How to install the jet mud hopper

The jet mud mixing hopper is basically the same as the water and mud mixing hopper used in cementing in terms of structure or principle. It is mainly composed of a nozzle, a mixing chamber, a venturi tube, a feeding hopper and a butterfly valve. The Venturi tube is a hollow tube that gradually expands according to a certain curved surface. Its main function is to increase the shear force of the liquid in the tube, so that the material can be better dispersed and the pressure of the mixed liquid is increased, so as to enter the circulation tank.

  

Installation of the jet mud hopper

After the jet funnel mixing is completed, the pressure loss is very large, so that the drilling fluid can be directly discharged into the drilling fluid tank after being mixed by the jet funnel. The funnel is usually installed on the top of the drilling fluid tank (ie, high-level installation), so that the mixed drilling fluid can be directly discharged into the drilling fluid tank without climbing.

After the jet funnel is installed at a high position, a hoist or cantilever crane to lift the drilling fluid material needs to be designed to lift the drilling fluid material to the top of the drilling fluid tank.

When the jet funnel is installed at a low position, a reasonable climbing angle should be designed, and the outlet should directly enter the drilling fluid tank to prevent the drilling fluid from overflowing from the funnel.

The jet mud funnel is usually directly driven by an electric mixing pump for mixing. When the mixing effect is not good, the distance between the jet funnel nozzle and the outlet end face needs to be adjusted to achieve the best mixing effect.
