Key Features of the MAX2000 Series
MAX2000 Mud Agitators
- Top-Side Serviceability: This feature allows maintenance on lower bearings to be done from the top of the tank, eliminating confined space entry and enhancing safety compliance.
- Helical Bevel Efficiency: The use of high-efficiency helical bevel gearing achieves up to 98% efficiency for maximum torque transfer, preventing solids from settling in high-viscosity fluids.
- Redundant Sealing: With four layers of protection designed to isolate the lower bearing from abrasive drilling fluids, this feature ensures longevity and minimizes replacement costs.
High Shear Hoppers
- Efficient Mixing: Equipped with a specialized 6″ Mixing Eductor and durable Urethane Nozzle, these hoppers generate intense turbulence for rapid and uniform hydration of additives.
- Cost Reduction: Field applications indicate that this equipment can reduce Bentonite and polymer consumption by up to 50%, translating to significant cost savings while optimizing fluid properties.
Safety-Integrated Screw Conveyors
- Immediate Shutdown: These conveyors feature full-length, side-mounted emergency pull cables and remote stop switches, empowering any crew member to halt operations instantly from any location along the conveyor.
- Audio-Visual Warnings: Integrated strobe lights and loud alarm horns enhance safety by clearly indicating equipment status, preventing startup accidents.
- Operator Protection: Heavy-duty troughs combined with secure top grates protect personnel from moving augers, while efficiently transporting semi-solid waste.
