5 Dual & Triple Shakers with Common Possum Belly and Knife Gate Bypass
The knife gate is controlled by a single rotating hand wheel (Refer to Figure 6 & Figure 7). When the knife gate is
opened, fluid is redirected into the skid bypassing the screens. The manually operated header box slide gates are
used to control the flow rate to each shaker.
Figure 6. MONGOOSE PRO Dual Shaker with Common Possum Belly and Knife Gate

Figure 7. MONGOOSE PRO Triple Shaker with Common Possum Belly and Knife Gate
6.1.6 Quad Shakers with Feed Manifold Assembly, Header Boxes & Butterfly Valve Bypasses
Mud feeds into the back of the feed manifold assembly with the flow evenly distributed to each of the header
boxes (Refer to Figure 8). Butterfly valves located at each header box are used to open or close flow to a
particular shaker. Butterfly valves located at the top of the feed manifold are used to close off flow to shakers
enabling the use of a cement bypass.
Figure 8. MONGOOSE PRO Quad Shakers

6.1.7 Mud Cleaner Configurations

The MONGOOSE PRO is also available in mud cleaner configurations. Mud Cleaners are equipped with
D-SANDER and/or D-SILTER hydrocyclones. These hydrocyclones provide finer filtration than the Shale Shaker
basket wire mesh screens. Variations in each configuration allow the equipment to operate at specific flow rates.
Figure 9 is an example of a MONGOOSE PRO Mud Cleaner equipped with a 3-12 D-SANDER and 10T4 D-
SILTER.

Figure 25. Screens & Wedges Firmly Engaged

12.2 Starting Sequence

1. Complete the clamping process to secure screens.
2. Wet the shaker screens with a substance compatible with the drilling fluid.
3. Select Normal or Capacity mode on the control panel, depending on the drilling parameters and conditions.
a. The “Capacity” or Balanced Elliptical mode effectively processes high-volume solids. The “Normal” or
Progressive Elliptical mode produces drier cuttings and maximizes drilling fluid recovery.
4. Press the START button on the control panel.
5. Open fluid valve to the header box/feeder. Allow fluid to flow over the shaker screens.
APPLY FLOW OF FLUID SLOWLY AND GRADUALLY AT FIRST TO AVOID FLOODING

THE SCREENS. ADJUST FLUID FLOW TO MAINTAIN OPTIMAL POOLING LEVELS.
NOTE
KEEP FLUID END POINT AT 75% COVERAGE OF TOTAL SCREEN SURFACE FOR
OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE. THIS ALLOWS OPERATORS TO USE THE FINAL
TIP SCREEN TO DRY THE CUTTINGS MORE EFFECTIVELY.
13. OPERATING EQUIPMENT

13.1 Adjustable Parameters During Normal Operating Conditions
13.1.1 Screen Selection
Optimal screen mesh selection depends on a number of factors:
 Flow rate
 Fluid condition
 Formation
 Rate of Penetration (ROP)
 Fluid type
 Quantity of shakers
OPERATORS SHOULD USE THE FINEST SCREEN MESH POSSIBLE TO ENSURE

OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE TO THE RELATIVE SCREEN LIFE.
TIP
13.1.2 Adjusting Flow Rate

Flow rate is controlled external to the equipment, typically with a butterfly valve installed immediately prior to
the fluid inlet. The optimal fluid end point is 35-45cm (14-18”) from the discharge end of the scalping deck
screen (approximately 75% screen deck coverage). The flow rate should be adjusted to maintain a constant pool
level at that optimal deck coverage.

13.1.3 Adjusting Basket (Deck) Angle

The basket assembly of the MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker is designed to have nominal angles of -3° to +3°.
THE ANGLES ON THE BASKET ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR CAN BE SET TO AN

ANGLE FROM -3°-+3°.
NOTE
The basket deck angle is manually adjustable between -3° to +3° degrees (Refer to Figure 26). Lower deck angle
settings result in longer screen life and wetter cuttings. Higher angle settings result in drier cuttings and increase
fluid capacity. The fluid end point is affected by adjusting the basket angle or selecting a different screen mesh
size.
DO NOT USE AIR/PNEUMATIC RATCHET OR WRENCH TO ADJUST THE DECK

ANGLE JACK.
CAUTION DO NOT ADJUST MORE THAN 2° PER SIDE WHEN ADJUSTING THE DECK ANGLE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

IMPORTANT TO CARRY OUT AN EXTENSIVE WASH DOWN AFTER FINAL
CAUTION COMPLETION FLUIDS ARE CIRCULATED.
1. Follow the “Normal Daily Wash Down” procedures previously listed in paragraph 16.1.
2. Lift the shaker basket to its highest uphill angle and thoroughly wash interior of basket.
AT THIS POINT, THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY SCREENS IN THE BASKET.

NOTE
3. Wash screens separate from one another.

18. PRESERVATION AND STORAGE

18.1 Storage of Non-Commissioned Equipment
Equipment can be stored (upon arrival) in the shipping crate for a 12 to 24 month preservation period. Do NOT
expose equipment to dust, vibration or extreme weather conditions (such as heavy rain). If unit has been removed
from original crate, cover with a tarpaulin during any preservation period.
Every 1-3 months, examine the motors. Remove their weight covers and rotate the counterweight to preserve the
bearings.
18.2 Storage of Commissioned Equipment
Complete the following steps to prepare any commissioned MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker units for storage:
1. Reinstall all original shipping brackets to protect equipment.
2. When disconnecting power to the control station and motors, plug all inlets with an appropriate fitting to keep
water/moisture from entering.
DO NOT LEAVE ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPEN OR EXPOSED.

CAUTION
3. Add anti-condensation packets to motor junction boxes and control panels.

4. Plug all electrical connections to prevent corrosion.
5. Install and seal all control station doors and junction box covers.
USING HERCULES REAL TUFF THREAD SEALANT WITH TEFLON

(MSDS NS 5820 A.5.4) ON PLUG THREADS WILL HELP PREVENT LEAKAGE (REFER
NOTE TO FIGURE 36).
Figure 36. Teflon Sealant Used on Plug Threads

19. RIG-DOWN / PREPARING EQUIPMENT FOR RELOCATION

To prepare a unit for rig down or relocation, ensure the following has occurred:
 Unit has been properly shut down (Refer to paragraph 14).
 Unit has been properly cleaned (Refer to paragraph 16).
 Screens have been removed (Refer to paragraph 15.3.1).
 Unit has been disconnected from fluid piping.
 Shipping brackets have been reinstalled (Refer to paragraph 10.2).
Once these steps are completed, the equipment is ready for transportation.

20. PARTS DRAWINGS AND LISTS

20.1 Assemblies, Sub-Assemblies, Spare Parts Lists, Additional Hardware
20.1.1 Rig Critical Spares (1 Year)
READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION BEFORE PLACING ANY MOTOR ORDERS.
REFER TO M-I SWACO HYDROCYCLONE DOCUMENTATION FOR SPARE PARTS

NOTE
INFORMATION SATISFYING THE HYDROCYCLONE COMPONENTS OF A
MONGOOSE PRO MUD CLEANER.
The following pages in this section contain Rig Critical Spare Parts Lists for the following general configurations:
 MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shakers
 Dual MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shakers
 Triple MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shakers
 Quad MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shakers
For quick reference, Table 7 provides an overall Rig Critical Spares (1 Year) List. It contains the part number for
every MONGOOSE PRO Rig Critical Spares (1 Year) Kit. Ordering one of these kits will provide rigs with all
parts necessary to operate and maintain a unit for one year. Spare parts kits are grouped by the quantity of baskets
and configuration motor voltage.
The MONGOOSE PRO Rig Critical Spare Parts List (Refer to Table 8) and exploded view (Refer to Figure 37)
identifies the spare parts required to keep the unit operating in the field. The MONGOOSE PRO basket
assemblies and skids in the Dual, Triple and Quad MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker exploded views have been
removed to call attention to the additional spare parts for each unique configuration.
Dual MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker assemblies require the same spare parts (in addition to the unique spare
parts required to maintain Dual MONGOOSE PRO assemblies) as a single MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker.
Therefore, line item one in the Dual MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker Spare Parts List (Refer to Table 9) refers to
the entire MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker Spare Parts List, with a quantity of one.
Triple and Quad MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker assemblies require twice the quantity of spare parts (in addition
to their own unique spare parts) as a single MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker. Therefore, line item one in both the
Triple MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker Spare Parts List (Refer to Table 10) and the Quad MONGOOSE PRO
Shale Shaker Spare Parts List (Refer to Table 11) both refer to the entire MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker Spare
Parts List, with a quantity of two.
Additionally, this section also contains a breakdown of MONGOOSE PRO motor kits for both the fixed (Refer to
Table 12) and swing (Refer to Table 13) weight motors.
In the event of a swing weight motor failure, a fixed weight motor can be substituted in its place. While any
MONGOOSE PRO unit will retain basic functionality with two fixed weight motors, this setup will severely limit
the unit’s performance; Dual-motion functionality is not possible for units operating with two fixed weight
motors.
To avoid any significant operation downtime, M-I SWACO recommends ordering a replacement Swing Weight
Motor Kit from Table 13 as soon as possible after swing weight motor failure.
