Drilling mud shear pump is the auxilliary equipment in the drilling fluids system. Sometimes, users oeprate shear pump and jet mud mixer separately, sometimes users operate the shearing mixing pump. Shearing pump is also known as the shear pump. It is mainly used to process the drilling mud material polymer. It can help much on materials shearing and better compounding
Drilling mud shear pump is specially used to shear polymer and clay in drilling fluid. The polymer (or clay) in drilling fluid system should be sufficiently cut in advance and then into the drilling fluid system, improve the performance of drilling fluid to give full play to its effectiveness. If not fully shearing, the polymer will block the shake screen in the first cycle. It will lose a massive amount of polymer, increase drilling cost, and may also make the large size of solid particles in drilling fluid difficult to be removed. Shear pump can make the polymer reduced by more than 15%, and the bentonite reduced by more than 30%. And it can also reduce mud cake and fluid loss, reduce drilling fluid shear rate, improve the gel strength, so as to achieve the advanced level of similar products abroad.
Shearing pump is designed to reduce cost of mixing polymers and clays while improving mud properties, it shear the polymers eliminates fish eyes and prevents polymer chaining which can’t pass though the shaker screen. The APJQB series shearing pump is based on centrifugal pump APSB6X5. Flow rate is up to 440-528GPM and 35-45m lift. Difference is the motor power. Overall size is about 1150x1100x1500mm
The shear pump is specially designed with the impeller holding jags to process the drilling mud mixed with clay and polymer.

Shearing pump is consisted of impeller, casing, packing, shaft, blt, pulley, motor, base and so on. The difference with other pump impeller is more complicated structure. There are axial whirl flow, fluids reserve compartment, pump wheel, pressure cabin, shearing plate.
The axial flow whirl provide a certain quantity fluids to the pump wheel and reserve cabin, 50% of this part fluids will flow into the reserve cabin, and the other half part flow into casing. Pressure cabin is a special design to make sure fluids cabin holding drilling mud. The fluids flow is parallel to shearing plate and introduce high flow velocity
There are many features of shearing pump as followings. High efficiency, high flow rate, high lead, mechanical sealed. It can help get higher performance and better shearing effect. Faster hydration and dilution process, meet the requirements of many different job site. Saving the cost and time for user. For the bentonite use, it can save cost up to 30%
Operating AIPU shear pump, the shearing and hydration system will be a mature and complete system.
APJQB series Shear Pump is a special purpose equipment of solids control system which can meet all customers’ requirements of preparing dilling fluid for the well drilling. This shear pump manufactured by Aipu company is used to treat the high property mud, make the mud to obtain good rheological properties and cut the drilling cost as much as possible. This ideal solids control equipment designed by GN’s engineers has high performance and gained customer’s high evaluation.
Moreover, the shear pump can be customized according to practical working conditon and the users special requirements. For example, it can be fit on a big rectangular base or a smaller saure base. And the vertical angle can be adjusted accordingly.
