In oil drilling fluid solid control systems, mud agitators for drilling currently see widespread use. Some well teams also employ helical gear mud agitators. An explosion-proof motor, a turbine worm reducer, a base, and a stirring rod constitute the turbine worm agitator. We widely use it in major oil fields because it offers a simple structure, large torque, stable performance, and convenient maintenance.
The working principle of the mud agitator
The mud agitator for drilling operates on this principle: when the explosion-proof motor runs, it drives the reducer input shaft to rotate through the elastic coupling. After deceleration by the reducer, the output shaft transmits power, driving the stirring impeller to rotate. As the stirring impeller’s blades contact the drilling fluid, they force it to produce a vortex motion, thus preventing solid phase deposition and achieving the effect of uniform mixing of solid and liquid phases and consistent density.
Advantages of mud agitator for drilling
1. Helical gear reducer, high transmission efficiency
2. High-strength material, long service life
3. Compact structure, good meshing performance
4. Explosion-proof motor, safe and reliable
5. Double-layer impeller design, more complete mixing
