Our ZC Sealing Strip features high-elastic rubber material with Shore A Hardness of 60-70, ensuring tight sealing between screen panels and shaker baskets. With ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications and validation from HSE, TÜV, and BV, our products eliminate mud leakage gaps while buffering vibration friction. Manufactured in our 6,300-square-meter production facility in Xingping City, we leverage over 30 years of machinery manufacturing expertise to deliver factory-direct solutions with 3-day shipping for in-stock items and 15-day turnaround for custom orders.
These elastomeric sealing components are mounted between vibrating screen decks and shaker basket frames. These specialized rubber profiles create a resilient barrier that prevents drilling fluid leakage during mud separation processes.
In oil and gas drilling operations, your shale shaker equipment operates continuously under extreme conditions. Without proper sealing, costly drilling mud escapes through gaps, reducing screening efficiency and contaminating your worksite.
Our strips solve this challenge by maintaining consistent compression across the entire screen perimeter. They absorb high-frequency vibrations generated during shaker operation, protecting both the screen mesh and the equipment frame from premature wear.

Your drilling operations demand components that withstand harsh environments without failure. Our Shaker Bed Rubber Strips utilize premium-grade rubber compounds engineered for exceptional durability.
The high-elasticity formulation provides superior rebound properties. When vibration forces compress the strips, they immediately return to original shape, maintaining consistent sealing pressure throughout extended operational cycles.
Anti-aging additives protect against degradation from UV exposure, ozone, and temperature fluctuations. This ensures your sealing strips maintain flexibility even after months of continuous field deployment.
The wear-resistant composition guards against abrasive drilling fluids containing sand, clay particles, and chemical additives. You'll experience significantly extended service intervals compared to standard rubber products.
Corrosion resistance prevents swelling or softening when exposed to petroleum-based drilling muds. The material integrity remains stable across varying fluid compositions, from water-based to oil-based systems.
Beyond basic sealing functions, our strips deliver multiple protective advantages for your shale shaker equipment. They act as shock absorbers that dampen the intense vibrations generated by high-frequency shaker motors.
This buffering action prevents metal-to-metal contact between screen panels and the shaker basket. Direct steel-on-steel friction creates localized wear points that rapidly destroy expensive screen mesh.
By cushioning this interface, the strips distribute mechanical stress evenly across the entire screen surface. Your screens maintain structural integrity longer, reducing replacement frequency and operational downtime.
Acoustic dampening represents another critical benefit. The viscoelastic properties absorb vibration energy that would otherwise radiate as noise pollution. You'll notice substantially quieter equipment operation, improving worksite conditions for your crew.
The strips also prevent screen panel slippage during operation. The rubber's natural grip characteristics lock screens firmly in position, eliminating the shifting that causes uneven wear patterns and reduced separation efficiency.
Shaker Bed Rubber Strips deliver proven performance across diverse drilling environments and equipment configurations. Onshore drilling rigs operating in desert conditions benefit from the UV-stabilized EPDM formulation that resists sun exposure and extreme temperature swings.
Offshore platform installations utilize our corrosion-resistant variants designed for saltwater environments. The strips maintain sealing integrity despite constant spray exposure and high humidity levels.
Your horizontal directional drilling projects require reliable mud management in confined spaces. Our strips ensure zero leakage even when equipment operates at maximum capacity during trenchless operations.
Construction piling applications demand equipment that handles high-volume slurry processing. The strips protect your shaker screens during continuous sand removal operations on large-scale foundation projects.
Geothermal drilling operations benefit from our high-temperature EPDM strips that withstand elevated thermal conditions while maintaining elastic properties. The material won't harden or crack despite heat exposure from returned fluids.
We manufacture strips in comprehensive size ranges to match every major shale shaker model deployed worldwide. Whether you operate Derrick, Brandt, Mongoose, or other industry-standard equipment, we provide exact-fit profiles.
Our engineering team maintains detailed specifications for ZJ-series and XJ-series drilling rigs ranging from ZJ20 through ZJ90 models. You receive strips precisely dimensioned for your specific equipment configuration.
Custom sizing accommodates non-standard or modified shaker frames. Provide your dimensional requirements, and our manufacturing facility produces strips matching your exact specifications within 15 days.
Profile variety ensures optimal performance for your application. U-profile designs grip standard stringer bars securely. D-profile configurations suit specialized mounting arrangements. Winged profiles provide enhanced lateral support for heavy-duty screening operations.
The universal compatibility extends equipment investment value. When you upgrade or add shaker units, our comprehensive product range eliminates sourcing challenges for sealing components.
Your unique operational requirements receive dedicated engineering support. Our technical team collaborates with you to specify optimal material compounds, hardness levels, and profile designs for your specific drilling conditions.
Size customization accommodates any screen dimension or shaker basket configuration. We manufacture strips in any length from 200mm to 1500mm, with thickness and width tailored to your mounting specifications.
Material selection guidance helps you choose between Natural Rubber for standard applications or EPDM for demanding environments. We recommend Nitrile (NBR) compounds when your drilling fluids contain high oil content.
Color coding options simplify inventory management when you operate multiple equipment types. Specify distinctive colors for different strip sizes or material grades to prevent installation errors.
Factory-direct supply eliminates distributor markups while ensuring consistent quality. You purchase directly from our manufacturing facility, receiving the same precision-engineered products we supply to major drilling contractors worldwide.
Every batch of strips undergoes rigorous inspection before shipment to your location. Our quality control laboratory performs Durometer Hardness Testing per ASTM D2240 standards, verifying consistency across entire production runs.
Compression Set Testing (ASTM D395) confirms the rubber returns to original dimensions after prolonged pressure exposure. This guarantees your strips maintain sealing effectiveness throughout their service life.
Accelerated Aging Tests simulate years of field exposure in controlled laboratory conditions. We verify that material properties remain within specification after equivalent exposure to sunlight, heat cycling, and chemical contact.
Dimensional verification uses calibrated measurement equipment to confirm profile tolerances. The throat width that grips your stringer bars must achieve snap-fit precision for reliable installation and retention.
Abrasion Resistance Testing (ISO 4649) quantifies material loss rates against standardized abrasive surfaces. You receive documented proof that our strips exceed industry benchmarks for wear resistance.
Proper installation maximizes the performance and longevity of your strips. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the shaker basket frame and stringer bars, removing all mud residue and old rubber fragments.
Inspect the frame for damage or deformation that could prevent proper strip seating. Address any bent stringer bars or frame warping before installing new strips to ensure uniform contact pressure.
Align the strip profile with the stringer bar and press firmly until you hear or feel the characteristic "snap" of proper engagement. The rubber should grip the bar securely without gaps or looseness.
Install strips around the entire screen perimeter before mounting the screen panel. This ensures even compression distribution when you clamp the screen in place.
Check strip condition during routine screen changes. Replace strips showing surface cracking, hardening, or compression exceeding 25% of original height. Proactive replacement prevents screen damage and mud leakage.
Q: Why do my strips wear unevenly across the screen perimeter?
A: Uneven wear typically results from improper screen tensioning or misaligned stringer bars. Ensure uniform clamping pressure distribution when securing screens. Check that all mounting bolts achieve consistent torque specifications.
Q: Can these strips withstand high-temperature drilling applications?
A: Yes, but material selection matters critically. Specify EPDM compound strips for operations where returned mud temperatures exceed 70°C. Standard Natural Rubber degrades rapidly above this threshold, while EPDM maintains properties to 120°C.
Q: How do I identify when strip replacement becomes necessary?
A: Inspect strips during every screen change. Replace immediately when you observe the crown flattened beyond 25%, visible surface cracking, or hardening that reduces flexibility. Continuing operation with degraded strips causes screen damage.
Q: Do your strips resist petroleum-based drilling fluids?
A: Our standard Natural Rubber strips perform well with water-based muds. For oil-based or synthetic drilling fluids, specify Nitrile (NBR) compound strips that resist oil-induced swelling and softening.
Q: What advantage do winged profiles provide over standard designs?
A: Winged profiles offer enhanced lateral support and improved material shedding characteristics. The extended wings deflect solids away from stringer bars, reducing secondary abrasion and preventing fine-particle accumulation in critical sealing areas.
