Mud agitator is an important part of the mud solids control system. It is mounted on the circulating tank. The vanes of the agitator dip into the mud to agitate the fluid uniformly.

A Mud Agitator is used in surface of mud system 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

The Structure of mud agitator

The main parts of mud agitator including explosion–proof motor, reducer, shaft, impeller, shaft adapters are used in connections of reducer to motor, and reducer to impeller wheel.

The motor of mud agitator

All motors used in KOSUN mud agitator are ISO brand and explosion motor in China, any other requirements required by clients, we can choose different brand for customs. the size range from 5 to 30 kw.

The impeller and shaft of mud agitator

The mild steel shaft is coupled to the gear reduction assembly with a rigid coupling. All shafts are keyed at the bottom for adjusting the height of the impeller. Shaft length is depend on the depth and should be informed before ordering.

The canted blade impeller used in tanks deeper than five feet, promotes axial as well as radial flow. Because the blades move the liquid downward to the bottom of the tank and then toward the tank walls and up, all fluid is mixed continuously and the same consistency is maintained in all parts of the tank. Field experience has confirmed that this design provides the most homogeneous mixture over the widest range of installations and helps to eliminate heavy slugs or light spots that could cause control problems when pumped down-hole. The impeller developed by KOSUN are classified single and double impellers which depend on the tank size and custon requirements.

As drilling solids control equipment manufacturer in China, KOSUN started the business in a small scale before. But with more than 20 years’industrial experiences and technology development, KOSUN now expand its scale to a middle size and improved its technology to a high level. The gap between products from KOSUN and those international big brands is very small now. Any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
