Usage and Applicability of The Drilling Fluids Mud Agitator in Solids Control

Nov 04, 2013

Mud agitator/mixer can be used widely in various applications, including drilling mud mixture, chemical agitating, food or beverage, etc. It will be mounted on mud tanks or set right over mud pit. The mud agitator will help mix subject with powerful rate. Drilling mud agitator is a part of drilling mud recycling system. It is designed for mixing mud and avoiding the drilling cuttings deposit on the bottom of mud tank. Its main function is to make the drilling fluids solid particles in suspension.

Mud agitator is combined with reducer and explosion-proof motor, easy to maintain and suitable to be used in harsh working conditions. It has a high stirring intensity and a wide range impact on drilling fluids, and it effectively reduces the starting resistance moment. With the motor level placement, it is easy to install, adjust and replace. Mud agitator is equipped with hollow flank worm reducer, shaft section of the circular arc cylindrical worm and turbine toothed conjugated to a circle with the turbine, so it has the reliable performance of bump mesh, compact structure and high efficiency.

Usage and Applicability

Mud agitator is an important part of the drilling fluids solids control system. It can be installed on drilling fluids tank, with the impeller submerged into certain depth under fluid surface to stir the fluid directly. During this process, the drilling fluids can be mixed evenly, and the solid particles are eliminated. In this way, it can improve solid phase dispersion, and increase the viscosity and gel strength, thus making drilling fluids keep accordant with the requirement, provide needful fluid for drilling process, and ensure the smooth drilling work.

Operating Principle

The impeller can strengthen the stirring effect by making vortex of the drilling fluids. The tray installed between the leaf blades can prevent the deposition of the solid particles when the machine stopped, thereby, to reduce the moment of resistance inflicted by the sediment to the impellers when restarting the equipment, therefore, to avoid burnout of the machine.

Mud agitator is so important in solids control that we can't working efficiently in drilling without it. KOSUN can provide high quality mud agitators and other solids control equipment, such as shale shaker, mud cleaner, vacuum degasser, desander, desilter, decanter centrifuge, mud gun, mud tank, etc.
