APMA Mud Tank Agitators With Bevel Gears For Oil And Gas Drilling
APMA series mud Agitator is a device mounted on a mud tank for agitating the drilling mud to prevent the drilled cuttings and fine solids from sedimentation. Nearly every large compartment of mud mixing and storage tank should be equipped with mud agitators to maintain the proper properties of drilling mud that will pump back to the borehole.
The oilfield mud tank agitator is configured with an explosion-proof motor, reduction gearbox, impeller, and shaft with assembly bushings. Canted blade impeller is commonly used. Horsepower, mechanical configuration, impeller diameter, number of impeller and shaft length are customized to tank dimensions, and maximum mud weights. Here is a list of our recommended configuration.
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.
Sizing Agitators
Regardless of what style of agitator or impeller is used, proper sizing of components is critical. Once compartment size has been determined, the impeller diameter and corresponding horsepower requirements must be calculated. If the maximum mud weight to be used with the rig is not known, it is best to base all calculations on 20 lb/gal fluid (2.4 specific gravity [SG]). This will give a sufficient safety factor to allow agitation of most any fluid without fear of overloading the motor. Most oilfield agitators range in shaft speed from 50 to 90 rpm.
Features
- Helical-bevel gearbox
- 5-30 HP available
- Sized to process 20 ppg drilling fluid
- By unitizing the motor and gearbox, weight and space requirements are reduced.
- The customized configuration is available
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
