Sandman 15kW Mud Agitator

Sandman^® 15kW Horizontal Mud Agitator is a heavy-duty tank mixing solution designed for drilling fluid systems and mud tanks. It provides continuous agitation to keep barite, bentonite, drilled solids, and other additives uniformly suspended throughout the tank.

Powered by a 15kW electric motor and heavy-duty reduction gearbox, the agitator delivers high torque at low rotational speed for efficient fluid circulation. The horizontal-mounted design provides a compact and reliable installation arrangement while allowing convenient maintenance and servicing.

The unit can be configured with a single or dual impeller system according to tank depth, fluid volume, mud density, and mixing requirements. Shaft length, impeller diameter, motor voltage, gearbox configuration, and explosion-proof protection can also be customized for specific projects.

Designed for continuous-duty operation, the 15kW Mixing Mud Agitator is widely used in oil and gas drilling rigs, drilling mud systems, solids control equipment, HDD projects, and industrial slurry mixing tanks.

Key Features of Mud Agitator

Heavy-Duty 15kW Drive

Equipped with a powerful 15kW (20 HP) motor to provide reliable agitation performance for medium to large mud tanks and demanding drilling fluid applications.

Horizontal-Mounted Design

The horizontal motor and gearbox arrangement allows convenient installation, inspection, adjustment, and maintenance on the mud tank.

High-Torque Gear Reduction

A heavy-duty worm gearbox or helical-bevel gearbox reduces motor speed and delivers the torque required for continuous mixing of solids-containing drilling fluids.

Effective Solids Suspension

The agitator creates continuous fluid circulation to help keep barite, bentonite, drilled solids, and other particles suspended and reduce sediment accumulation at the bottom of the tank.

Single or Dual Impeller Options

Available with single or dual propeller-type impellers to match different tank depths, mud volumes, and mixing requirements.

Customized Shaft and Impeller

Shaft length and impeller diameter can be designed according to the internal dimensions and liquid depth of the mud mixing tank.

Explosion-Proof Motor Available

Explosion-proof electrical motors can be supplied for hazardous oilfield and drilling environments, with customized voltage, frequency, and protection requirements.

Designed for Continuous Operation

Built with a robust drive assembly, rigid shaft, and durable impellers for reliable long-term operation in drilling fluid circulation systems.

Optional Configurations

Customize your Mud Tank Agitator with flexible motor, gearbox, impeller, shaft, and electrical options to match your mud tank and operating requirements.

Horizontal Mud Agitator Applications

Oil & Gas Drilling: Keeps drilling mud and weighting materials uniformly suspended in mud tanks.
Mud Mixing: Provides continuous agitation for bentonite, polymers, and drilling fluid additives.
Solids Control: Helps prevent solids settling and maintains consistent mud properties.
HDD: Supports mixing and circulation of bentonite- and polymer-based drilling fluids.
Workover & Well Servicing: Maintains uniform fluids in service and workover tanks.
Mud Recycling & Storage: Keeps stored and recycled drilling fluids properly mixed before reuse.
Industrial Slurry Mixing: Suitable for tanks handling solids-containing fluids and industrial slurries.

What Does a Horizontal Mud Agitator Do?

Horizontal Drilling Mud Agitator provides continuous mixing and circulation inside mud tanks. It keeps drilling fluids, weighting materials, and solids uniformly suspended, helping prevent sedimentation and maintain consistent mud properties.

Keep Solids Suspended — Prevents barite, sand, and drilled solids from settling.
Maintain Uniform Mud Properties — Helps keep density and viscosity consistent throughout the tank.
Improve Fluid Circulation — Promotes continuous movement and even distribution of materials.
Support Mud Mixing — Assists in mixing bentonite, polymers, and other drilling fluid additives.
Reduce Sedimentation — Minimizes solids accumulation at the bottom of the mud tank.
