Orbital 3000

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

Performance:
The Orbital 3000 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 3000 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 3000 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 3000 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 3000 shaker weighs 4000 lb and is 10’ 3” long and 5’ 1" wide. The vibrators extend another seven inches on each side. The 26-1/2" weir height is one of the lowest in the industry, allowing placement on rigs with limited bell nipple-to-pit drop.

Orbital 3000: Benefits
  • 30 ft2 of screening area
  • high performance
  • competitively priced
  • dependable and durable
  • low maintenance
  • convenient cement bypass
  • minimal operational costs
  • simplification of rig move
  • low weir height
  • vibration isolation
  • minimal noise
  • simple to adjust screen angle
The Orbital 3000 comes with a tool box. This box contains equipment for operation and basic maintenance of the Orbital 3000 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
The explosion proof electrical box is powder coated, has an “O” ring seal on the door and rubber boots on the switches. Customer wiring consists of hooking power to the terminal strip.
Stainless steel spring isolators provide superior isolation and corrosion resistance. An Orbital 3000 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.
Single-motion linkage allows the bypass gate to be opened easily and quickly; the handle is visible to flag the operator about gate condition.
