Drilling shear pump

Hello everyone! Today I will introduce a very important centrifugal pump in the oilfield drilling solids control system-mud shear pump.

This HJQ65 series shear pump is a special pump for shearing polymer (or clays). To improve the drill fluid properties, the polymers (or clays) should be highly sheared before adding them to the drill fluid system. If not sheared, the polymers maybe jam the shale shaker screens and will result in losing amount of polymer and increasing drilling costs, and the large-size solids in the drill fluid will harden and difficult to clear away as well.

HJQ6x5 series shear pump has excellent performance, it has proven best for applying the high shear necessary to hydrate polymers (or clays )and to their best properties. Using this shear pump can reduce the bentonite clay needed by 30% or more and polymer needed by 15% or more, saving mud materials and shortening mud weighting time. This shear pump cannot be used in an activated mud system because the solids and barite in the mud will easily damage the shear pump when operating.

The shear pump adopts a set of mechanical seal for no leakage at stuffing box. Inside pump is a stainless steel turbine containing 44 nozzles, 4 scoops and shear plate. Fifty percent of the fluid is sheared twice each time through the pump.

This turbine shear pump is mounted on a special base and driven by a pulley, a narrow V-belt and an explosion proof motor. It can be used together with a mud mixing hopper to form a complete shear and hydration system.
