As a leading manufacturer since 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory proudly presents the Premium API 13C Composite Layered Screen, engineered specifically for efficient sandstone drilling operations. Combining decades of wire mesh expertise with advanced composite layering technology, our screen delivers superior solids control, enhanced durability, and consistent performance under harsh downhole conditions. This product is designed to maximize drilling fluid recovery while minimizing screen wear, directly contributing to lower operational costs and higher productivity on your rig.
Our composite layered screen features a unique structure that integrates multiple layers of high-tensile wire mesh, bonded together with a proprietary epoxy coating. This design significantly increases the screen's rigidity and resistance to impact, abrasion, and blinding, making it the ideal choice for sandstone formations where coarse, angular cuttings are common. Each screen is manufactured in strict compliance with API 13C standards, ensuring accurate cut points and consistent fluid handling across all shaker decks.
Key Technical Specifications

| Layer Construction | 2-layer (reinforced) or 3-layer (heavy-duty) | Enhanced strength and longevity |
| Mesh Material | Stainless Steel 304/316L (optional carbon steel) | Corrosion resistance in high-solids mud |
| Open Area | Up to 45% (varies by grade) | High flow rate and efficient solids removal |
| Frame Type | Steel / Aluminum (customizable, hookstrip or pretensioned) | Compatible with most shaker brands |
| Operating Temperature | -20°C to 150°C | Suitable for extreme drilling environments |
Product Features and Advantages
- Composite Layered Design – The multiple layers are bonded under high tension, preventing shifting and delamination during high-vibration shaker operation. This ensures consistent cut points throughout the screen's life.
- Efficient Sandstone Drilling – Sandstone formations often produce large, abrasive cuttings that can quickly damage standard screens. Our composite layers absorb impact and reduce wear, extending screen life by up to 50% compared to single-layer screens.
- API 13C Compliance – Every screen is manufactured to meet API 13C (ISO 13503) specifications, guaranteeing accurate D50 cut points and reliable performance. This means you get predictable solids control with minimal fluid loss.
- High Open Area – Our precision weaving process maximizes the open area while maintaining structural integrity. This translates to higher mud throughput, faster drilling rates, and reduced mud costs.
- Customizable Dimensions – We offer screens in any size to fit your specific shaker model (MI Swaco, Derrick, Brandt, etc.). Custom frame types and hookstrip configurations are available upon request.
- Enhanced Durability – The epoxy coating and stainless steel mesh resist corrosion from acidic or basic drilling fluids, ensuring long-term performance even in harsh chemical environments.
- Easy Installation – Pretensioned screens come with pre-installed gaskets and are ready to install directly onto your shaker deck, reducing downtime during screen changes.
Customer Benefits
- Reduced drilling fluid losses – Up to 20% less dilution required due to better solids separation.
- Lower screen replacement frequency – Longer service life means fewer changeouts and less labor.
- Improved shale shaker efficiency – Higher flow capacity allows you to run at higher G-force without sacrificing cut quality.
- Compatibility with both oil-based and water-based mud systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between composite layered screens and standard single-layer screens?
A: Composite layered screens consist of two or three layers of wire mesh bonded together, offering higher strength, better resistance to impact from large cuttings, and longer service life. Single-layer screens are more prone to tearing and deformation in abrasive sandstone formations.
Q2: How do I choose the correct API 13C grade for my sandstone drilling operation?
A: The grade depends on the particle size distribution of your formation cuttings. For coarse sandstone, grades like API 20-40 are recommended; for finer slits, API 80-120 are suitable. We can provide a free sieve analysis recommendation based on your mud sample.
Q3: Are your screens compatible with Derrick, MI Swaco, and Brandt shakers?
A: Yes, we manufacture screens with custom dimensions and frame types to fit most major shaker brands, including Derrick FLC, MI Swaco Mongoose, Brandt Cobra, and others. Please provide your shaker model and screen dimensions when ordering.
Q4: What is the typical lead time for custom-sized screens?
A: For standard sizes, lead time is 7-15 days. Custom sizes require 15-20 days depending on the complexity. We can also offer expedited shipping for urgent orders.
Q5: Can you provide samples for testing before bulk purchase?
A: Yes, we offer sample screens (1-2 pieces) at a nominal cost, with the sample fee deducted from your first bulk order. Samples are shipped within 5 days.
Q6: How do you ensure the screen quality meets API 13C standards?
A: We follow strict quality control procedures: each batch of wire mesh is tested for tensile strength, mesh count, and aperture size using calibrated optical and mechanical instruments. Our screens are independently verified to meet API 13C D50 requirements.
Q7: What is the maximum operating temperature for these screens?
A: The standard screens can withstand temperatures up to 150°C. For higher temperature applications (e.g., geothermal drilling), we can supply screens with special high-temperature epoxy coatings – please contact us for details.
Q8: Do you offer any warranty on your screens?
A: Yes, we provide a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects, including delamination, frame breakage, and mesh detachment. Warranty claims are handled promptly.
