ABSTRACT:
A vibratory separator for separating drilling solids from drilling mud after return from the well bore, including a separator screen and a screen cleaning device positioned adjacent the screen. The screen cleaning device is supported by suitable means to permit filtered mud to pass freely through the device for collection below. The screen is a fine wire mesh mounted in a unique manner to the separator housing such that it vibrates during operation of the system to keep drilling solids from clogging the wire mesh and restricting the flow of drilling mud. The screen cleaning device serves to support the screen and mud thereon in addition to vibrating and wiping the screen as the device rotates due to the orbital oscillatory vibrations of the system.
