How to choose a drilling mud agitator

How to choose a drilling mud agitator? What do customers need to know before purchasing equipment? Today, we will discuss about it.

There are 4 points to pay attention to when choosing a mud agitator

1. Mud agitator power

From the actual measurement of the motion power of the drilling fluid mixer, the actual output power of the mud mixer does not exceed 2kw. At present, there are agitators with two motor powers of 7.5kw and 5kw on the market. The guiding ideology of its design is that the impeller can still be started after being buried in sand due to the stoppage of the impeller. But in fact either burns the motor or breaks the impeller. Therefore, the new type of mud mixer is improved in structure. For example, if the impeller that has been put into production is selected to raise a certain height after stopping, the effect of sand deposition is very small.


2. Mud agitator speed

In the solid control of oil drilling, in order to prevent the drill cuttings from being pulverized during the mixing process, the rotating speed of the selected mud agitator should not be too high, and the rotating speed of the mud agitator should be selected between 50 and 60 rpm. Users are advised to be cautious with mud mixers over 60rpm.

3. Selection of agitator impeller

There are many kinds of impellers for mud agitators, single impeller and double impeller, but it should be noted that a mud agitator with a small diameter blade and high speed must have small circulation and large shear force, so it is not suitable for use in mud agitators. The purpose of solid phase suspension of drilling fluid. Therefore, the impeller diameter should generally be larger.

4. Sealing of the stirrer

According to the using site experience, due to the very harsh working conditions, the shaft of the drilling fluid mud agitator should not be sealed with the end face, and the general packing seal is also difficult to adapt. At present, it is more successful to use multiple sets of V-shaped packings, which have self-sealing performance and self-compensation ability, and will not cause oil leakage problems without maintenance or adjustment for a long time.
