JBQ mud agitator is a part of solid control system of mud tank, which is mainly used in agitating and blending drilling fluid so as to control the depositions of solid particles in its tank cycling system and keep the mud property of circulation stable and mixture uniform.

GN solids control manufacture drilling mud agitator with various models, different agitator use different motor. The model we have now including JBQ5.5(7.5HP motor), JBQ 7.5(10HP motor), JBQ11(15HP motor), JBQ15(20HP motor), JBQ22(30HP).

Mud agitator is consist of gear box and motor, shaft, impeller, stabilizer( option), etc. Motor is a main part of drilling mud agitator. Usually we use explosion proof motorYB2 series for mud agitator.

The detailed model is:

5.5KW agitator motor:  YB2-132S-4

7.5KW  agitator motor    YB2-132M-4

11KW   agitator motor YB2-160M-4

15KW  agitator motor       YB2-160L-4

GN solids control is seeking for a reliable and powerful partner who makes mud tanks in Latin America, we will provide solids control equipments and when tank is ready, you can install it on the tank.

agitator mixer

Because of the long distance shipment from China to Latin America, and the high import tax of mud tank, the economic way is to make the tank by local mud tank manufacture and installed with GN equipments. We will have a technician for instruction of installation.

Agitator mixer uses an impeller to mix and suspend the solids using both axial and radial flows, and by utilizing low shear mixers to suspend and mix mud additives particle size degradation and polymer shear. Unlike centrifugal pumps or mud guns. The Mud Agitator is relatively low shear and low energy device, so it’s easy to operate and inexpensive to maintain. This will ensure that mud additives are homogeneously mixed to prevent dead spots. Agitators will keep the active mud system flowing even when the pumps are disengaged and keep the weighting agents in suspension.

BENEFITS OF AGITATOR MIXER:
     - Increase performance of solids removal equipment.
     - Maintain a uniform mud density.
     - Prevents solids settling , taking up valuable tank displacement.
     - High shear mixing, aids chemical and solids addition.

FEATURES OF AGITATOR MIXER:
     - Compact design.
     - Quiet, smooth, vibration free.
     - Durable, single reduction worm gear drive.

This week GN shipped several sets of stainless steel mud agitators to Algeria. Normally our agitator material is carbon steel, but sometimes we can make customized equipments, such as customized shaft length, impeller diameter, impeller thickness, material, etc.

 A mud agitator is used in surface mud systems 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 can be divided into horizontal mounted agitator and vertical mounted agitator according to mounting method.

Types of Impeller Blades

Derrick mud agitator

 All Derrick agitators feature a “C” face motor coupled to a rugged oilfield gearbox, which

eliminates misalignment and troublesome couplings. This configuration promotes longer motor and gearbox bearing life. Derrick uses a Helical-Bevel gear unit to turn the impeller.

 This highly efficient gearbox offers a 95% power transfer, which is approximately 30% more than a worm drive gearbox. Helical-Bevel gearboxes are preferred over worm gear arrangements because of their power efficiency, reliability, and lower operating temperatures.

Mud agitator is one important part of mud system, since GN Solids Control supply solids control equipments to Jidong Oilfield, there are 16 mud sotorage tanks, and each tank is used with 2 mud tank agitators. As we have introduced the mud tank agitator, here comes a more interesting question: how to size mud agitator.
I have give some Purchase Tips:

Please contact GN Solids Control representative with your tank dimensions and maximum mud weights for the correct agitator model, horsepower, impeller (size, type and quantity), and shaft length to meet your requirements.

  • Mud Tank Dimensions

Mud tank dimension is used to confirm the length of the shaft and the type of the impellers.

  • Motors

Which brand do you prefer, do you need explosion prevent motors.

  • Gear box

This is the key part of tank agitator. Inch-bound is always needed. How to matching with the motor, and which rotate ratio is you really need.(Usually 60 or 72r/min)
P.S. : Contact GN Solids Control to get more professional advice.
