Mud Agitator With Large Torque With ATEX Certification Helical Bevel

Brief of drilling mud agitator

A drilling fluids agitator is used in surface mud systems to suspend solids and maintain a homogeneous mixture throughout the system. A mechanical agitator is driven by an explosion-proof motor, coupled to a gearbox that drives the impeller shaft. The impellers (turbines) transform mechanical power into fluid circulation or agitation. The objective is to obtain a uniform suspension of all solids

Aipu APMA mud agitator is available in horizontal and vertical types. The shaft and impeller can be carbon steel or stainless steel type. Per different tank sizes and materials to be mixed, we'll design agitators with different motors and shaft sizes. The mud agitator will be mounted on the mud tank. Almost every compartment will request an agitator as a mixer to keep drilling fluid solids suspension. Except for the shaker tank, as there is a trap compartment.

China Ex, IECEX, and ATEX certified electrical for option

Solids control mud agitators are the mud mixers on Mud Tank. Including the horizontal and vertical types. That is meant by motor mounting direction. Nowadays, more and more users prefer the helical bevel geared agitator. Why? The helical bevel gear box will be more stable and reliable than the helical worm and wheel gearbox.

A mechanical agitator is driven by an explosion-proof motor coupled to a gearbox that drives the impeller & shaft. The impellers transform mechanical power into fluid circulation or agitation. The objective is to achieve a uniform suspension of all solids.

Specifications for your reference. And some configuration is customizable

Oilfield drilling mud agitator technical specification

• Flame-proof electrical motor with ExdIIbT4 or higher standard, IP 56 or higher protection level, Zone 1, 4 poles motor.

• Worm or bevel gear options for open selection. The worm gear is cost effective but the larger footprint and the bevel gear is a small footprint, high working effectiveness, and higher price.

• Couper connected between electrical and gear for protection to pass motor rotation speed to the gearbox which will drive shaft.

• Shaft installed on gearbox for 1000mm to 2800mm depending on tank height. A stabilizer was installed to help the shaft work steadily.

• Single layer or double later impeller installed on the shaft to reach agitating performance.

Oilfield drilling mud agitator options

Horizontal worm gear type agitator, this is the most popular agitator used in oil and gas mud tanks because it’s cost effective. There are coupler options for agitator to protect gear or options without a coupler for saving cost.

A horizontal bevel gear type agitator is a very good option for larger torque and minimum footprint. The bevel gear is much higher in torque compared to the worm gear. Better performance, higher cost vertical agitator, this is well used for vertical tanks with a small footprint but higher height.

How to select or size mud agitator

1. Tank size: Mud tank size or dimension.
2. Type: Vertical type or horizontal type.
3. Torque level: Large torque for heavy mud or not.
4. Professional consultation: Come to the supplier for a professional solution

Application of oilfield drilling mud agitator

A mud agitator is used for mixing drilling fluid to prevent solid particles of drilling fluid from depositing in its tank circulation system so that the performance of circulating drilling fluid is stable and mixed evenly.

Mud Agitator Features

• Agitator principle standard impeller type: Axial flow impeller 45° The impeller will make a predominantly axial fluid movement and bottom solids be pressed upwards.
• Optional impeller type: Radial flow impeller. The impeller will make a predominantly horizontal movement.
• Standard gearbox type: worm gear. Bevel gear can be supplied for better performance, minimum footprint and higher cost.
• Agitator mounting type: Horizontal, vertically mounted agitator for option.
• Connection: motor and gearbox connected with each other by coupler for motor & gear protection.
• Shaft and impeller material: Carbon steel. Stainless steel material for option.
• Electrical standard: Explosion proof and Non-explosion proof both can be supplied with different cost rates.
