What is the function and working principle of mud hopper

What is the function and working principle of mud hopper? The jet mixing funnel is a liquid dispensing device, but the function and principle of the funnel may not be very clear to everyone. Today, HL's editor will tell you about it.

What is the function of the mud hopper?

To configure or increase the total amount of drilling fluid, change the density, viscosity and water loss of drilling fluid, it is necessary to put the drilling fluid material (bentonite, barite powder) and the corresponding chemical additives (polymers, etc.) into the circulation tank. Direct input will cause a large amount of precipitation or block, and it will not be well mixed, so a mixing device is required. The mixing funnel is set up for adding these materials.

What is the principle of the mud hopper?

The mud hopper can be divided into a jet mud hopper and a cyclone mud hopper according to its mixing principle. The jet mud hopper is designed according to the jet principle; the cyclone mud hopper is designed according to the centrifugal cyclone mixing principle. The jet mixing funnel is used more on site, and it can also be mixed with a drilling pump. Therefore, it can be applied to medium-pressure operations. The cyclone mixing funnel can only be used for low-pressure mixing.

Through the above introduction, everyone should have a better understanding of the relevant knowledge of the funnel. Xi'an HL Petroleum Equipment Co., Ltd. produces solid control equipment such as mixing funnels and jet mixing devices. Welcome to purchase. Email: sales@hlsolidscontrol.com
