What are the types of agitators

There are many types of mud agitators, including worm gear, direct-connected, helical gear and vertical agitators.

Worm gear mud agitators use worm gear reducers, which are compact, good meshing performance and reliable. This type of agitator is suitable for working in harsh outdoor conditions and can provide greater stirring intensity and a wide range of influence. In addition, the design of worm gear mud agitators also avoids the phenomenon of current overload of the motor at startup.

Direct-connected mud agitators, also known as flange agitators, use flange connections and have the advantage of more stable concentricity. This type of agitator adopts a direct connection form, which solves the noise and vibration problems caused by oil leakage and improper installation. No coupling is required, and subsequent maintenance is convenient and quick, which greatly saves costs. Direct-connected mud agitators are easy to install and easy to use. ‌

HJBX series helical gear agitator consists of explosion-proof motor, helical gear reducer, base and agitator rod. It is widely used in major oil fields due to its compact structure, good meshing performance, large torque and high transmission efficiency.

Vertical agitator is installed vertically to save space and is used for mixing in deep mud pools. Vertical agitator adopts planetary cycloid pinwheel transmission technology, motor is directly connected, agitator is installed vertically on the tank surface, and the lateral volume is reduced. Easy installation, low maintenance cost, the use function and effect are the same as horizontal agitator. Impact resistance is inferior to horizontal agitator. It is suitable for mud with small specific gravity. Start-up is not frequent. Small space occasions.
