Mud agitator is part of the drilling fluids solids control equipment, which is mainly used to agitate and mix the drilling mud to prevent solid particles from depositing in the circulating tank and to stabilize the performance of drilling fluids.

The main component of mud agitator

A mud agitator is used in surface mud systems to suspend solids and maintain homogeneous mixture throughout the system. A mechanical agitator is driven by an explosion-proof motor, coupled to a gear box that drives the impeller shaft. The impellers (turbines) transform mechanical power into fluid circulation or agitation. The objective is to obtain a uniform suspension of all solids

Mud agitator function

To keep both drilling mud uniform and solid particle suspension, mud agitator is used to agitate the mud consecutively and reliably. It is furnished with an up-to-date SEW gear reducer featured by high driving efficiency, compact structure, low noise level, reliable quality and easy maintenance. Therefore, it is a reliable product of agitating the mud.

As part of the solid control system, the agitator is used to agitate the mud to make cuttings, silt and sand along with the mud pass easily the solids control system without being precipitated onto the tank bottom. The main function of the agitator is to mix the cuttings and other solids with the mud. The gear reducer uses Archimedes cylindrical worm drive, the worm is on the left side. The connection between the motor and the gear reducer as well as the reducer output shaft and the agitating shaft is made by using coupling.

The gear reducer is worm and gear single-stage reducer, so with small structural dimensions, light weight, smooth driving, low noise level, large transmitting power and powerful agitating capacity.
