Jet mud mixer is the corresponding equipment of solids control system, which meets the needs of solids control drilling fluids weighting and compounding in case of different drilling depth. It is combined with a sand pump ( or many sets ) and a jet mixing hopper ( or many sets ), connected by manifold and valve then installed on a base. Aggravated hopper and sand pump can be connected by manifold and valve, or installed separately.

Jet mud mixer is designed for efficient mixing bentonite, polymers and other powder additives with drilling fluids to control the density, viscosity of mud. If working with mud shear pump, it can show much greater performance.

 Factors That Affect Jet Mud Mixer Performance:

1. Mixed hopper hydraulic linear loss should be tried to reduce, otherwise the treating capacity may be decreased greatly.
 

2. The gap between nozzle and venturi tube must be suitable, when optimum efficiency is reached, the gap is between 32~90mm, which usually isn’t more than 90 mm, otherwise the feed speed of barite will be significantly reduced.

3. The return pressure of outlet pipe needs moderating; to overlarge return pressure will reduce the treating capacity of mixed hopper.

4. The higher the inlet pressure is, the larger the treating capacity of mixed hopper is.

5. The taller the mixed hopper is installed, the higher the return pressure is and the mixed capacity will be reduced.

KOSUN has a complete line of mud mixing equipment designed to assist operators with the greatest available efficiency in blending. Bentonite, polymers and other powder additives have traditionally been added to assist in achieving the properties needed from drilling mud such as viscosity for cleaning the hole, controlling the water loss and forming the filter cake. On weighted mud applications, the ability to handle barite during potential blow-out applications is even more important. KOSUN Jet Mud Mixer consists of mechanical seal mixing pump and venture hoppers. If it is used with a shear pump together, the effect will be more excellent, it can be designed as double jet mud mixer according to customers’ requirements. And installation for the mixing pump and hoppers are flexible from KOSUN, either on a single skid or at tank end skid or even separately with hopper on tank top, and pump at tank side. All flexible design is to make the complete mud system compact and user friendly.

KOSUN can also supply other solids control equipment, such as shale shaker, mud cleaner, decanter centrifuge, desander, desilter, they are all highly efficient equipment.
