To select a replacement Kemtron shaker screen, first confirm the shaker model and screen-panel design, then match the panel dimensions, mounting arrangement, screen construction, and required separation performance. A screen that looks similar may not lock into the deck or seal correctly, so do not order by brand name or mesh designation alone. Yuanpeng can review your equipment details and application requirements to help identify a suitable replacement specification; final compatibility should be confirmed against the actual shaker and screen configuration.

This guide is for drilling contractors, mud-system operators, distributors, and procurement teams sourcing replacement screens for Kemtron shaker equipment. It is also useful when a screen has no readable part number or when an older installation has been modified. The aim is to help buyers prepare the information a supplier needs before quoting, rather than assume that every Kemtron screen uses one interchangeable design.
A shaker screen is the separation surface installed on a shale shaker. As drilling fluid and drilled solids move across the vibrating panel, the screen retains particles according to its opening characteristics while allowing fluid and suitably sized material to pass through. The result depends on the screen itself as well as fluid properties, solids loading, shaker condition, and operating settings.
Replacement screens may differ in panel structure, support layers, screen cloth, edge construction, and tensioning or fastening method. These differences affect installation and can influence separation behavior. A replacement should therefore be selected as a complete panel specification, not just as a piece of mesh with a nominal count.
Screen panels are commonly distinguished by how the cloth is supported and attached to the shaker. Depending on the equipment design, a panel may use a rigid frame or a different tensioning and fastening arrangement. Confirm the original panel’s overall shape, edge profile, support structure, and contact points before choosing a construction.
Do not assume a panel is compatible because its length and width appear close to the original. Hook edges, clamps, wedges, seals, and frame height can affect whether it seats securely. If the design is unclear, share clear photographs of the panel from above, below, and along its edges.
Screen cloth may be specified by mesh count, opening size, wire diameter, layer arrangement, or a supplier’s product designation. Mesh count describes a count of openings over a stated distance, but it does not by itself provide the full aperture or open-area information. Two screens carrying a similar mesh label can behave differently if their wire dimensions, weave, or construction differ.
Materials and surface treatments should be selected for the fluid, solids, and operating environment. Stainless steel is used in many industrial screen applications, but the appropriate grade and construction depend on the service conditions and should be confirmed with the supplier. Avoid specifying a material solely because it was used on a previous order if the current application or fluid has changed.
Collect the information below from the equipment nameplate, existing panel, operating team, or maintenance records. Where a value is unknown, mark it as unconfirmed rather than filling in a guess. A supplier can then identify which details require measurement or sample review.

| Specification | What to provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Shaker identification | Manufacturer, model, and any available serial or part number | Helps narrow the equipment and panel configuration |
| Panel dimensions | Length, width, height, and relevant edge or frame details in millimeters | Supports a physical fit check |
| Mounting method | Clamps, wedges, tensioning arrangement, seals, or other retention details | Identifies how the panel is secured and seated |
| Screen specification | Mesh or opening target, wire details if known, and layer construction | Helps align separation requirements with the panel design |
| Operating conditions | Fluid type, solids characteristics, and any known wear or blinding issue | Provides context for material and performance selection |
For dimensional checks, use a measuring tool that reads to 1 mm and record the units on every measurement. This is a practical recording recommendation, not a claim about the manufacturer’s production tolerance. If the panel is distorted, worn, or damaged, measurements from a replacement drawing or equipment documentation may be more reliable than measurements from the used panel.
As a reference point, “100 mesh” can be used as an example of a mesh-count designation, but it is not a universal Kemtron specification or a guarantee of a particular opening size. Confirm whether the operating requirement is expressed as mesh count, aperture, or another screen designation. When the process is sensitive to separation, request the supplier’s stated specification rather than comparing labels alone.
Start with the physical fit because a screen that cannot be properly installed is not a usable replacement. Once the panel configuration is confirmed, assess the required separation and operating conditions. If the current screen is blinding, wearing quickly, or producing an unwanted solids cut, describe that issue to the supplier instead of ordering the same label automatically.
Replacement-screen pricing may depend on panel construction, materials, screen specification, order quantity, packaging, and destination. Minimum order quantities and lead times can vary with the required design and current production schedule, so they should be confirmed in a written quotation rather than assumed from a previous purchase. For a useful quote, send the equipment model, panel dimensions, screen requirement, quantity, delivery destination, and preferred shipping terms.
If the specification is uncertain, ask whether the supplier can review a sample, drawing, or photographs before production. Confirm what is included in the quoted item and whether any tooling, sample, or customization charges apply. These checks help procurement teams compare offers on a like-for-like basis.
A reliable sourcing discussion should establish how the supplier identified the replacement and what details remain unverified. Ask for the proposed dimensions and construction in writing, and request clarification on material, screen designation, packaging, and inspection information relevant to your order. Also confirm the supplier’s process for handling a fitment discrepancy or a specification change before production begins.
Yuanpeng supplies wire mesh products and can discuss replacement shaker-screen requirements based on the information provided by the buyer. We can review model details, drawings, sample panels, and application notes to help develop a quotation for consideration. Compatibility should be confirmed for the specific shaker configuration; where available, a drawing or physical sample is valuable for reducing uncertainty.
The safest way to source Kemtron shaker screens is to match the shaker model, panel dimensions, mounting design, and separation specification before placing an order. Do not rely on the brand name or mesh count as the sole compatibility check. Record measurements in millimeters, provide photographs or documentation, and have the supplier confirm the proposed panel details in writing.
To request a quotation from Yuanpeng, prepare your shaker model, screen quantity, dimensions, screen designation, operating conditions, and delivery destination. If some details are unavailable, send the information you have and identify what is uncertain. This gives both sides a clear basis for reviewing replacement options and confirming the next step.
