Agitator - Mud Mixing

The gear sets are precisely ground to prevent all but the slightest amount of backlash in the gear sets. This feature promotes longer life by eliminating the high impact forces generated when the unit is energized at start-up. Each helical bevel gear stage is 98% efficient. A typical worm gear set is only 85% efficient, since it loses most of its efficiency through the generation of heat. • Internal gears and bearings are lubricated with mineral oil. When the ambient temperature drops below 23º F or rises above 140º F, a synthetic lubricant should be substituted. A unique feature of the MS Agitator is the lower bearing, which can be maintained from the top of the tank. This feature eliminates the need for in-tank inspections of the lower bearing, and also provides a barrier of grease that can be expunged out the lower seal. The lower seals are arranged to accommodate the gre
