mud agitator manual in stock

Derrick mud agitators include an explosion-proof, “C” faced motor, reduction gearbox (helical-bevel gears for horizontal agitators or all helical gears for vertical units), impeller, and shaft with assembly bushings. Motors range from 5 to 30 HP and may be supplied in several power configurations.

Attaching the motor directly to the gearbox protects correct alignment that can increase bearing life and provides 95 percent efficiency in power transfer to the impeller. Using this superior design surpasses standard worm drive gear assemblies by 30 percent, allowing Derrick agitators to do the same work at far less horsepower. By unitizing the motor and gearbox, weight and space requirements are reduced. Horsepower, mechanical configuration, impeller diameter, and shaft length are customized to tank dimensions and maximum mud weights. Available horsepower ratings* are: 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30.

Our agitators feature the new dracomet coated corrosion resistant keyless coupling for easy installation and impeller adjustment. The units come complete with base plate, motor, gearbox, impeller, shaft & couplings.

Mud agitators are fluid mixing equipment that keeps solids in drilling fluid suspending, no deposit in the mud tank bottom. It uses its impeller to agitate and mix the drilling mud to prevent solid particles from depositing in the tank or mud pit.

There were many types of mud agitator, depending on purpose demand, gearbox type, and working conditions. But the basic structure of the mud agitator is all the same: Motor, gearbox [Speed reducer], shaft, and impeller.

Yes. Some clients prefer the hydraulic drive for some specific use. Some clients need a vertical agitator. And some clients prefer the stainless steel shaft and impeller. Different applications and industries will request equipment much different If you have questions or demand on mud mixers, please let us know and we’ll help you to get the ideal solution.

For oil and gas drilling, there are different configurations 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 9 m X 2.2 m X 2.3 m. 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 the agitator. And the agitators are APM 7.5 driven by 7.5 kw motor.

The most important factor was the power of the mud agitator, 5.5 Kw agitator is cost far lower than 22 KW. There is apparently a different price between the explosion-proof type and Non-proof type. Higher explosion-proof grade means higher cost.

Worm gearbox type mud agitator is a common type, durable, and easy maintenance. But its efficiency lower than the bevel gearbox. so bevel gearboxes are generally more expensive than worm gearboxes for the same HP and gear ratios. Helical-worm and helical-bevel are advanced generation type of worm and bevel gearbox. They produce less vibration and noise. The planetary gearbox is mainly used in vertical agitator.

THE DOUBLELIFE MUD AGITATORThe Double Life Mud Agitators combine heavy duty design, dependability, low maintenance and easy access to parts for the contractor. This makes the Double Life Agitator the right choice for the customer. High torque combined with service factors well beyond industry standards gives the Double Life Agitator the ability to perform at levels necessary to suspend drill solids throughout the mud system. The Double Life Agitators use explosion proof class 1, group D, electric motors that are directly coupled to Grove heavy duty g~ boxes. Solid machined steel shafts designed to operate well below their first critical speed will easily withstand excessive l tensile and shear stress placedon them in drilling applications. Double Life uses heavy welded steel bases to avoid any deflection or vibration transmission which could cause misalignment or premature failure of couplings or bearings. Double Life 4npellers are designed to give optimum performancein mixing and solid suspension, 60 degree axial design has proven most effective in pits with depth over four feet. Other impellersare availablefor special applications. In all, when contractorscall for an efficient and extremely durable Mud Pit Agitator, call for Double Life.

Mud Mixer Selection(Refer to chart on page 3) 1. Dete11IWIe the heaviest mud to be suspended. 2. - Determine tank sizes using equal dimensions for length and width. Depth and width should not exceed length. Example 1: 10" x 30" Tank. .

MUD AGITATOR INSTALLATION: (1) MAKE CERTAIN THE MOUNTS IN WHICH THE AGITATOR WILL REST UPON ARE HEAVY AND SECURE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT AND TORQUEOF THE AGITATOR. (2) THE AGITATOR BASE IS MOUN:rED AND SECURED WITH FOUR BOLTS,NUTS, AND LOCKWASHERS. THE IMPELLER SHAFT SHOULD NOW BE COUPLEDTO THE GEARBOXSHAFT. (3) CHECK THE ELECTRIC MOTOR FOR PROPER VOLTAGE WIRING. THE DOUBLE LIFE AGITATORS ARE WIRED 460 VOLTS UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE. (4) THE IMPELLER SHOULD ROTATE CLOCKWISE WHEN VIEWED FROM THE TOP. IF THE ROTATION IS INCORRECT, SWITCH ANY TWO LEAD WIRES AT THE STARTERTO REVERSETHE ROTATION. (5) CHECK THE OIL LEVEL.
