THE DOUBLELIFE MUDAGITATOR
The Double Life Mud Agitators combine heavy duty design, dependability, low
maintenance and easy access to parts for the contractor. This makes the Double Life
Agitator the right choicefor the customer.
High torque combinedwith service factors well beyond industry standards gives the
Double Life Agitator the ability to perform at levels necessary to suspend drill solids
throughout the mud system.
The Double Life Agitators use explosion proof class 1, group D, electric motors that
are directly coupled to Grove heavy duty g~ boxes. Solid machined steel shafts
designed to operate well belowtheir first critical speed will easily withstand excessive l
tensile and shear stress placedon themin drilling applications.
Double Life uses heavy welded steel bases to avoid any deflection or vibration
transmission which could cause misalignment or premature failure of couplings or
bearings.
Double Life 4npellers are designedto give optimumperformancein mixing and solid
suspension, 60 degree axial designhas proven most effectivein pits with depth over four
feet. Other impellersare availablefor special applications.
In all, when contractorscall for an efficient and extremely durable Mud Pit Agitator,
call for Double Life.
