APMA Oilfield Equipment Anticorrosion Drilling Mud Agitator

APMA Mud agitators fit on mud tank horizontal in well drilling mud propcess

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

Mud agitator is part of the drilling fluids solids control equipment, which is mainly used to agitate and mix the drilling mud to prevent solids particles from depositing in the circulating tank and to stabilize the performance of drilling fluids. The motor and speed reducer, speed reducer, and impeller shaft are connected by steel coupling.

In a complete mud system, how many sets of agitators do we need?

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 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 the agitator. And the agitators are APM7.5 driven by 7.5kw motor.

Please check below technical specifications for your reference. And some configuration is customizable. Please contact us for more details

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 inquire about professional engineers or consultants. There is a formula for agitator selection or design. Aipu will help the user to get the right solution at the best cost

Is there any other configuration on the agitator type or drive system?

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 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 the ideal solution

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