General information of mud mixing pump

Well drilling fluids mixing pump` is the integration of venturi hopper or swirl hopper and centrifugal pump. We can set hopper and pump on skid together or separately. Hopper on tank top and pump on tank bottom skid. Considering whole mud system flow rate we can design the dual tandem mixing pump. Some users will request dual mixing hopper pump anyhow, since they will treat one set as spare one.

Mud mixing hopper unit is also referred to Jet mud mixer or mixing hopper pump. Since it's a combination of hopper and centrifugal pump. The hopper can be the venturi hopper or the whirl hopper. This lead is about mixing pump with venturi hopper

The model number means jet mud mixer of AIPU and the outlet is 6'', while the venturi nozzle is 2''. This model mixer fit centrifugal pump APSB8X6, and pump driven by motor 75HP. The flow rate is up to 1200gpm. If no special requirements the pump and motor will be configured as the standard one. But nowadays, more and more users need the higher flow rate mixer since the deeper well drilled. Such as ZJ90 rig. So the pump and hopper can be adjusted accordingly

On AIPU mud mixing pump, the centrifugal pump is mechanical sealed and rather reliable. There is high quality butterfly valve on pump pipelines. This will help to control mud flow rate and the compounding better during operation. The pressure is 0.2~0.4Mpa

What impact Jet mud mixing pump?

1. Mixing hopper hydraulic consumption should be as little as possible, otherwise the flow rate may decrease by too much
2. Distance between Venturi hopper and nozzle should be proper. The optimal distance should be 32~90mm
3. Output pressure should be designed properly. If the discharge port pressure is too high the flow rate of mixing pump will be lower than expected
4. The higher pressure at inlet port the higher flow rate of mixing hopper
5. The higher hopper mounted the lower mixing capacity

More detail information of APSLH series mud mixing pump

The jet mud mixer can be widely used in drilling mud system. Including the oil and gas drilling, the HDD mud recycling, the civil construction drilling mud process. As we know, during drilling there is mud lost and to maintain the mud property we need such equipment to prepare sufficient quality fluids

Besides the APSLH150-50, there are other models jet mixing pump. The difference including pump size, motor power, and the hopper size, the pipe line and fittings

Furthermore, we also provide different configuration on hopper, pipe and pump connection.

Main features of mixing pump

1. High mixing capacity
2. Complete “dust-free” mixing of material from surge tank and sack slitting machine
3. Able to handle high back-pressure
4. Economical, simple, robust, reliable and wear-resistant
5. Venturi-type jet mixer

How to select mud mixing pump?

1. Confirm treating capacity we need. For oil and gas drilling kindly suggest 150m³/h flow rate
2. Then confirm pump, necessary pipelines
3. Manufacturer/supplier suggestion
