What is the function of mud gun

The main function of the mud gun is to stir the drilling fluid in the mud tank to prevent the drilling fluid from settling.

Mud guns, also called drilling fluid guns or mud tank cleaning guns, play an important role in solid control systems. Its main functions include:

Stirring the drilling fluid in the mud tank: The high-speed liquid impact generated by the mud gun through its nozzle can suspend the sediment at the bottom of the drilling fluid storage tank, thereby preventing the drilling fluid from settling.

Preventing drilling fluid from settling: Through continuous stirring, the mud gun can ensure that the drilling fluid remains uniform and avoids sedimentation, which is crucial to maintaining the efficiency and safety of drilling operations.

Cleaning residual objects in the mud tank: The mud gun can flush and stir the dead corners in the mud tank, clean up residual objects, keep the tank clean, and extend the service life of the tank.

In addition, mud guns are divided into high and low pressure. The high-pressure gun is supplied by the branch flow discharged by the drilling pump, and the low-pressure gun is supplied by the centrifugal sand pump. Its technical parameters include model, specification, working pressure, etc. The specific configuration should be determined according to the number of agitators. The power source of the mud gun can be a drilling pump or a centrifugal sand pump, depending on the usage scenario and needs.
