Use and maintenance of mud mixing hopper

1. Use of mud mixing hopper

When working, close the butterfly valve at the bottom of the funnel. Start the pump circulation. After the pump circulation is normal, slowly open the butterfly valve to observe whether the jet water column is normal. If there is no overflow, you can add drilling fluid materials from the funnel.

Be careful not to remove the filter when adding materials to prevent foreign objects such as packaging bags or gloves from falling into the hopper and clogging the hopper.

After the addition is completed, the slurry pump should circulate for a few minutes to clean all the drilling fluid materials, then close the butterfly valve at the bottom of the funnel, stop the pump, and the addition work is completed.

2. Maintenance of mud mixing hopper

After each use, the solid materials inside the funnel cavity and the butterfly valve seal must be rinsed clean to prevent the funnel from clogging and the butterfly valve from sealing tightly. After cleaning, close the butterfly valve.
