7. 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.
7.1 Variations Among MONGOOSE PRO Configurations
M-I SWACO offers a variety of MONGOOSE PRO configurations; operators should become familiar with the
particular model they will be using. Below is an overview of the configuration variations.
7.1.1 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

7.1.2 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.
Figure 3. MONGOOSE PRO with Butterfly Valve Possum Belly

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.
7.1.3 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

7.1.4 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 5 & Figure 6). 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 5. MONGOOSE PRO Dual Shaker with Common Possum Belly and Knife Gate
Figure 6. MONGOOSE PRO Triple Shaker with Common Possum Belly and Knife Gate

7.1.5 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 7). 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 7. MONGOOSE PRO Quad Shakers

7.1.6 Mud Cleaner Configurations

The MONGOOSE PRO is also available in mud cleaner configurations. MONGOOSE PRO 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 8 is an example of a MONGOOSE PRO Mud Cleaner equipped with a
3-12 D-SANDER and 10T4 D-SILTER.
Figure 8. MONGOOSE PRO Mud Cleaner

13.1 Pre-Start Checklist
THE FOLLOWING STEP REQUIRES INTERACTING WITH EQUIPMENT THAT

PRESENTS POTENTIAL PINCH POINTS FOR OPERATORS. KEEP ALL LIMBS FREE
OF SCREENS AND USE VALVE LOCKOUTS.
WARNING
Figure 24. Screens & Wedges Firmly Engaged

• Confirm the shaker decks have screens loaded and secured to the basket (Refer to Figure 24). Consult paragraph
16.3.2 for screen installation steps.
• Confirm the MONGOOSE PRO has power to the control panel and motors.
• Confirm the fluid connections to the feeder are secure.
• Confirm the discharge locations are appropriately routed.
The unit is ready for startup.
13.2 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 THE SCREEN SURFACE FOR
OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE. THIS ALLOWS OPERATORS TO USE THE FINAL
TIP SCREEN TO DRY THE CUTTINGS MORE EFFECTIVELY.

14. OPERATING EQUIPMENT

14.1 Adjustable Parameters During Normal Operating Conditions
14.1.1 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
14.1.2 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.
14.1.3 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 25). 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.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO SHUT DOWN THE EQUIPMENT TO ADJUST THE DECK

ANGLE.
NOTE

Figure 25. Basket (Deck) Elevator Jack
DO NOT USE AIR/PNEUMATIC RATCHET OR WRENCH TO ADJUST THE DECK

19. PRESERVATION AND STORAGE

19.1 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.
19.2 Storage of Commissioned Equipment
• Reinstall original shipping brackets to protect equipment.
• When disconnecting power connections to control station and motors, plug all inlets with an appropriate fitting
to keep water/moisture from entering. Do NOT leave any electrical connections open and exposed.
• Add anti-condensation packs to motor J-Boxes and control station.
• Install and seal all control station doors and Junction Box Covers.
20. 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 15).
• Unit has been properly cleaned (Refer to paragraph 17).
• Screens have been removed (Refer to paragraph 16.3.1).
• Unit has been disconnected from fluid piping.
• Shipping brackets have been reinstalled (Refer to paragraph 11.2).
Once these steps are completed, the equipment is ready for transportation.

21. PARTS DRAWINGS AND LISTS

21.1 Assemblies, Sub-Assemblies, Spare Parts Lists, Additional Hardware
21.1.1 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 9 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 10) and exploded view (Refer to Figure 39)
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 11) 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 12) and the Quad MONGOOSE PRO
Shale Shaker Spare Parts List (Refer to Table 13) 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 14) and swing (Refer to Table 15) 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 15 as soon as possible after swing weight motor failure.
