Orbital 3000 Horizontal Boring (3000HB)

This page shows many beneficial and unique features of VFSI's Orbital 3000HB. Take a look and see why VFSI's Orbital 3000HB excels in performance, reliability, and durability.

Performance:
The Orbital 3000HB uses orbital motion for extended screen life and excellent conveyance. The large screen area of 30 ft2 and high g forces of over 6 g’s result in exceptional performance. Shaker performance can be characterized by the product of screening area and g's. The Orbital 3000HB run at 6.25 g's, provides 188 ft2-g's. This is one of the largest performance ratings in the industry.

Durability:
All baskets are fully seal welded and stress relieved. Seal welding reduces corrosion, adding years to machine life. The Orbital 3000HB pretension screening machine requires minimal maintenance, even in oil based muds.

Corrosion Protection:
Two layers of powder coat. Baked on zinc-rich epoxy first coat provides corrosion resistance. Final coat provides abrasion resistance. Most fasteners are stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance.

Vibration Isolation:
The Orbital 3000HB is exceptionally quiet, due to efficient isolation, orbital motion and a sturdy base. With the machine running, it is possible to stand a nickel on edge at each corner of the machine.

Weight and Dimensions:
The Orbital 3000HB shaker weighs 4000 lb and is 8’ 10” long and 6’ 10" wide with a unit height of 4" and a manifold height of 5" 2'.

Orbital 3000HB: Benefits
  • 30 ft2 of screening area
  • high performance
  • competitively priced
  • dependable and durable
  • low maintenance
  • minimal operational costs
  • vibration isolation
  • minimal noise
  • simple to adjust screen angle
Horizontal Boring Applications

Horizontal boring applications require shakers capable of handling high solids laden fluids. The VFSI Orbital 3000HB has exceptionally good solids conveyance. As a result, solids do not pile up on the shaker. This greatly improves fluid handling capacity and screen life. VFSI has a large number of satisfied customers. Please call for references.
The Orbital 3000HB comes with a tool box. This box contains equipment for operation and basic maintenance of the Orbital 3000HB shakers and Martin vibrators.
  • wedge block installation tool
  • ISOFLEX TOPAS NB 52 vibrator grease
  • grease gun
  • allen wrench set
  • 1/4" metric deep socket set
  • extra isolator
Stainless steel spring isolators provide superior isolation and corrosion resistance. An Orbital 3000HB resting on flat concrete will not “walk”.
The Martin 5900 vibrators are exceptionally durable. The Martin vibrators are capable of delivering 6 g’s of vibration to the Orbital 3000.
The angle of the screen basket can be adjusted from 1 to 5 degrees from either side using a hand crank.
  • Durable polyurethane wedge blocks hold screens securely in place.
  • Manufactured with a steel insert for increased rigidity.
The wedge block installation tool simplifies wedge block installation and removal. This tool reduces the chance of screen damage.
Customer wiring consists of hooking power to the terminal strip.
