Detection of Failures in the Operation of Shale Shaker Machines for the separation of solids

The oil extraction industry is a demanding environment for equipment and machinery, due to the presence of corrosive substances and mechanical stress levels. For this reason, equipment is exposed to a series of factors that can cause failures and reduce its useful life, causing production delays. This study identifies the failures and variables related to erratic movements, structural damage, and overload in shale shaker machines that allows an analysis of the current state of the machine, its performance, and efficiency; to dimension a monitoring and early warning system in real time that reduces damage and reduces downtime. The proposed system includes the schematic design of a remote measurement module, which facilitates its installation and allows a modular implementation, as well as a graphical interface for data analysis.
