Key Technology Features
JKZ's screening systems incorporate several innovative features that deliver superior performance:
1. Intelligent Vibration Control
Our systems feature adjustable vibration patterns that can be optimized for different drilling conditions, cuttings characteristics, and fluid properties. This adaptability ensures maximum solids removal efficiency across a wide range of operational scenarios.
2. Advanced Screen Technology
JKZ's proprietary screen designs utilize layered composite materials that provide exceptional strength while maintaining precise opening sizes. Our anti-blinding technology prevents fine particles from clogging screen openings, maintaining consistent performance.
3. Enhanced Flow Distribution
Optimized feed systems ensure even distribution of drilling fluid across the entire screen surface, preventing localized overloading and maximizing the effective screening area.
