Introduction
The role of a King Cobra Plus separator
The standard Brandt King Cobra Plus separator is a fine screen shaker with a motor/
starter option for either linear or balanced elliptical motion. The separator is almost
always located at the flow line unless it is preceded by a scalping or gumbo
separator. The King Cobra Plus separator 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 Plus 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 Plus separator works

The three features key to the operation of the King Cobra Plus separator are the
basket and angle adjustment system, the vibrator system, and the screen locking
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 Plus basket and pivot system

The baskets patented screen configuration is a major advance over previously
available separators. During normal operation, with the basket in the neutral position,
the first screen is evenly flooded with 1 to 2 in (25 to 51 mm) 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 Plus separator 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 Plus separator is flooded more
evenly and shallowly, a slow-moving solids bed does not form, thus increasing screen
life and optimizing shaker performance.

The design of the King Cobra Plus 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 the end
of the third screen and onto the fourth screen. Fluid on the fourth screen flows back to
the baffle plate 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 Plus separator under upset operating conditions
The King Cobra Plus separator has a basket angle adjustment system that allows the
basket to be tilted uphill by as much as 2 and downhill by as much as 3. During
unusually heavy flow conditions the basket can be pivoted uphill to increase the depth
of the pool. This deeper pool allows 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 do 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.
You may find that switching from linear motion to balanced elliptical motion results in
improved conveyance of sticky clays and gumbo.

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 either a net linear or a net elliptical shaking force on the
basket. This shaking force is directed through the center of mass of the basket,
resulting in equal motion along the entire length of the 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 baskets vibratory motion relative to a line perpendicular to the screen
surface is called the angle of attack (conveyance angle). The angle of the baskets
motion relative to a line parallel to the screen surface is called the conductance angle.
The King Cobra Plus separator uses a 40 conveyance angle and a 50 conductance
angle. See Figure 2-4 for a diagram of these angles.

Hammerwedge system
The King Cobra Plus separator is equipped with the Hammerwedge system, a
simple screen hold-down mechanism. Tighten the Hammerwedge by using a hammer
or by prying the wedge into place (see Figure 2-5). The Hammerwedges mounted,
pre-tensioned screens eliminate the need for a screen-tensioning system.

Inspection
Prior to setting up and operating a new King Cobra Plus 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 NOV. Eight Hammerwedges, 24
screen crown rubbers and the wedge tool ship in a separate box located in the back
tank of the unit. Also, check the bill of lading for any separately shipped items,
including manuals and CDs.
Once you confirm that the order has been received complete in undamaged condition,
installation of the King Cobra Plus separator may begin.
The King Cobra Plus separator 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 shipping bolts and spacers (see Figure 3-1) and store in a safe
place for reuse.
shipping bolt and spacer
Figure 3-1. King Cobra Plus shipping bolt and spacer
2. Remove the rocker arm shipping pins located near the back of the basket (see
Figure 3-2).
3. 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.
4. Check all nuts, bolts, and fasteners on shaker.
5. Connect power (see Figure 3-3 on page 3-3).
6. Install crown rubbers.
7. Install screens (see Figure 3-4 on page 3-6).

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 3-3).
Follow all Lockout/Tagout procedures when making electrical
connections.
1. Determine the rig voltage supplied to the unit. Ensure that the motor operating
voltage matches.
2. Lockout/tagout power from the power supply cable that will be connected to
the unit.
3. Install power supply cable to motor starter (see Figure 3-3 for the starter wiring
diagram). Connect power to the starter by connecting the incoming power to L1,
L2 and L3 of the contactor. Connect the incoming ground to a grounding post
inside the enclosure.
Wires in the 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.
4. Remove the weight covers from one side of the vibrator motors.
5. Turn on power supply to unit.
6. Check the motor rotation direction of the King Cobra Plus separator as follows:
a. Turn the motion selector switch to Elliptical.
b.
3-2
Bump start the motors by pushing the Start button on the starter box and
quickly pushing the Stop button. Make sure both weights follow the rotation
arrows and the top motor is rotating toward the front (discharge) end of the
shaker. If so, go to Step 7.

Figure 3-3. King Cobra Plus wiring diagram
c.
If both motors are rotating incorrectly, switch the positions of any two of the
wires L1, L2 and L3. Bump start the motors again to confirm correct rotation
direction and go to Step 7.
d. If one motor is rotating correctly and the other motor is rotating incorrectly,
switch the positions of any two of the wires T1, T2 or T3 at the overload
relay for the motor with the incorrect rotation. Bump start the motors again
to confirm correct rotation direction.
Operation with both motors turning in the same direction results in
very poor shaker performance.
7. Replace the motor weight covers. Bolt down the motor junction box covers and
the starter box cover.
8. Start the unit and check for proper vibration.
There should not be any 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 Plus separator
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 Plus separator 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 shakers dead weight
of 5300 lb (2404 kg), plus a fluid load of 500 lb (227 kg) for a total of 5800 lb (2631 kg)
per unit.
The operator needs access to both sides of the machine to change the screens. Allow
at least 24 in (0.6 m) of free space around the machine. Catwalks or walkarounds
around the entire machine are very important, because they increase the chances of
proper maintenance.
Surfaces of the equipment are 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 can connect to the rear, sides(s), or over the top of the backtank. The
drop or slope of the flow line should be a minimum of 1:12, or 1 ft (0.3 m) of drop for
each 12 ft (3.7 m) of the flow line.
The preferred hookup between multiple shakers is to use Y or T connections
between the shakers. For controlling flow, knife gate valves are preferred over butterfly
valves. Brandt NOV also offers link sections to hook up multiple King Cobra Plus
shaker. Backtanks have adjustable gates to regulate flow to each shaker. This way,
one shaker can still function while repairing or changing a screen on the other shaker.

Basket angle adjustment installation

You must connect an air supply of at least 60 psi to the air filter/regulator. Adjust the
regulator on the shaker to 60 psi, which should be sufficient for most operations. If you
encounter extreme loading during operation and the basket fails to lift as desired, you
may increase the air pressure at the regulator to a maximum of 100 psi.
Ensure that all air fittings are tight and do not leak. Check for leaks by spraying water
or WD-40 on the fittings and looking for air bubbles. Leaks cause the basket to drift
toward a fully uphill angle after you have set the desired position. A shaker without air
leaks should hold its desired position without adjustment for several days.
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 bypassing into the active
system.
1. If mud is circulating, open the backtank bypass valve or divert mud to the other
shaker.
2. Wash down the screens while the shaker is running.
3. Shut down the shaker.
4. Remove the Hammerwedge on each side of the basket for the screen being
removed. Each pre-tensioned screen on the King Cobra Plus separator may be
removed individually without removing the others.
5. Place Hammerwedges outside the basket in a safe place so they can not fall
into the sump of the separator or into the mud tanks.
6. Remove the screen panel.
Wash down the screen support area prior to installing a new screen.
7. Replace worn or missing screen seals, screen supports, and crown rubbers.
Screen seals must be replaced in pairs and crown rubbers in sets.
Do not operate the machine without all screen seals and crown
rubbers in place. See Replacing seal strips and crown rubbers on
page 6-5.
8. Carefully lay in the new pre-tensioned screen panel.

9. Install Hammerwedges in designated slots on each side of the basket.

10. Check to see that the screen is straight across the basket and is engaging the
retainer pins.
If your screens do not have holes to accommodate the retainer pins,
contact your Brandt NOV representative for assistance in retrofitting
your screens. To locate the Brandt NOV office nearest you, see
Worldwide Locations in section 8.
11. Tighten Hammerwedges using a hammer or pry bar.

12. Check that Hammerwedges are tightly secured.
13. See Figure 3-4 for the correct screen installation.

Storage
Store the King Cobra Plus separator in a cool, dry place with the ability to test the unit
for three hours once a month.
During storage
If the King Cobra Plus separator 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 (see 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
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 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. Check the motor rotation direction of the King Cobra Plus separator as follows:

3-8
Use the same mesh screen on all four panel sections. The cut point is normally
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 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, 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 in (13 mm)
wide bead of silicone applied to a clean dry screen generally helps.
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 Plus 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 causes
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
result in solids bypassing into the active system. Worn crown rubbers reduce
screen panel support, causing poor conveyance throughout.
Wash down screens before shutting down the unit for any length of time or
before storing the screens.
Do not walk on or lay tools on the screens.

Start up and 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 3-4. 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 depends 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 3-8.
Basket angle
The pivoting system is used to change the angle of the screening surfaces relative to
the neutral position (see Figure 4-1).
Figure 4-1. Angle adjustment system
It is not necessary to shut down the shaker before changing the basket angle.
To change the basket angle, press and hold either the Up or Down buttons until the
basket is at the desired position. There may be some temporary bouncing after
moving the basket, but this is normal and does not affect shaker performance.
For normal drilling conditions the unit should be operated with the basket tilted
between 2 uphill and 2 downhill so the end of the liquid pool is near the discharge
end of the third screen. Increasing the basket angle moves the end of the liquid pool
toward the back of the basket, and allows 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 3 downhill, running the shaker at a lower angle than necessary requires
use of coarser screens to prevent excess drilling fluid loss.
To move the basket to the maximum downhill position, press and hold the Down
button until the rocker arm firmly contacts the bumper. A rocker arm that only lightly
touches the bumper may experience higher than normal vibrations, which does not
affect shaker performance but does increase the noise level.
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 increases 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 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 usually removes the
calcium deposits.

Maintenance
The King Cobra Plus separator requires very little maintenance. However, there are
several maintenance checks that, if done on a regular basis, 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 (-29C to +10C). You may
use either NB52 or NB152 for ambient temperatures of 50F to 100F (10C to 38C).
For hot ambient temperatures above 100F (38C), you must use Isoflex Topas NB152
grease (P/N 46AY).
Using any grease other than Kluber 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 (0.2 oz) of grease with a grease gun into each grease fitting.
5.7 grams equals 4 shots from a 400 g 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 has not been lubricated for more than three months,
put 20 shots in each bearing and then four additional shots each month per the above
instructions.

Maintenance Checks
Component
Tasks
Hammerwedge(s)
Check to make sure all eight are in good condition.
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 allow mud
bypassing.
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 and 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.

12. Reinstall the motor weight covers.

13. Return the shaker to service.
14. After 30 minutes of operation, retorque the motor mounting bolts.
Replacing seal strips and crown rubbers

To replace long wear strips
1. Remove the old fasteners with a screwdriver and back-up wrench and remove
the seal.
2. New seals should be formed prior to installation. When received from the
factory, they are straight, but should be bent upward at each bolt hole.
3. Tighten the seal from the center outwards, alternating from side to side.
Over-tightening the seal causes deformation and forms a gap between the
frame and the seal, which can lead to screw installation problems or may cause
leakage.
To replace crown rubbers
1. Remove the crown rubbers.
2. Clean the metal support thoroughly.
3. Replace with new crown rubbers.
