What is a mud agitator?

The mud agitator is a continuous and reliable drilling mud solid control system for the purpose of maintaining the uniformity of the drilling fluid and suspending the solid particles. It is mainly used for mixing and stirring the drilling fluid to prevent the solid particles of the drilling fluid from settling in its tank circulation system, so that the circulating drilling fluid has stable performance and is mixed evenly.

The mud agitator is mainly composed of an explosion-proof motor, a reducer, a base and a pulsator assembly. The motor and the reducer, and the reducer and the pulsator shaft are connected by a rigid coupling. The pulsator is welded by 4 blades.

The mud agitator is suitable for stirring petroleum drilling fluid. Mud agitators below 5.5kW all use cycloid reducers, and drilling fluid mud agitators above 7.5kW use turbine worm reduction transmission. The pulsator can make the stirring fluid produce vortex motion, thereby enhancing the stirring effect. The tray sandwiched between the blades can also prevent the mud solid particles from depositing around the lower blades after shutdown. This can reduce the resistance torque of the sediment on the blades during startup, thereby avoiding starting overload and burning of the motor.
