* ONLY "RUMBA," through Constant Research, builds more performance into the Shale Shaker. Now
available on all "RUMBA" is a NEW and BIGGER Vibrational Orbit to speed cuttings off the screen.
The NEW ORBIT permits more effective screening at still higher RATES OF FLOW.

positively preventing whipping or flexing of the screen cloth.
* ONLY "RUMBA" has built-in DE-SANDER that removes tons of sand
through Flotation.
The under-slung Screen Cloth, with the entire
frame above the Screen, leaves no obstructions on
the underside of the Cloth. A droplet of mud on the
underside of the Screen Cloth is loaded with fine
flour-like sand that falls through the meshes of the
Cloth. This droplet (with its load of sand) is
held together on its
way to the bottom of
the Cloth by surface
tension. The molecu-
lar force of adhesion
holds it to the bottom
of the cloth. Sand en-
trapped in the droplet
falls clear of the mud
returns onto the De-
Sanding Tray. This
patented method of
sand removal is very
effective and permits
substantial savings in
pump maintenance,
plus producing cleaner
Drilling Mud.
