mud agitator sizing quotation

For contour impeller applications, values must be significantly faster (i.e., smaller numbers) to achieve the same results, but because of the impeller design, air entrainment is less probable. In symmetrical compartments, the fluid has a nearly equal distance to travel from the center of the impeller shaft or from the impeller blade tip before it contacts the vessel wall. Agitators should be placed where the shaft is centered in the tank or compartment.

Fluid Systems uses an impeller to mix and suspend the solids using both axial and radial flows, and by utilizing low shear mixers to suspend and mix mud additives particle size degradation and polymer shear. Unlike centrifugal pumps or mud guns. The FSI Agitator is relatively low shear and low energy device, so it’s easy to operate and inexpensive to maintain.

Fluid Systems mud agitators are designed to mix and suspend the solids using axial flow, promoting low particle size degradation and effective polymer shear. Unlike mud guns, the FSI mud agitator is relatively a low energy device, easy to operate and inexpensive to maintain. Our standard horizontal and vertical mud agitators range in 5 to 30 horsepower with an explosion proof motor and gear reducer. We size mud agitators according to the configuration and maximum mud weight.

The direct-drive shaft assembly featured on our agitators maximizes motor efficiency which results in reduced energy consumption and greater performance. Available in vertical or horizontal configurations, all of our agitators are completely customizable and or to meet your specific tank dimensions and mud weight range.

Generally, there are different versions or models of mud agitators that are being offered to fulfill various customers’ needs more effectively. However, here are some of the most amazing features of these mud agitators’ range that you must know:

However, the impeller speed of these mud agitators is 60/72RPM. While, on the other hand, the shaft length of the mud agitator will depend on the size of the mud tank completely.

Excellent capacity, longer service life, and high-quality materials along with sturdy construction are making these mud agitators highly durable and reliable.

The entire range of these mud agitators is highly demanding. It is mainly because of the state of art technology and quality of basic materials that is used in these. The fabrication used on these mud agitators makes this high corrosion resistant and can help you to enjoy a longer service life of mud agitators with ease.

Do you want to know what makes these mud agitators most amazing? Let’s have a look at the key benefits below to get a better idea about the things in this regard:

A Mud Agitator is equipment that is used for a specific purpose – the mixing and agitation of mud. While doing so, it prevents the settlement of the solid phase particles in the tank, which is crucial for the recycling process. The Mud Agitator is basically a speed reducer that is combined with an explosion-proof motor. The motor is horizontally placed for a convenient installation. These elements of the Mud Agitator are basically what makes everything tick. Also, they are robust and easy to maintain, allowing the Mud Agitator to be used in harsh conditions.

The impellers in the Mud Agitator are responsible for ‘taking in’ the drilling fluid. There are single-layer and double-layer options that one can go for. A centering guide is also added if the tank depth increases to handle mixing and agitation of a high quantity of drilling fluid. This equipment also has a worm wheel and worm gear reducer drive for smooth and reliable operation. The mug agitator comes with a speed reducer and you can use it as per your needs.

APMA series Mud agitator is combination of gear box and motor. It"s important to drilling mud process and fit on mud tanks as 3 meters per set. Except the shaker tank/compartment every tank and compartment will be fit with mud agitator. Mud agiators help to maintain mud property and keep the solids suspend for necessary mud propery and further mud process. Almost of agitator for drilling fluids system are horizontal design. On mud tanks, the separated control panel for each agitator is a good design.

Mud tank size defines agitator number and model, besides, mud property will affect agitators selection. For example, usually we put one set agitator per 3 meters on tank. According to tank width and height, the agitator can be APMA7.5, or APMA15. And if the tanks are same size, then we"ll consider the mud property. Such as mud gravity is 1.8sg we may need 7.5kw, while mud gravity is 2.4sg, we may need APMA15 driven by 20hp motor. Agitator speed defined by motor and gear box. For example, if we use APMA7.5 agitator, the motor is 10hp and speed is 1450rpm. The gear box reduce ratio is 25:1, then the agitator shaft/impller speed is 58rpm. If we use 10hp motor under 60Hz condition, its speed is 1740rpm then, and the reduction ratio is 25:1 still, then the shaft speed is about 70rpm

In a complete mud system, how many sets agitator do we need? For oil and gas drilling, there are different configuration on tanks number, tanks size, so it"s not easy to confirm. But we can take a system as an example. One mud system laying with 6 tanks, and tanks size are 9mX2.2mX2.3m. The normal proposal is 3 sets of agitator per tank. But there is a shaker tank, then we deduct 1 set. So, probably we need 17 sets of agitator. And the agitators are APM7.5 driven by 7.5kw motor.

How to select agitators? As we said just now, according to mud tank size and mud tank property. And before confirmation on agitator selection, we"d better to inquire professional engineer or consultant. There is a formula for agitator selection or design. Aipu will help user to get right solution at the best cost

Is there any other configuration on agitator type or drive system? Yes. Some clients prefer the hydraulic drive for some specific use. Some clients need the vertical agitator. And 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 ideal solution

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

JBQ Series mud agitator is an equipment to mix solid and fluid.It is mainly used in oil and gas drilling mud process system,mineral working site,etc.This type of agitator has advantages of simple structure,large bearing strength,lower noise,more durable.It prevent solid sediment and maintain drilling fluid property.It works to prevent drilling fluids solids particles in the tank circulation system deposit,make cycle drilling fluid performance stability,mixed evenly.

JBQ Mud agitator/mixer is fixed on mud tank used to agitate drilling fluid. Generally, on mud tank every 3meters request 1 mud agitator. It should match with mud gun.

JBQ Mud agitator/mixer features:Typical C face motor installation;Small footprint without skid;Helical-Bevel gearbox;Gear box can be horizontal or vertical

LJB Vertical mud agitator have almost same principle and superiority with JBQ mud agitator. But for LJB, the motor and gear box connection way is vertical. This type agitator request less space, it’s more convenient to process drilling mud

JBQ Mud agitator/mixer can be used widely in various applications. Including drilling mud mixture, chemical agitating, food or beverage, etc. It will be mounted on mud tanks or set right overmud pit. The mud agitator will help mix subject with powerful rate. To select mud agitator should know the processed subject, the tank dimension (including length, width, height). Then we"ll get proper horse power, shaft length and impeller type. Just contact OGEM get your answers.

Our Mud Mixer is used primarily as a water supply for for our Pit Shot HDD drill, providing lubrication and cooling to the drilling head. In poor soil conditions, it can also be used as a mixer to create a bentonite mud compound; a clay solution which will help reinforce the drilling hole and prevent tunnel collapse.
