1.5 Usage of mud agitator

It is high-efficiency mud-mixing units offered in a wide array of custom sizes and
configurations to accommodate virtually any mud tank. The horizontal drive is designed
for installations having limited space above the mud tank.

The mud agitator stirs mud slurry to maintain suspension of solids. The agitator is mounted
on top of the mud tank and has one or two impeller(s) immersed in the mud slurry. The
impeller shaft is coupled to an electric drive motor with coupling. iT is available in several
horsepower ratings from 7.5hp to 20hp (5.5kw ~ 15kw).
Normally, below 11kw agitator, single impeller usually be matched. Above 11kw, double
impeller better. Details design should be based on the users request and jobsite condition.
The impeller is fixed to the shaft with bolts to avoid rotating or sway (connection with key
groove optional). Its vertical location on the shaft is determined as a height from the tank
bottom corresponding to the impeller diameter times 0.75. For example, a 20 impeller
should be mounted 15 above the bottom. GN recommends straight impeller blades for
tanks under 5 deep and canted blades for deeper tanks. If dual impellers are desired,
straight blades are mounted on the bottom and the canted blade impeller is installed at a
point about two-thirds above the tank bottom.
The keyed motor and driven impeller shafts are rigidly connected by a multi-piece
coupling, which uses tapered locking bushings to secure the shafts together. Shaft lengths
are customized to suit customer specifications. For shafts longer than 8, a stabilizer is
mounted on the tank bottom to support the lower end of the shaft.
Section 2- Structure And Operation Principle

GN mud agitator is made of explosion-proof motor, worm gear reducer. impeller,
mounting plate, elastic coupling, and rigid coupling. Explosion-proof motor and worm gear
reducer installed on mounting plate. Elastic coupling connect explosion-proof motor input
shaft and gearbox input shaft. Impeller shaft and gearbox output shaft are connected by
rigid coupling.
Although the arrangement mud agitator components is identical across the various sizes
and configurations, the drive motor, impeller, shaft length and diameter, gear drive, and
motor orientation vary between models. Figure 2 shows the typical components of a mud
agitator. The configuration for the same power rating is identical, except for the type of ear
drive. The unit is shipped unassembled and requires assembly by a trained, qualified
technician.

2.1 Drive Motor

The mud agitator is operated by a 3-phase induction motor. Drive motors range from 7.5 to
20 horsepower with customized hz and voltage; the power requirements are specified on
the customer order. Electric power, switching, and safety devices are provided by the
customer.
GN can offer starter for agitator as request. All components come from Siemens of
Schneider.
2.2 Gear Drive

Rotation of the drive motor is transferred to the impeller shaft through the directly coupled
gear drive. The drive is a reduction gearbox and is factory assembled to the drive motor.
The drive is sized to apply the maximum torque required to produce the design impeller
rotation speed of 60 rpm under 50hz, and 72 rpm under 60hz.
2.3 Impeller
Impellers are available in diameters ranging from 650mm to 1100mm to meet the needs of
various size mud tanks. The impeller diameter is generally determined by the size of the
tank. Larger or deeper tanks employ dual impeller units having a secondary impeller
mounted closer to the mud surface. The impeller is mounted on the shaft using a tapered
locking bushing. A bolt / key inserted in the impeller shaft locks the impeller to the shaft
and prevents rotation. Canted impeller blades are desirable near the bottom of tanks more
than 1500mm (5) deep or where other forces of flow factor may be absent in the tank.

Section 3- Model selection and Installation

Before installation / disassembly, read and understand all safety information presented in
this manual and associated documents. Review the equipment handling procedures in the
manual. Pay particular attention to information concerning lift points and the use of
spreader bars before lifting or moving the equipment.
Failure to observe proper equipment handling procedures may result in serious personal
injury and/or damage to the equipment.
3.1 Model selection

For proper mixing and suspension of solids, the mud agitator must be properly sized and
installed. To properly size a mud agitator, proceed as follows:
1). Select desired style horizontal type
2). Determine available electric power - 440V/460V/380, 60HZ , 380V/400V/415V, 50HZ
or customized.
3). Select horsepower and impeller(s) as determined by the following factors:
a. Tank design - round or square
b. Tank dimensions
c. Maximum mud weight
d. Desired turnover ratio (TOR)
After gathering the required information, the agitator can be properly sized to meet the
horsepower demand and correct agitation for the application. To ensure accurate sizing,
GN recommends clients to communicate with GN people to make sure size and model.
3.2 Operation Attentions

Following are operational recommendations for mud agitators:
1. Maintain uniform tank dimensions, i.e. equal width-to-length ratio or as close as
possible to equal.
14
2. Avoid TOR values greater than 85 seconds, as this may jeopardize solids suspension.
3. Avoid TOR values less than 40 seconds, as this may result in formation of a vortex and
increase air entrapment.
3.3 Installation
Following are the sequential steps of the mud agitator installation procedure. The sequence
presented is a guideline and may vary depending on the users facilities, previous
experience with this equipment, and optional equipment.
1. Read and understand all safety information & handling procedures in this manual, and
identify the mud agitator components.
2. Locate and weld mounting plate and stabilizer (if required) to tank structure.
3. Place shaft in tank, and assemble impeller(s), tapered bushings, and male coupling on
shaft.
4. Install female coupling on gearbox shaft.
5. Install motor and gearbox assembly, and attach shaft coupling to gearbox coupling.
6. Connect electric power supply to drive motor.
Leveling
To prevent undue premature wear on the gearbox or coupling and ensure long-term
reliability and efficiency of the mud agitator, the impeller shaft should rotate in a true
vertical orientation, with concentricity <0.39mmend face gap 2mm. Weld 4 each M16
screw on the tank, tightens the bolts for fixing the plate.
This vertical installation is achieved by ensuring that the mounting plate is absolutely
horizontal. If a stabilizer is used, it must be directly aligned with the center of the mounting
plate. The following paragraphs describe the correct methods for installing the mounting
plate and stabilizer.

Gearbox mounting plate

The mounting location must be determined before the gearbox is installed. When selecting
the mounting plate location, ensure that sufficient clearance is provided between the
impeller blades and the tank wall. Use a level to ensure absolute, horizontal orientation of
the mounting plate in two perpendicular directions. Select shims as needed to achieve level
mounting, mark the position of shims, and then remove the plate from the tank as it must
be placed onto the gearbox shaft before installing the female coupling.
If impeller shaft is more than 8 long, a stabilizer is required to support the lower end of
the shaft.
Install the stabilizer as follows:
1. Drop a plumb line through the center of the mounting plate to locate the exact center
position of the stabilizer on the tank floor.
2. After determining its proper location, weld the stabilizer to tank floor.
Shaft assembly
Following installation of the stabilizer (if needed), place the shaft in the tank and assemble
as follows:
Hoist the shaft vertically, and carefully lower into the tank while maintaining suitable
support to permit assembly of impeller(s) and male coupling. While assemble shaft and
impeller, rigid coupling should assembled with spring waster and flat washer, and then
tighten, otherwise, it may cause runout of impeller shaft, and speed up the abrasion of
gearbox and bearing.
Impeller assembly
Install impeller with shaft, fixed with M14x140 bolt (2 bolts for each set of impeller)
The impeller mounting location is kept by GN before delivery.
For a canted single impeller or a dual impeller shaft, GN sets the distance of the lower
impeller from the tank floor at 75 percent of the impeller diameter. Mount the optional
17
second impeller at a distance above the tank floor that is equal to 2/3 of the tanks
maximum mud height. For example, if the tank mud depth is 10, the second (upper)
impeller key should be centered approximately 6.5 above the bottom of the tank. For tank
depths of 6 or less, install a single straight impeller not more than 12 above the tank
floor.
Motor and gearbox assembly and installation

GN Solids control Co., Ltd. will install motor and gearbox before delivery. Clients can
installation or disassembly as request. For details, please refer motor/gearbox user
manual.
Gearbox and impeller coupling connection

1. Position and align shafts so that couplings are brought together, and fully mate couplings
on shaft and gearbox
2. Check for a gap at any location around the coupling flanges. A gap indicates angular
misalignment. Difficulty in mating the shafts indicates parallel misalignment. Alignment
should be checked with a dial indicator before bolting flanges together.
3. After aligning couplings, insert and tighten hex head screws (supplied with male
coupling) to the recommended torque. Tighten in stages, using an alternating pattern until
final torque is reached. Re-check torque after completing tightening sequence.
