Horizontal Worm Geared Mud Tank Agitator Explosion Proof With Double Impeller

Horizontal Worm Geared Mud Agitator With Double Impeller For Mud Tank

Introduction of mud agitator

Aipu drilling mud agitators used in solids control system are available at horizontal and vertical type. The shaft and impeller can be carbon steel or stainless steel type. Per different tank size and material to be mixed, we'll design agitator with different motors and shaft size. Mud agitator will be mounted on mud tank. Almost every compartment will request agitator as a mixer to keep drilling fluid solids suspension. Except shaker tank, as there is trap compartment.

A mechanical mud 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.

Solids control mud agitators are the mud mixers on Mud Tank. Including the horizontal and vertical type. 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.

Technical Parameters

Electrical Standard for Mud Agitator

Explosion proof agitator is required for oil & gas drilling site, coal seam bethane drilling or mining. The Ex standard is different depending on different countries regulation and drilling site. Non explosion proof agitator is good for other drilling site like horizontal directional drilling, water well drilling, micro tunneling, pilling, etc. Ex standard is a customized part will be done as per buyer’s request.

Mud Agitator Direction

The agitator direction is not very strict because both direction is workable, the right direction is good agitating performance but heavier load and wrong direction will reduced load and agitating performance is not that good. The right direction is to press the mud downwards instead of upwards. While the mud goes down wards, the settled solids will be flushed up to keep a good agitating performance.

Is there any other configuration on the agitator type or drive system?

Yes. Some clients prefer the hydraulic drive for some specific use. Some clients prefer the stainless steel shaft and impeller. Different application and industry will request equipment much different If you have question or demand on mud mixers, please let us know and we'll help you to get the ideal solution

Moreover, the APMA series agitator is flexible on gearbox and motor configuration. Such as worm and worm wheel reducer, helical bevel reducer. The motor certified by IEC, ATEX, and so on
