Well Drilling APMA Mud Agitators With Bevel Gears For Mud Tank System

APMA series mud agitator with gear gearbox is one of the most popular solids control equipment, due to bevel gears are power transmission components primarily used to change the direction of shaft rotation and to decrease speed and increase torque between non-parallel rotating shafts. They are used on shafts with intersecting axes and in special cases on shafts whose axes do not intersect.

Bevel gearbox features

Bevel gear makes it possible to change the operating angle.
Differing of the number of teeth (effectively diameter) on each wheel allows mechanical advantage to be changed. By increasing or decreasing the ratio of teeth between the drive and driven wheels one may change the ratio of rotations between the two, meaning that the rotational drive and torque of the second wheel can be changed in relation to the first, with speed increasing and torque decreasing, or speed decreasing and torque increasing.

Please check below technical specifications for your reference. And some configuration is customizable. Please contact us for more details

Mud Agitator Direction

The agitator direction is not very strict because both direction is workable, the right direction is good agitating performance but heavier load and wrong direction will reduced load and agitating performance is not that good. The right direction is to press the mud downwards instead of upwards. While the mud goes down wards, the settled solids will be flushed up to keep a good agitating performance.

Is there any other configuration on the agitator type or drive system?

Yes. Some clients prefer the hydraulic drive for some specific use. Some clients prefer the stainless steel shaft and impeller. Different application and industries will request equipment much different If you have questions or demand on mud mixers, please let us know and we'll help you to get the ideal solution.

Moreover, the APMA series agitator is flexible on gearbox and motor configuration. Such as worm and worm wheel reducer, helical bevel reducer. The motor certified by IEC, ATEX, and so on

Electrical standard for mud agitator

Explosion proof agitator is required for oil & gas drilling site, coal seam bethane drilling or mining. The Ex standard is different depending on different countries regulation and drilling site. Non explosion proof agitator is good for other drilling site like horizontal directional drilling, water well drilling, micro tunneling, pilling, etc. Ex standard is a customized part will be done as per buyer’s request.
