Brandt Mud Agitators

The Brandt Agitator has been the industry

standard for many years. Its rugged design,
simplicity and dependability have made it
preferred by the majority of operators and
contractors.

Brandt Agitators are very compact, their low

profile reduces headroom requirements and
provides more layout space on top of the tanks
for other Brandt equipment. The 1:1 height-to-
width ratio results in a low center of gravity
providing stability and safety should the impeller
encounter a sudden shock load. This, coupled
with the action of the worm gear being more
resistant to shock and vibration gives a more
reliable unit than those using helical and bevel
gears. The sliding action of the worm and gear
insures quiet, smooth, vibration-free operation.

Seven models of Brandt Agitators, ranging from

3 to 25 horsepower, are available. Using the
Brandt introduced turn over rate (TORSM)
calculations for sizing to specific applications,
the agitators have been extremely successful.

Agitator Sizing
Proper sizing can be determined easily with your
Brandt representative. Using the TOR calculation
and time proven modeling, the process becomes
very simple. Ask for assistance and request a
copy of the Brandt Agitator Selection Guide.
Motors
The motors used on the Brandt Agitators are T-
frame, explosion proof, three phase motors
direct coupled to the gear reduction assembly
using a flexible coupling with a solid steel guard.
They are available for most voltage/frequency
requirements.
Gear Reduction
The gear reduction assembly is a single
reduction worm - worm gear drive, reducing the
motor rpm to the agitator rpm in a single 30:1
reduction. Depending on the gear box model,
each assembly contains an output shaft, two
seals and four to six bearings. The bearings,
which are generously spaced to minimize shaft
vibration and deflection, and seals are readily
obtainable standard sizes. Unlike many other
agitators, Brandt’s reducer requires no manual
lubrication of the bottom output bearing.
Agitator Shafts
Manufactured of solid, mild steel bar, the shaft is
coupled to the gear reduction assembly with a
rigid coupling. All shafts are keyed at the bottom
for adjusting the height of the impeller.
Depending on the model, shaft diameters range
from 1 3/4 to 3 1/2 inches. Shaft length is
determined by tank depth and should be
carefully reviewed before ordering. Consider-
ation must be given to the difference in height of
the agitator models, the gear reducer stub shaft
