Industrial-grade Mud Agitator systems designed to preserve drilling fluid stability and stop solid sedimentation in solids control operations are supplied by Shaanxi Xixian New Area Zhongcheng Machinery Manufacturing. Our equipment has motor power options ranging from 3kW to 22kW and impeller diameters ranging from 600mm to 1100mm. Worm or helical gear reducers of industrial quality are incorporated into every unit to ensure smooth operation and maximum torque transfer. Impellers and agitator shafts that are dynamically adjusted reduce noise and vibration. Our solutions, which are certified under ISO 9001/14001/45001, TÜV, BV, and HSE standards, provide dependable performance for geothermal projects, HDD operations, and oil and gas drilling. Every product comes with a complete one-year guarantee and packaging that is safe for transportation.
Your drilling operations require constant, reliable mixing performance. Our gear reducers achieve mechanical efficiency above 90%, transforming motor input into sustained torque at ideal speeds between 60-90 RPM. Fluid stratification, which could jeopardize wellbore stability, is avoided by this design.
In accordance with ISO 1940 requirements, we precisely balance each shaft and impeller assembly. By doing this, the mechanical vibration that usually reduces gearbox life is eliminated. Your equipment lasts longer and operates more smoothly, which minimizes downtime during crucial drilling stages.
In field settings, equipment is subjected to saline water, acidic chemicals, and abrasive particles. Our products feature marine-grade epoxy finishes that are at least 250 microns thick. Wetted components prevent chemical degradation and maintain structural integrity during extended deployment cycles.

In active mud tank systems, maintaining uniform suspension of barite and bentonite prevents density variations that affect hydrostatic pressure control. Your circulation system benefits from consistent fluid properties, reducing the risk of kicks or lost circulation incidents.
High-viscosity bentonite slurries that settle quickly without stirring are necessary for trenchless construction. Our apparatus ensures that clean fluid reaches downhole tools by suspending solids in storage tanks. During reaming operations, this keeps the bore stable and avoids pipe sticking.
Every year, our 6,300-square-meter plant in Xingping City generates over 200 full mud circulation systems. Our staff has over 30 years of combined engineering experience, so we are aware of the mechanical strains and chemical difficulties your equipment encounters in the field.
Our 6,300-square-meter facility in Xingping City produces approximately 200 complete mud circulation systems annually, including reliable Mud Agitator. With over 30 years of collective engineering experience, our team understands the mechanical stresses and chemical challenges your equipment faces in the field.
Your procurement expenses might be decreased by doing away with middlemen. In-stock variants ship within 3 days. Within 15 days, custom specifications—such as choosing a motor manufacturer and modifying the impeller geometry—are delivered. You shorten project completion times without sacrificing quality.
We provide engineering drawings, hydraulic flowcharts, and component diagrams with every order. Your maintenance teams receive operation manuals and industry training. Our service package includes installation guidance, commissioning support, and a 1-year comprehensive warranty covering mechanical and electrical components.
Before shipping, we verify that shaft-impeller assemblies meet ISO 1940 balance grades. This eliminates wobble that damages bearings and seals. Your units operate vibration-free from day one.
Each reducer conducts a 4-8 hour load test to assure temperature rise stays below 40°C above ambient. Overheating is a sign of poor gear meshing or insufficient lubrication, which we fix before equipment departs our facility.
For crucial shaft-to-impeller welds, we use magnetic particle or ultrasonic examination. This finds subsurface defects that may lead to fatigue failures. Over thousands of running hours, your equipment can tolerate cyclic loads.
Attach the agitator to the tank top using all of the provided bolt holes. Make sure the impeller is positioned one-third of the way from the tank's bottom for optimal axial flow. Inadequate submergence causes vortexing, which raises vibration and reduces mixing effectiveness.
Gear oil should be replaced once a year or every 2,500 operation hours, whichever occurs first. During each service cycle, check oil seals for leakage. Watch the backlash of the gear set; excessive play indicates wear that must be fixed immediately to prevent catastrophic failure.
Look for bent shafts that were impacted during installation or transportation. Make sure the mounting bolts stay tight because loose fasteners can cause resonance frequencies. Confirm impeller blades exhibit no damage from contact with tank walls or debris.
Q: How do I select the right motor power for my tank size?
A: The desired turnover rate, tank volume, and muck density (specific gravity) all affect motor power. A 15kW unit usually offers sufficient mixing for a 100-barrel tank section carrying 2.0 SG fluid. For detailed recommendations, send your specifications to our technical staff.
Q: What's the difference between helical-bevel and worm gear reducers?
A: In continuous-duty applications, helical-bevel gears enhance service life by achieving up to 95% transmission efficiency with less heat generation. Worm gears are good for intermittent-duty cycles since they are small but produce more heat.
Q: Can your units operate in hazardous environments?
A: Yes. Class I Division 1 and Zone 1 safety ratings are met by our explosion-proof motors and junction boxes. Deployment at locations where flammable gases or vapors might be present during regular operations is made possible by this compliance.
Q: What causes the gearbox oil to overheat?
A: Overloading, low oil levels, or ambient temperatures above design limitations are the usual causes of overheating. Make that the fluid density corresponds to the rating of the unit. Make sure there is enough airflow surrounding the gearbox housing and use the sight glass to check the oil level.
Q: Do you provide customization for special applications?
A: Definitely. When projects call for standardized components, we specify worldwide motor manufacturers, choose different impeller designs for high-viscosity fluids, and adjust shaft lengths for deep tanks. For a customized solution, communicate your technical needs.
