Product Overview
The FT-VSM Multi series provides premium replacement shale shaker screens specifically engineered for NOV Brandt Multi-Sizer shakers. Designed to meet rigorous API RP13C standards, these screens ensure optimal solids control and fluid recovery in the most demanding drilling environments, effectively separating cuttings from drilling mud with high precision.
Constructed from high-grade Stainless Steel (304/316/316L) and supported by a robust Q235 steel frame, these screens offer exceptional mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. With available XR and XL series options, they provide versatile conductance numbers and separation microns to adapt to varying geological formations and fluid densities.

Frequently Asked Questions
The XR and XL series differ in their mesh construction and conductance capabilities. XL screens are typically designed for higher flow rates, while XR offers specialized separation characteristics. Selection depends on your specific fluid volume and desired cut point.
Yes, they are engineered as direct replacements. Following API RP13C standards ensures that they fit seamlessly into the Multi-Sizer frame without requiring modifications.
The API designation (e.g., API 100, API 200) refers to the mesh size. A higher number indicates a finer mesh for removing smaller particles. You should choose based on the required mud weight and the size of the solids you need to remove.
We use high-grade Stainless Steel 304, 316, or 316L. 316L is particularly effective in environments with high chloride content or aggressive chemical additives in the drilling mud.
Depending on the abrasiveness of the formations and the fluid properties, the expected working life ranges between 240 and 360 hours of active operation.
Yes, all FT-VSM Multi screens come with a standard 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects, ensuring your investment is protected.
