An apparatus includes a shaker screen onto which downhole materials and fluid from a borehole are to be placed, the downhole materials a product of a downhole operation and a shaker to vibrate the shaker screen to separate the downhole materials from the fluid. The apparatus includes a radar to emit an electromagnetic wave onto the downhole materials on at least one of the shaker screen and a transit and detect a reflection of the electromagnetic wave reflected off at least a portion of the downhole materials and a device to determine a velocity of the downhole materials advancing along at least one of the shaker screen toward a discharge end of the shaker screen and the transit.

The present invention is directed to a drilling fluid reclaimer. The reclaimer has at least one adjustable screen assembly for providing a leveling filter for reclaimed drill fluid. Used drill fluid is placed at the screen assembly at the front the of the screen assembly. The at least one screen is vibrated to separate large particulate matter from liquid drilling fluid. A second screen is provided for additional filtering. Large particulate matter is expelled by a chute at the back of the screen assembly. Drilling fluid passing through the screen is reclaimed for use with a drilling system.

An apparatus and method directed to a vibratory separator configured to interchangeably operate in parallel distribution mode and combination series distribution mode for separating solid material suspended in incoming fluid is provided. The vibratory separator includes a top screening deck, a first intermediate screening deck, a second intermediate screening deck, and a bottom screening deck. The vibratory separator may be configured to distribute the incoming fluid in either parallel distribution flow or combination series distribution flow, whereby a bottom screen assembly disposed on the bottom screening deck is included when the vibratory separator is operated in the combination series distribution flow, and wherein the bottom screen assembly is excluded from the bottom screening deck when the vibratory separator is operated in the parallel distribution flow.

A vibrating screen is provided for separating excess water from particulate materials such as sand, gravel, iron ore, sludge or other particulate material and/or for grading, classifying or sorting particulate material by size. The vibrating screen includes a frame upon which is mounted a deck having a plurality of apertures therein, the frame being mounted on a base and being provided with vibration generating means for imparting vibration to the deck, wherein the frame includes pair of substantially parallel side walls between which the screen is mounted, each side wall including a pair of spaced apart side members defining outer faces of the side wall, at least one intermediate member being located between the side members, wherein the at least one intermediate member incorporates a plurality of apertures and/or cut-outs therethrough.

A screen panel assembly includes a screen panel and one or more raised screen components, wherein at least one of the raised screen components is disposed on the screen panel. Furthermore, each of the one or more raised screen components includes at least one inclined screen surface that defines a first plane that is oriented at a first angle relative to said screen panel. Additionally, the first plane is substantially aligned with a second plane that is oriented at a second angle relative to a third plane that is perpendicular to a displacement vector along which the screen panel assembly is accelerated by a vibratory separation device.
