VMAI-10 MA-25RG 23BRGTD-20 XE-3 High Eiciency Impeller

Description Description Description Description

The VMAI series mud agitators are a vertically mounted motor with a The MA-RG series mud agitators are horizontally mounted motor with a The XE-3 impeller is designed to provide high flow and low shear with an
helical inline gearbox. They are heavy duty mechanical mixers used for helical-bevel gearbox. They are heavy duty mechanical mixers used for motor with a helical-bevel gearbox. These agitators are considered high optimized shape to maximize mechanical strength. Designed using high
viscous fluids such as drilling fluids. The gearbox utilizes a parallel helical viscous fluids such as drilling fluids. The gearbox utilizes a helical-bevel tech Laser Doppler Anemometry, Digital Particle Image Velocimetry, and
gear drive system that reduces the rotational speed of the motor to drive gear drive system that reduces the rotational speed of the motor to drive Computational Fluid Mixing, the XE-3 impeller is always the right choice for
the impeller(s). MA-RG series agitators are very compact. Their low profile purpose design for trouble free mixing. The 20BRGT Series are backed by flow controlled processes.
