A King Cobra screen replacement is compatible only when its frame, dimensions, fastening or tensioning arrangement, and screening specification match the shaker and the job. Do not order by the “King Cobra” name or mesh count alone: equipment configurations and screen designs can vary. Start by recording the shaker’s exact model, the old screen’s part or supplier reference, its frame style, and its measured dimensions. If “screen protector” refers to a separate protective accessory rather than a complete shaker screen, identify that component before requesting a quote.

This guide is for drilling contractors, solids-control teams, maintenance personnel, and procurement buyers sourcing King Cobra-compatible replacement screens. It is also useful when replacing screens from an existing supplier or checking whether a proposed alternative is suitable. The guidance focuses on the information needed to confirm fit and screening requirements; it does not replace the shaker manufacturer’s operating instructions.
Physical compatibility means the replacement can be installed and retained correctly on the intended shaker. That requires matching the relevant screen dimensions and construction, including the frame profile and the way the screen is secured or tensioned. A screen may appear close in size and still be unsuitable if its edges, supports, or retention features differ.
Screening compatibility concerns the separation objective and the operating conditions. Mesh designation, wire material, layer construction, and open area can affect how the screen handles solids and fluid, but those properties do not confirm that the panel will fit. Treat fit and screening performance as two separate approval steps.
In purchasing conversations, “screen protector” may be used loosely to describe a replacement shaker screen, a protective layer, or another screen-related component. Ask the requester to share a photo and identify whether the requirement is for the complete screen assembly or an accessory. This small clarification helps prevent a quote for the wrong product category.
Shaker screens are supplied in different frame and screening constructions. Depending on the equipment design and supplier range, a buyer may encounter framed panels, composite or metal frame options, and single- or multi-layer wire cloth. Material and construction should be confirmed against the actual screen design rather than assumed from the equipment name.
Mesh count is only one part of a specification. A 100-mesh designation generally describes a count of 100 openings per linear inch, but the resulting opening size also depends on wire diameter. For conversion, 1 inch equals 25.4 mm; this conversion does not establish the correct panel dimensions or prove compatibility.
When a process requires a specific separation, provide the requested aperture or screening target in the unit used by your technical team, such as micrometers (µm). For example, a request for a 150 µm aperture is an illustrative screening target, not a King Cobra screen specification or a guarantee of fit. Confirm the supplier’s interpretation of aperture, mesh, and construction before approving production.
Record the exact shaker model and, where available, its serial or equipment identification details. Check the old screen’s label, purchase record, drawing, or supplier part number. If the reference cannot be found, send clear photos of the full panel, its edges, and any labels or retention features.
Measure the panel length, width, and relevant frame depth in millimeters, and note where each measurement was taken. Compare measurements with a drawing or a known-good screen when possible, because damaged or distorted panels may not represent the original dimensions. Ask the supplier to confirm which measurement points their drawing uses before treating two panels as equivalent.

Describe how the screen sits on the shaker and how it is held in position. Note visible hooks, edges, supports, seals, or tensioning features, and provide photos from more than one angle. The supplier should confirm the frame and retention arrangement against the target shaker configuration rather than relying on a visual resemblance alone.
State the required mesh or aperture, wire material if specified, and any layer or construction requirements from your operating team. Include the drilling-fluid or solids-control context when it affects the selection, but do not substitute a general application description for a defined screening target. If you are changing from the existing specification, explain the reason and have the change reviewed by the responsible technical team.
Ask the supplier to confirm the equipment application, panel dimensions, frame design, screening specification, and any assumptions in writing. Review the drawing or specification sheet against your records before approving the order. Where fit is uncertain, discuss whether a sample, trial, or additional measurement is appropriate and agree who will evaluate it.
| Check | Information to provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment | Exact shaker model and available identification details | Helps narrow the compatibility review |
| Panel fit | Length, width, frame depth, photos, and drawing if available | Supports comparison of physical fit and retention |
| Screening | Mesh or aperture target, wire material, and construction | Connects the screen specification to the process requirement |
| Order planning | Quantity, destination, required delivery window, and packaging needs | Allows the supplier to quote relevant commercial details |
Replacement-screen pricing can depend on dimensions, frame construction, wire material, screening specification, order quantity, packaging, and destination. Minimum order quantities and lead times vary by supplier, product configuration, and current production schedule, so they should be confirmed in the quotation rather than assumed from a previous purchase. For urgent requirements, provide the needed delivery date and shipping destination at the inquiry stage.
When comparing quotations, check that each supplier has priced the same specification. A lower price is not a useful comparison if the mesh, frame, materials, or included services differ. Request a clear breakdown of the quoted configuration, MOQ, production lead time, shipping terms, and any sample or inspection arrangements that apply.
Ask whether the supplier can review photos, measurements, drawings, and an existing part reference before confirming compatibility. Check that the quotation identifies the screen construction and screening specification, not just the equipment family. For customized or less common requirements, confirm what technical information is needed, whether a drawing can be reviewed, and how changes are documented.
Yuanpeng supplies wire-mesh products and can review a King Cobra screen inquiry using the equipment details, screen measurements, photos, and process specification you provide. We can discuss the requested construction and commercial requirements, then clarify any information still needed before quotation. Compatibility should be confirmed against the actual machine configuration and agreed product specification.
A reliable King Cobra screen replacement decision requires both a physical-fit check and a screening-specification check. Gather the shaker identification, screen dimensions, frame and retention details, screening target, quantity, and delivery destination before requesting a quote. Do not treat mesh count or a product name as proof of interchangeability.
To move forward, send Yuanpeng your existing screen reference, clear photos, measurements in millimeters, and required mesh or aperture specification. We can review the information, identify any gaps, and discuss a quotation based on the confirmed requirements. If you are unsure whether you need a complete screen or a separate protector, state that clearly and include a photo so the product scope can be resolved first.
