Introduction
The role of a King Cobra HS separator
The Brandt King Cobra Hook Strip (HS) separator is a fine-screen linear motion
shaker. The separator is almost always located at the flow line unless it is preceded
by a scalping or gumbo separator. The King Cobra HS removes a large percentage
of drill cuttings before the mud is circulated through the surface mud system leading to
improved performance of downstream solid control equipment.
The King Cobra HS separator is designed to do two primary jobs: separate drilled
solids from the mud and transport the solids rapidly and efficiently off the screens.

How the King Cobra HS works

The three features key to the operation of the King Cobra HS are the basket and angle
adjustment system, the vibrator system, and the screen tensioning system. These
systems work with the uniquely designed separator basket to give the highest fluid
throughput and driest solids in a compact and reliable separator.

King Cobra HS basket and pivot system

The basket's patented screen configuration is a major advance over previously
available separators. During normal operation, with the basket in the neutral position,
the first screen will be evenly flooded with one (1) to two (2) inches of mud. The pool
of mud creates an even hydrostatic head on the screen surface that increases the
amount of mud that can pass through the first three screens (See Figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1. King Cobra HS under normal operating conditions

In traditional shakers, with all screens in the same plane, the operator must raise the
basket to create a liquid pool. The resulting pool is wedge shaped and can cause a
slow-moving solids bed to form (See Figure 2-2). The material in the slow-moving
solids bed is very slow to convey and is ground into fine solids, which negatively
affects the mud system. Screen life is also jeopardized due to slow-moving solids bed
formation. Because the first screen of the King Cobra HS is flooded more evenly and
shallowly, a slow-moving solids bed will not form, thus increasing screen life and
optimizing shaker performance.

The design of the King Cobra HS basket also includes a drying screen. During normal
operation, the liquid pool extends to the end of the third screen and the fourth screen
is used to remove all excess liquid from the screened particles (dry the cuttings).
During flow surges or changes in flow conditions, liquid can run off of the end of the
third screen and onto the fourth screen. Fluid on the fourth screen flows to the rear of
the screen and builds up a second pool, preventing the loss of any whole mud off the
end of the shaker. (See Figure 2-3)

Figure 2-3. King Cobra HS under upset operating conditions

The King Cobra HS has a manually operated basket angle adjustment system. The
angle adjustment system allows the basket to be tilted upward by as much as
three degrees and downward by as much as one degree. During unusually heavy flow
conditions the basket can be pivoted uphill to increase the depth of the pool. This
deeper pool will allow the shaker to handle the unusual flow conditions without a loss
of whole mud off the end of the shaker.
Sticky clays and gumbo often will not convey uphill and may not convey horizontally
with a linear motion shaker. When sticky clays or gumbo are encountered, the basket
can be tilted downward to make sure that the material conveys. The operator can
adjust the basket angle while the unit is running by using the hand wheels located on
each side of the basket. An angle adjustment plate and safety pendant near the back
of the basket show the basket angle and take the load off the jacking system during
normal operating conditions.

Vibrator system
The vibrator system includes the two canister type vibrator motors, a motor mounting
motion tube, and a plate. Each vibrator motor contains eccentric weights that generate
a circular shaking force when rotated. During operation the two motors rotate in
opposite directions, creating a net linear shaking force on the basket. This linear
shaking force is directed through the center of mass of the basket, resulting in equal
linear motion along the entire length of screening surface. The motion conveys the
solids along the screen, even uphill, and off the discharge end of the shaker. The
basket motion has been carefully designed to give the unit optimum performance over
a wide range of drilling conditions.

The angle of the basket's linear motion relative to a line perpendicular to the screen
surface is called the angle of attack (conveyance angle). The angle of the baskets
linear motion relative to a line parallel to the screen surface is called the conductance
angle. The King Cobra HS uses a 40 conveyance angle and a 50 conductance
angle. See Figure 2-4 for a diagram of these angles.

Inspection
Prior to setting up and operating a new King Cobra HS separator, inspect the goods
as received from the shipping company. A claim for damage or loss should be
reported immediately to the carrier and to Brandt.
The tension bolt subassemblies (24) and screen crown rubbers (36) ship in a separate
box, and the tension rails (8) ship unattached. These items may be located in the back
tank of the unit or under the skid. Check the bill of lading for any other separately
shipped items, including manuals and CDs.

Once it is confirmed the order has been received complete in undamaged condition,
installation of the King Cobra HS may begin.
The King Cobra HS can be lifted with a forklift or via the lifting
eyes on each corner of the unit. When using the lifting eyes, use
shackles and a spreader bar to prevent damage to the unit.

Unit preparation
Read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin. Failure to do so
may result in personal injury or damage to the unit.
1. Remove the four (4) shipping bolts and spacers (see Figure 3-1) and store in a
safe place for reuse.

shipping bolt and spacer

2. Position sump discharge gate(s) on the sides of the shakers as needed for mud
return to the sand trap or the degasser suction compartment or mud ditch.
3. Check all nuts, bolts, and fasteners on shaker.
4. Check to ensure the basket incline safety pins are properly inserted and that
they are in the same setting on both sides (see Basket angle on page 4-1).
5. Connect power (see Figure 3-2).
6. Install crown rubbers.
7. Install screens (see Figure 3-3).

Electrical connections
Carefully proceed through this list to assure proper and safe operation of the unit(s).
As with any electrical equipment, all electrical work should be performed by a qualified
electrician. (see Figure 3-2)
Follow all Lockout/Tagout procedures when making electrical
connections.

1. Determine rig voltage supplied to unit. Be sure the motor operating voltage is a
match.

2. Lockout/tagout power from the power supply cable that will be connected to
unit.
3. Install power supply cable to motor starter. (see Figure 3-2 for starter wiring
diagram.) When connecting the power leads to the top of the contactor in the
starter enclosure, the three (3) incoming power leads are connected to the three
(3) left hand connections. Do not connect an incoming power lead to the far
right hand connection.
4. Check for proper voltage (labeled on the starter enclosure) and make sure all
connections are tight. The motor junction boxes on the motors are pre-wired for
the correct voltage at the factory.
Wires in motor junction box must not be allowed to touch the inside of
the junction box. Use the foam cushions supplied with the motor to
protect the wires.

5. Remove the weight covers from one side of the vibrator motors.
6. Turn on power supply to unit.
7. Bump start the motors to check motor rotation. (To bump start the motors, push
the start button on the starter box, and then quickly push the stop button.)
8. Motors may rotate in either direction but ensure that the motors turn opposite to
each other or follow the arrows on the motors. If the motors turn in the same
direction, switch any two (2) wires on one (1) of the motors in the motor starter
box to reverse its direction.
Operation with both motors turning in the same direction will result in
very poor shaker performance.

9. Replace the motor weight covers. Bolt down the motor junction box covers and
the starter box cover.
10. Start the unit and check for proper vibration.

There should be no side-to-side motion of the basket. Check side-to-side motion by

placing a thumb and forefinger on either side of the upper basket rail. The motion of
the basket should cause the rail to slip between the thumb and fingers without
touching the fingers.

Installation
The following information provides the proper installation procedures for efficient and
safe operation. Please follow the recommendations closely. As always, adequate
working space, walkways, and handrails should be considered.
Throughout this manual, the back of the King Cobra HS is the feed
tank end, and the front is the end where the dried solids fall off. Left
and right are determined by looking at the machine from the front.

Location and support

The King Cobra HS is shipped assembled on a box type skid with an integral sump
and backtank. It is not necessary to weld the unit(s) to the support structure, as little or
no vibration is transmitted through the coil spring suspension system. The support
structure must be designed to support the shaker's dead weight of 4400 lb. (1996 kg),
plus a fluid load of 3000 lb. (1360 kg) for a total of 7400 lb. (3357 kg) per unit.
The operator needs access to both sides of the machine to change the screens. Allow
at least 24 inches (0.6 meters) of free space around the machine. Catwalks or
walkarounds around the entire machine are very important, because they will increase
the chances of proper maintenance.
Surfaces of the equipment will be slippery. Use caution when working
on or around to avoid falling.

Some other guidelines for locating and installing the shaker include:
1. The unit(s) must be level in both directions to ensure even fluid distribution.
2. Do not weld or attach discharge troughs to the vibrating deck.
3. Do not install the solids slide above the bottom of the front shaker skid cutout.

Flow line connection

The flow line should connect near the bottom and center of the backtank. This will
minimize settling of solids. Over the top connection of the flow line to the backtank is
discouraged. If necessary, the pipe must be inserted at least two-thirds (2/3) to the
bottom of the backtank to prevent solids buildup. Solids buildup in the backtank
results in an undesired reduction in the volume of the backtank and blockage of the
dump valve. The drop or slope of the flow line should be a minimum of 1:12, or one
foot (or meter) of drop for each twelve feet (or meters) of the flow line.
The preferred hookup between multiple shakers is to use Y or T connections
between the shakers. Use valves to regulate flow to each shaker. This way, one
shaker can still function while repairing or changing a screen on the other shaker. For
controlling flow, knife gate valves are preferred over butterfly valves.

Screen installation
Screen installation requires minimal time or effort. However, if you do not follow these
basic steps, the result may be poor screen life and solids may pass into the active
system.

1. Check that all screen seals and crown rubbers are in place.
2. Check that tensioning hardware is properly assembled. See Figure 3-3 for more
information.
3. Carefully lay in the new screen panel.
Do not bend the screen panel.

4. Install both draw bars (also called tension rails) and hand-tighten the tensioning
hardware. Check that the draw bar is fully seated in the screen hook.
5. Fully tighten the tensioning hardware.
To tighten the tensioning hardware:
a. Pull the screen hook strip up against the square bar welded to the right side
of the basket.
b. Center the screen on the support grid so that it covers both the leading and
trailing edge seals.
c.

Tighten the right-side tensioning nut, compressing the spring until the coils
are about 1/32 apart (the thickness of a credit card).

d. Tighten the left-side tensioning nut, compressing the spring until the coils
are about 1/32 apart.

e. Check that the screen is tightening evenly as you apply tension. No wrinkles
or ripples should be visible in the tensioned screen. Check that the screen
is drum-tight.
f.

Check that the screen remains centered over the support grid and is sealed
all the way around.

6. Check the screen tightness after 30 minutes of operation.

To check the screen tightness:
a. Check the spacing between the left-side coils. Tighten the tensioning nut as
needed.
b. Check the right-side draw bar. It should be pulled hard against the square
bar and the basket side. Tighten the draw bar as needed.

Storage
Store the King Cobra HS in a cool, dry place with the ability to test the unit for three (3)
hours once a month.

During storage
If the King Cobra HS is to be stored after receipt instead of being immediately installed
and operated the following steps should be taken to ensure that the unit does not
degrade during storage.
When stored in a cool, dry location with adequate power:
1. Keep shipping bolts on the shaker at all times while in storage, if movement is
possible. The only exception is when the shaker is tested once a month. After
the test or before shipment, replace the shipping bolts (Figure 3-1 on page 3-1).
2. Test the operation of the shaker once a month. This requires connecting power
to the shaker, removing the shipping bolts, and running the shaker for three (3)
hours.
3. Open the starter box cover and spray the components with a water displacing
solvent (for example, WD-40). Allow the solvent to dry, and then close the
starter cover tightly. Keep all other connections intact.
4. Replace the cable with a water-resistant material or short piece of cable if the
power source cable is removed from the starter box coupling. The starter box
must be sealed at all times.
When stored outside or with inadequate power:
1. Cover the shaker with a protective tarp if possible.
2. Keep shipping bolts on the shaker at all times while in storage.
3. Replace the cable with a water-resistant material or short piece of cable if the
power source cable is removed from the starter box coupling. The starter box
must be sealed at all times.
4. Remove the starter box cover and spray the components with a water
displacing solvent (for example, WD-40) once a month. Allow solvent to dry
then put the starter cover back on tightly. Keep all other connections intact.

Returning to service
Before returning the shaker to service after three (3) or more months of storage,
complete the following steps:
1. Remove motor covers and rotate shafts by hand.
2. Continue to rotate motor shaft while installing 5.7 grams (4 shots from a 400g
grease gun) of Kluber Isoflex Topas NB52 or NB152 grease into each bearing.
3. Remove shipping bolts and connect power to the machine.
4. Turn on power supply to unit.
5. Bump start the motors to check motor rotation. (To bump start the motors, push
the start button on the starter box, and then quickly push the stop button.)

6. Motors may rotate in either direction but ensure that the motors turn opposite to
each other or follow the arrows on the motors. If the motors turn in the same
direction, switch any two (2) wires on one (1) of the motors in the motor starter
box to reverse its direction.
Operation with both motors turning in the same direction will result in
very poor shaker performance.

7. Run shaker for three (3) hours and monitor motor bearing temperatures. At
startup, the motors can run very hot, but after approximately three (3) hours,
should not operate at more than 70F above ambient temperature.

General recommendations and

information

King Cobra HS

Use the same mesh screen on all four panel sections. The cut point will
normally be determined by the coarsest mesh screen. If a coarser mesh screen
is installed for any reason, it should be installed at the discharge end.

Use finer mesh screens, rather than coarse mesh screens, where gumbo or
sticky clays are encountered. Finer mesh screens provide a much smoother
and wetter surface than coarse mesh. Gumbo and clay tend to convey better on
smoother wetter surfaces and using finer screens often provides an immediate
solution to conveying problems.

Experiment with the basket angle to determine the best setting because
conveyance rates will vary with drilling rates and hole conditions.

Use the weir diverter plates in the backtank to balance the flow between two or
more shakers hooked to a common flow line. The weir diverter plates can also
be used to change the flow of the liquid onto the screen surface. Adjust the weir
plates to get a less curved horseshoe to improve overall shaker performance.

If the solids being discarded are channeling to one side of the end screen as the
shaker may be out of level. Correct this situation by shimming the corners of the
shaker skid until it is level. If the solids being discarded are channeling to both
sides of the end screen, or if the discarded solids are too wet, a 1/2 (13 mm)
wide bead of silicone applied to a clean dry screen will generally help.

Close the feed tank bypass valve during normal operation. After opening and
closing the valve, check to make sure that the valve is fully seated. Gravel or
hard cuttings may prevent the bypass valve from providing a positive seal.

Add replacement or makeup water while drilling, as required. Adding the water
to the feed tank generally reduces the mud viscosity and allows more efficient
screening.

Operate the King Cobra HS screens wet. Running with dry screens may result
in premature screen failure. Lower the deck angle or install finer mesh screens
to extend the liquid pool. The end of the pool should be on the third screen.

Do not allow substantial amounts of mud to build up inside the vibrating deck.
This may affect the units performance. A buildup of solids on or around the
motors may cause overheating.

Check basket springs for bottoming-out. Worn or weak springs may allow the
vibrating deck to fully collapse the springs under heavy mud loads. This will
cause unusual vibration patterns and damage to the unit. Replace springs in
pairs, front or rear pair, or all four springs immediately. Slow bouncing or rocking
movements on the basket may indicate spring problems.

Inspect and replace worn or missing wear strips and crown rubbers. The wear
strips provide a positive seal around the screen panel. Worn or missing seals
will result in solids bypassing into the active system. Worn crown rubbers will
reduce screen panel support causing poor conveyance and throughout.

Wash down screens before shutting down the unit or before storing the screens.

Do not walk or lay tools on the screens.

Start up & operation

The following sections provide instructions for normal operation. Before operating the
unit(s) make sure that you performed all steps in Installation on page 3-3. The unit is
factory set to provide a G-force suitable for most drilling applications. Once the unit
has been installed, the only changes or adjustments that should be made are screen
mesh and basket angle. Screen selection will depend upon your specified drilling
parameters, such as circulating volume, mud viscosity, penetration rate, etc.
Screen selection is discussed in General recommendations and
information on page 3-7.

Basket angle
The pivoting system is used to change the angle of the screening surfaces relative to
the neutral position. The angle adjustment plates and the red safety pins are used to
hold the shaker at the desired angle (see Figure 4-1).

King Cobra HS

Operation

M14355

R0

To change the basket angle:

1. Remove the red safety pins from the angle adjustment plates.
Be sure to remove the pins from both sides.

2. Use the hand wheels on both sides of the King Cobra HS to adjust the basket
angle.
3. Adjust both sides to the same angle.
4. Replace the red safety pins when the desired screen angle has been reached.
Make sure that the pins are in the same hole on both sides of the shaker.
5. Tighten both hand wheels.
For normal drilling conditions the unit should be operated with the basket tilted
between 2 degrees uphill and 2 degrees downhill so that the end of the liquid pool is
near the discharge end of the third screen. Additional uphill incline can be used to
handle an increase surge from bottoms up or an increased rate of penetration.
Increasing the basket angle will move the end of the liquid pool towards the back of
the basket and allow the shaker to handle higher flow rates and/or produce drier
cuttings. The disadvantage of running the basket steeply uphill is the reduced
conveyance and a thicker solids bed. A thicker solids bed causes solids to be ground
into smaller pieces, wears out screens faster, and may increase the amount of fine
solids returned to the active mud system.

Cuttings are generally dry enough for most applications when the end
of the liquid pool is near the end of the third screen.

When gumbo or sticky clays are encountered it may be necessary to lower the basket
angle to get the solids to convey properly. Although some baskets can be lowered to
as much as 5 degrees downhill, running the shaker at a lower angle than necessary
will require use of coarser screens to prevent excess drilling fluid loss.

Screen blinding
If the screens openings plug (blind) with sand, there are several methods by which
the screen may be unplugged. If the screens are in the unit, rub the screens in a
circular motion with a cloth rag or cloth gloves. Or, with the screen removed, you may
try blowing out the solids with high-pressure air or water from the bottom.
Never use a wire or stiff fiber brush on the screens.

Changing to a finer mesh screen may cause the near size sand that is blinding the
screens to be removed and discarded. Changing to a larger mesh screen may solve
the blinding problem, but will increase the amount of solids returned to the active
system.
Often it is necessary to experiment with several mesh sizes to
minimize blinding while drilling through unconsolidated sand
formations. As a general rule, try finer screens first.

Salt-water muds will sometimes cause calcium deposits to coat the wires in the
screen. As the layer of calcium increases in thickness around the wires, the openings
become plugged off. This usually results in flooding. Steam cleaning will usually
remove the calcium deposits.

Maintenance
The King Cobra HS separator requires very little maintenance. However, there are
several maintenance checks that, if done on a regular basis, will provide extended
service and performance.

Lubrication
Motor
Lubricate each bearing on the motors once every operating month (750 hours) per the
following instructions. Use only Kluber Isoflex Topas NB52 grease (P/N 46AS) for
operation in cold ambient temperatures of -20F to +50F. You may use either NB52
or NB152 for ambient temperatures of 50 to 100. For hot ambient temperatures
above 100 you must use Isoflex Topas NB152 grease (P/N 46AY).
Using any grease other than Isoflex Topas will void the motor
warranty.
Do not mix Isoflex grease with any other grease.

1. Clean vibrator case around grease plug with a clean shop towel.
2. Remove grease plug from vibrator housing.
3. Install 1/8 NPT grease fitting (P/N 33B) into the vibrator housing. Always use a
new grease fitting. Even small amounts of another grease may cause a
negative reaction with the Isoflex grease.
4. Install 5.7 grams of grease with a grease gun into each grease fitting. 5.7 grams
equals 4 shots from a 400g grease gun.
5. Replace the grease fitting with the grease plug.
Do not leave the grease fitting(s) in the vibrator housing.

6. Do not lubricate for another operating month. Too much grease will ruin the
motor and void the warranty.
If motor has been running and not been lubricated for more than three (3) months, put
twenty (20) shots in each bearing and then four (4) additional shots each month per
the above instructions.

Basket angle and bypass adjustment wheels

Grease threads once per week with any lithium or lithium complex grease.

Maintenance Checks
Component

Tasks

Bypass valve

Check after opening and closing for a positive

seal.
Gravel or hard cuttings lodged in the valve seat
area may prevent a positive seal and mud
bypassing will occur.

Basket angle indicating safety

pins

Pins should be inserted in proper holes on each

side to provide a level deck. Tighten the
handwheels against the pins to prevent rattling.

Skid compartment

Clean out any solids buildup that may cause the

vibrating deck to bottom out or interfere with
screening.

Screens

Check for torn screens. Repair or replace if

necessary.

Screen cushions & seals

Check crown rubbers and flat seals for damage or

wear. Replace as needed.

Nuts, bolts, fasteners

Ensure all nuts, bolts, and lock washers are in

place and tight, particularly on the motors and the
motor mount beam clamps.

General operation

Listen for any loud or unusual noise particularly

bearing squeal or any metal-to-metal contact. The
basket should run quietly.

2. Disconnect electrical wiring from the motor to be replaced.

3. Use a sling or cable through the motor lifting eyes to support the weight of the
motor before the mounting nuts or bolts are loosened.
4. Remove the six (6) motor mount bolts and heavy washers.
If your bolt configuration does not match the design in Figure 6-1,
see "Alternate bolt configurations" on page 7/+18.

5. Remove the motor from the motor mount plate.

6. Clean threads with a bottoming tap and remove all rust from the mounting plate.
7. Note the location of the motor junction box cable through hole before picking up
the replacement motor. Mount the motor on the motor mount plate, bottom
motor hole up; top motor hole down.

8. Use new bolts provided and existing thick washers to attach the new motor.
Coat threads on new bolts with Loctite Product 243. Torque corners bolts first,
to 275 foot pounds.
Never re-use old bolts.

9. Reconnect the electrical wiring to the motor.

10. Remove both weight covers from both motors. Check that all counterweights
are marked the same (Ex: 60Hz, 90 Hz)
11. Bump start the motors to check motor rotation. (To bump start the motors, push
the start button on the starter box, and then quickly push the stop button.)
12. Motors may rotate in either direction but ensure that the motors turn opposite to
each other or follow the arrows on the motors. If the motors turn in the same
direction, switch any two (2) wires on one (1) of the motors in the motor starter
box to reverse its direction.
Operation with both motors turning in the same direction will result in
very poor shaker performance.

13. Reinstall the motor weight covers.

14. Return the shaker to service.
15. After 30 minutes of operation, retorque the motor mounting bolts.

Replacing seal strips

To replace long wear strips:
1. Remove the old seal by cutting the christmas tree clips.
2. New seals should be formed prior to installation. When received from the
factory, they will be straight, but should be bent upward at each hole.
3. Install christmas tree clips in the new seal from the center outwards, alternating
from side to side. Do not hammer tight.
4. After all clips are started, hammer them tight.
To replace side wear strips:
1. Remove the old fasteners with a screwdriver and back-up wrench and remove
the seal.
2. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly.
3. Insert the new side wear strips with new fasteners.
4. Proper installation of the screens is now possible.

2. Wash down the screens while the shaker is running.
3. Shut down shaker.
4. Loosen the tensioning nut to release the draw bar on each side of the screen.
5. Remove the draw bars (also called tension rails). To do this, turn the tension
bolt 90 and pull it through the draw bar.
6. Remove the screen panel.
7. Replace worn or missing screen seals. Screen seals may be replaced as
needed but crown rubbers must be replaced in sets. Replacing individual crown
rubbers creates uneven support for the screen.
8. Replace all worn tensioning hardware. Look for bad threads, bent bolts,
collapsed springs, and leaking seals. See Figure 6-2 for more information.

9. Carefully lay in the new screen panel.

Do not bend the screen panel.

10. Install both draw bars (tension rails) and hand-tighten the tensioning hardware.
Check that the draw bar is fully seated in the screen hook.
11. Fully tighten the tensioning hardware.
To tighten the tensioning hardware:
a. Pull the screen hook strip up against the square bar welded to the right side
of the basket.
b. Center the screen on the support grid so that it covers both the leading and
trailing edge seals.
c.

Tighten the right-side tensioning nut, compressing the spring until the coils
are about 1/32 apart (the thickness of a credit card).

d. Tighten the left-side tensioning nut, compressing the spring until the coils
are about 1/32 apart.
e. Check that the screen is tightening evenly as you apply tension. No wrinkles
or ripples should be visible in the tensioned screen. Check that the screen
is drum-tight.
f.

Check that the screen remains centered over the support grid and is sealed
all the way around.

12. Check the screen tightness after 30 minutes of operation.

To check the screen tightness:
a. Check the spacing between the left-side coils. Tighten the tensioning nut as
needed.
b. Check the right-side draw bar. It should be pulled hard against the square
bar and the basket side. Tighten the draw bar as needed.

Repairing or patching screens

You can extend the life of your shaker screens and save money by patching torn
panels.
To repair a screen using silicone, epoxy, or liquid steel:
1. Stop flow to shaker basket with torn screen using bypass valve or shut-off valve.
2. Wash screens.
3. Turn off shaker.
4. Dry off screen as much as possible. Backing cloth must not be torn.
