Drilling fluid agitators are the important auxiliary equipment used in drilling mud system. For all fluids process system in oil and gas, in HDD, in TBM, in the CBM, slurry separation and so on
Drilling fluid agitators summary
It is mainly used to mix or agitate drilling fluid and maintain the prosperity of material in tank. Keep the necessary solids suspending for better process result
Drilling fluid agitators
There are different types of mud agitators. According to the installation way, there are horizontal and vertical type; according to the gear box, there are worm and worm wheel geared and helical bevel geared; according to the connection way, there are direct connection type and the coupled type; according to motor power, there are wide range of types with 0.5kw, 1kw, 1.5kw, 5.5kw, 7.5kw, 11kw, 15kw, 18.5kw, 22kw, and so on
How to install the mud agitators
If we install mud agitators on mud tank, the basic condition is 3 meters per set. Before installing agitator the equipment had been selected according to tank size (height and width). So we just need to install them as the engineer requested
drilling mud agitators
Some agitators supplied without mounting plate, while some are with. This configuration is defined by users' requirement. If there is mounting base, the agitators are easy to fix on mud tank top. Usually, when we replace existing used agitators, we'll suggest such design for easy placing.
Mud agitators available at AIPU
Aipu mud agitators are APMA series. They can be designed with explosion proof motor or common motor. They can be lateral type or vertical type. They can be helical worm and wheel geared or helical bevel geared.
The popular models are APMA7.5, and APMA11. Compared with helical bevel geared agitator, the helical worm and wheel type are more popular since the lower cost.
However, we kindly suggest the helical bevel geared. It requests less power and produce higher torque. Working performance and reliability is much better.
Please feel free to contact Aipu for any drilling fluid agitators. They can be used in drilling mud process, the oil sludge treatment, the slurry separation and so on.
