The side shaker for drilling mud is equipment designed to maintain homogeneity and prevent the decantation of solids in drilling fluids in the oil and gas industry. Installed on the side of large reservoirs, this system ensures that the mixture of clays, polymers and chemical additives remains in perfect suspension, ready for immediate use in field operations.
Proper preparation and maintenance of fluids are critical to successful well drilling. To meet this rigorous demand, the Agitador industrialLateral/Horizontal from Agimix offers high performance combined with ease of installation and maintenance. Our technology ensures operational efficiency and total reliability in the process, avoiding unscheduled stops and losses of valuable material.
With 15 years in the market in agitation and mixing solutions, Agimix develops tailor-made projects for the oil sector. It is important to highlight that we supply the complete agitation system to be coupled to the large tanks that the customer already has in the plant or platform. Our equipment is specifically designed to withstand the high density and viscosity of drilling mud.
Choosing our technology means investing in durability and safety. We use materials that are highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion, essential for dealing with the aggressive components present in drilling fluids. Each project is rigorously calculated to deliver the best flow and shear ratio, optimizing the energy consumption of your operation and ensuring the integrity of the mixture.
Keeps mud solids in continuous suspension, ensuring ideal fluid density throughout the drilling operation.
The optimized design of the Industrial AgitadorLateral/Horizontal reduces energy consumption while delivering high mixing performance.
Manufactured with special metallic alloys that withstand the severe wear caused by barite and other abrasive additives in the mud.
Side installation allows quick access to mechanical components, minimizing fluid plant downtime.
We dimension the agitation system perfectly for the customer's existing tank, respecting the rigorous requirements of the oil sector.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
The side shaker is a mechanical piece of equipment installed on the wall of tanks to mix and keep drilling fluid components in suspension. It prevents heavy materials, such as barite, from settling at the bottom of the reservoir, ensuring the homogeneity of the mud before it is pumped into the well.
The side agitator is the ideal choice for large volume and high height tanks, where a top shaft would be structurally unfeasible or very costly. It provides an excellent circulation rate at the bottom of the tank, which is the most critical area for the decantation of heavy solids.
No, Agimix exclusively supplies the agitation system, which is designed to be installed in large tanks that the customer already has. Our engineers size the Industrial AgitatorLateral/Horizontal according to the exact geometry of your reservoir.
We use carbon steel with high hardness coatings or 316L stainless steel, depending on the chemical and abrasive aggressiveness of the mud. This rigorous selection of materials guarantees the long useful life of the equipment even in extreme offshore or onshore operating conditions.
Our equipment can be designed with a mechanical shut-off system, allowing the mechanical seal or gasket to be changed without the need to empty the tank. This represents an immense gain in operational availability for the platform or fluid base.
Power typically varies between 5 HP and 75 HP, depending directly on the volume of the tank and the final density of the fluid. Agimix's engineering team performs precise fluid dynamics calculations to specify the exact motor and reducer for your needs.
Yes, we supply equipment with explosion-proof (Ex-d) certified motors and electrical components. This is essential to ensure total safety in oil and gas installations, where there is a constant risk of flammable atmospheres forming.
The impeller profile determines the flow pattern and efficiency in suspension of solids. We use propellers with a hydrodynamic profile that generate high axial flow with low shear, optimizing mixing and drastically reducing the energy consumption of the agitation system.
