Four tips on using drilling solids control mud agitator

Regulatory changes concerning the mud agitator for drilling mud recycling system have increased the stringency of treatment requirements although a specific group has been initially exempt from new requirements.

Agitator make its work volume within the drilling fluid circulating agitation one time is called the cycle time and cycle time is commonly 30-90 s. in solids control system , placed shale shaker, etc of the drilling fluid solids control single tank and drilling pump on tank should take little value, to ensure that the drilling fluid performance stability.

Maintenance of mud agitator:
1. mud agitator installation should be level and smooth lifting agitator placed in the position I want to install, adjust concentricity <0.39mm after four M16 socket welded to the tank and tighten the base bolt .
2. mud agitator rigid coupling spring washer must be installed and should be solid and reliable, otherwise it will cause waves axle deflection, exacerbated reducer wear.
3. mud mixer blender running should be no abnormal sound, cassette, high temperature and other abnormal situations. Otherwise, should stop to check, troubleshooting.

4. mud agitator gearbox oil level should be maintained, as the oil window in the middle position, the work often make up the oil. Recommended to use 120 # industrial gear oil. When the field is not satisfied, also use other suitable lubricant particle.

Mud agitator by a group of cyclone shaker and a breakdown of the composition of the upper part of the cyclone, the lower part of the shaker. 100mm from the group consisting of a cyclone swirler. Mainly used to deal with increased drilling, recycling barite; heavier drilling fluids can also be used for non-recovery of precious liquid. While the slurry process is merely a stirrer cyclone underflow material, not all the drilling fluid flow, the cleaner will shaker occurrence of clogging tendency, the following approach may be used to prevent and overcome.
