Horizontal Motor Worm Gear API Drilling Mud Agitator

APMA Horizontal Mud Agitators With Worm Gear Driven By Electrical Motor Get High Comments From Customers

The oilfield mud tank agitator is configured with an explosion-proof motor, reduction gearbox, impeller, and shaft with assembly bushings. Canted blade impeller is commonly used. Horsepower, mechanical configuration, impeller diameter, number of impellers, and shaft length are customized to tank dimensions and maximum mud weights. Here is a list of our recommended configuration.

APMA series mud Agitator with worm gearbox is one of the most popular solids control equipment, due to low cost and durable performance. Mud Agitator with worm gearbox 

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.

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 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

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

Mud Agitator Direction

The agitator direction is not very strict because both directions is workable, the right direction is good agitating performance but heavier load and wrong direction will reduced load and agitating performance are not that good. The right direction is to press the mud downwards instead of upwards. While the mud goes downwards, the settled solids will be flushed up to keep a good agitating performance.

Electrical Standard for Mud Agitator

The explosion-proof agitator is required for oil & gas drilling sites, coal seam methane drilling, or mining. The Ex standard is different depending on different countries' regulations and drilling sites. Non explosion proof agitator is good for other drilling sites like horizontal directional drilling, water well drilling, micro tunneling, pilling, etc. Ex standard is a customized part that will be done as per the buyer’s request.

The mud agitator with canted blade impellers is introduced to most drilling mud tank system. The effective mixing and agitating performance help maintain proper mud characteristics. Our quality manufactured heavy-duty and easy operation agitators are the best choice for your drilling mud tank agitation system.
