Pengaduk Lumpur Hopper

The drilling fluid hopper mud mixer is an important part of the drilling fluid solid control system and a commonly used liquid mixing device. It generally combines with a shear pump to form a shear mixing device or a sand pump to form a jet mixing device. We mainly use it to prepare drilling fluid and change the drilling fluid’s density, viscosity, and acidity. In the event of an emergency blowout, the drilling fluid jet mixing funnel can evenly mix a large amount of weighting materials in a short time. The jet mixing funnel is just one of the many names of the funnel. The industry also calls it: feeding funnel, venturi funnel, jet mixing funnel, weighting funnel, etc. No matter what you call it, its function remains unchanged: to prepare drilling fluid so its performance meets the drilling site’s requirements.

Hopper mud mixer structure

The main components of the hopper mud mixer include nozzle, mixing chamber, venturi tube, feeding hopper and butterfly valve. The high-speed flowing liquid enters the nozzle from the inlet reducer and sprays into the mixing chamber at a faster speed. At the same time, the mud material you need to add enters the mixing chamber from the feeder hopper and mixes with the liquid.
The mixed mud then enters the mud tank or other storage equipment through the venturi.

Mud mixer hopper function

The main function of the mud funnel is to quickly and evenly mix the drilling fluid with its additives (such as barite powder, bentonite, salt, mud chemical additives, etc.). This mixing process optimizes the quality of the drilling fluid, gives full play to the role of the additives, and reduces the amount of additives, thereby saving mud costs. In addition, the mud funnel has the characteristics of fast feeding speed and strong mixing ability, which can meet the needs of different drilling conditions.

Mud hopper type

There are many types of mud funnels, including single-jet mixers and double-jet mixers. Single-jet mixing funnels are suitable for conventional drilling conditions, while double-jet mixing funnels are suitable for situations where the drilling mud processing volume is large. These devices can be selected and configured according to specific needs.

In general, the mud funnel is an efficient and practical mud mixing equipment that can improve the quality of drilling fluid, reduce mud costs, and improve drilling efficiency. It has broad application prospects in oil field drilling and other related fields.
