Offshore Platform Oilfield Drilling Mud Tank Agitator Solids Control

Solids Control Drilling Mud Agitators For Offshore Platform Mud Tank With 15HP Motor

Information of Oilfield drilling mud agitator

Oilfield drilling mud agitator is well used on mud tank installation for tank agitating. AIPU is one of the famous agitator suppliers for different options like vertical installation or horizontal installation, worm gear or bevel gear, with coupler or without, single impeller or double. The agitator is combined with electrical motor, gear box, coupler, shaft, impeller and a pubic skid. Oilfield mud agitator is typically use flame proof motors and control panel which is higher standard for electricals compares non-explosion proof area like horizontal directional drilling, water well drilling and other construction drillings.

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.
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.

Aipu manufacture mud agitator with worm and wheel gearbox, also the agitator with helical bevel gear box. The high performance, efficiency, and quality is appreciated much among clients. Helical bevel geared agitator will transfer more efficient to shaft save more energy than common worm and wheel gearbox. No matter for horizontal or vertical agitator, there is helical bevel gearbox available.

Large torque mud agitator will help much on mixing drilling fluid thoroughly, especially when there is large quantity mud with big gravity.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
