Portable Mud Mixer Hopper Skid-Mounted For Ease Of Installation Venturi-Type

Summary of jet portable mud mixer

Skid-mounted for ease of installation;
Venturi-type mud mixer;
Low-maintenance requirements;
Suitable for powder and liquid mixing;
Direct discharge into mixing lines.

A jet portable mud mixer is a piece of special equipment to prepare and increase the weight of the drilling fluid 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.

Specification of APSLH series mud hopper unit

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

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 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.

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

The mud mixing tank is a part of the drilling fluid system that is comprised of other components such as mud pumps, mud hoppers, mud buckets, mud control systems, fluid routing systems, centrifugal pumps, bulk storage and transfer systems and mud monitoring systems which can be remotely monitored and adjusted for specific situations.

Drilling fluid, which consists of various components such as bentonite, polymer additives, and weighting agents in water, oil or synthetic base, have high viscosity and need sufficient pumping to ensure that the mud is completely mixed. Effective mixing and agitating maintain good mud characteristics by reducing settlement.

A properly mixed drilling fluid will help keep the borehole open and allow for smooth drilling operations. Non-homogenous muds can cause problems within the borehole such as stuck bottom hole assembly (BHA), an unstable borehole and stuck pipe.

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 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 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
