Brief introduction for vertical and horizontal mud agitator
Mud agitator is an important part of the mud solids control system. It is mounted on the circulating tank. The vanes of the agitator are designed for stirring mud slurries in an open tank.
Vertical and horizontal mud agitator
Mud agitators are highly efficient mud mixing units offered in a wide variety of custom sizes and configurations to accommodate virtually any mud tank. Both horizontal and vertical drive configurations are available for all sizes of mud agitators. The horizontal drive is designed for installations having limited space above the mud tank. The vertical drive agitator employs and all helical gearing system, the horizontal drive utilises a helical bevel system to drive the agitator shaft.
The agitator shaft can have one or two straight or canted mixing impellers.
Each agitator is designed for the specific application, taking into account parameters such as tank size, tank depth and mud characteristics. For vertical configurations the drive motor rotates the impeller shaft through an all helical gear drive. For horizontal designs the motor is connected through a combination of helical and bevel gears. Both designs permit mounting of one or two impellers having either straight or canted blades.
The keyed motor and driven impeller shafts are rigidly connected by a multi piece coupling, which uses taper lock bushings to secure the shafts together. Shaft lengths are customised to suit the customer requirements.
Mud agitator features and benefits
1. Structure: Small footprint and compact structure.
2. Reduction gearbox: Helical-bevel design or worm design according to customer requirement.
3. Motor: Explosion-proof electrical motor, and can be the style of horizontal or vertical.
4. Shaft and impeller: Galvanizing treatment brings the excellent anti-rust performance much better than the painting process.
