20Hp Horizontal Mud Agitator Used In Drilling Mud System

APMA mud agitator information

Aipu APMA mud agitator is 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.
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.
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. Worm gear is cost effective but larger footprint and bevel gear is small foot print, high working effective and higher price.
• Couper connected between electrical and gear for protection to pass motor rotation speed to gear box which will drive shaft.
• Shaft installed on gear box for 1000mm to 2800mm depending on tank height. A stabilizer installed to help shaft working steadily.
• Single layer or double later impeller installed on 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 tank because it’s cost effective. There is coupler options for agitator to protect gear or options without coupler for saving cost.

Horizontal bevel gear type agitator, this is a very good option for larger torque and minimum footprint. The bevel gear is much higher torque compares worm gear. Better performance, higher costVertical agitator, this is well used for vertical tank with 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 supplier for professional solution

Application of oilfied drilling mud agitator

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.

Result of oilfield drilling mud agitator

The stirring strength is large, the sweep range is wide, and the starting resistance moment is reduced.

Oilfield drilling mud agitator is a very important to mix mud inside of tank to avoid solids build up in tank corner. There are different types of agitator depending on motor installation type, gear box type and jobsite footprint space. There is worm gear, bevel gear, horizontal installation and vertical installation for options. The agitators will be required for all mud storage tank, 24 hours working is essential because solids built in tank will be very hard to remove if without agitator. It is very important to keep the mud active in tank and able to pump to anywhere as per jobsite requirement.
 

APMA series mud Agitator with worm gearbox is one of the most popular solids control equipment, due to low cost and durable performance. If you have any interest, contact us freely. You'll get optimal solution
