Jet Mud Mixer Drilling Fluid Additives Supplier Hopper Venturi

Summary of jet mud mixer

A jet mud mixer is a special equipment to prepare and increase the drilling fluids weight by adding and mixing bentonite, changing the fluid density, changing the mud density, viscosity, and dehydration. The unit includes one centrifugal pump, one jet mixing hopper, and one jet mixer that are installed in a base with pipe valves.

APSLH series jet mud hopper units are welcomed by clients for a good price and high performance. Also, we have short delivery and many models for you to choose from. Nowadays our jet mud mixer is widely used in oil and gas drilling, horizontal directional drilling, tunnel and micro tunneling, shield construction, etc.

Jet mud mixer features and benefits

High mixing capacity. Put the drilling fluids material (bentonites, barite powder ) and the corresponding chemical additives (polymer) into the circulation tank for increasing the total

APPLICATION OF JET MUD MIXER

When making up, the materials of drilling fluid (such as bentonite and barite powder) and corresponding chemical additives (such as a polymer) into the mixing hopper and then go into the recycling tank through the jet unit. If put them into the mud tank directly, the materials of drilling fluid and chemical additives will be deposited largely or dumped together and we can’t obtain diffused and well-proportioned drilling fluid. The mud mixing unit can increase the shear strength of the liquid in the tube, better improve material dispersion, and increase the liquid mixing pressure, to get the material to the full cycle and mixing.

Able to handle high back-pressure

Which is designed to be economical, simple, robust, reliable, and wear-

APSLH mud hopper unit characteristics

Jet mud mixer can change the density, viscosity, and water loss effectively, and also enhance the material dispersion effect, improve the mixed liquid pressure head.

Sand pump and jet mixing hopper can either be combined or be installed separately, and they are connected by pipelines and valves. Seals adopt packing and mechanical double seals, with good sealing performance.

A single jet mud mixer is made up of one sand pump, one jet mixing hopper that is installed in a base with pipe valves. Duplex jet mud mixer is composed of two sand pumps and two jet mixing hoppers.

How to select and what impact mud mixing hopper unit impact

First, we should confirm the treating capacity we need. And for oil and gas drilling kindly suggest a 150m³/h flow rate. Then confirm the pump, necessary pipelines and also can depend on supplier suggestion

Mixing hopper hydraulic consumption should be as little as possible, otherwise, the flow rate may decrease by too much

Distance between Venturi hopper and nozzle should be proper. The optimal distance should be 32~90mm

Output pressure should be designed properly. If the discharge port pressure is too high the flow rate of the mixing pump will be lower than expected

The higher pressure at the inlet port the higher the flow rate of the mixing hopper

The higher hopper mounted the lower mixing capacity
