IEC Certified Jet Mud Mixer with Sand Pump shipped to Australia Drilling Mixing

Recently, a batch of advanced IEC-certified jet mud mixers equipped with sand pumps has been successfully shipped to Australia. This will bring efficient and high-quality solids control solutions to the Australian oil drilling industry.

All these mud mixing units are configured with sand pumps and adopt Venturi funnel structure design, delivering remarkable advantages of fast mixing speed and no slurry backflow. As an indispensable part of the oil drilling solids control system, the equipment can quickly and effectively mix two or more different fluids to achieve the required mixing effect, greatly reducing mixing time and improving production efficiency.

In terms of energy consumption, the jet mud mixer performs exceptionally well. It only requires small amount of power to drive fluid flow, featuring low energy consumption, effective reduction of production costs, and improved energy utilization rate. It fully meets the stringent requirements and environmental standards for drilling operations in Australia.

Working Principle & Process of Jet Mud Mixer

The working principle of jet mud mixer is to inject high-pressure fluid into mixed materials to generate strong stirring and mixing effects, completely solving industry pain points of traditional mixing methods such as uneven mixing, low efficiency, and easy caking. The specific working process is as follows:

1. Power Supply: A sand pump (multiple pumps can be configured as needed) provides core power. After being pressurized and accelerated by the sand pump, the fluid is stably delivered to the nozzle of the jet mud mixer to form high-pressure jet.

2. Material Suction: The side or top of the suction chamber is connected to the drilling fluid additive hopper through a feed pipeline. Utilizing the vacuum suction generated when the high-pressure jet passes through the nozzle, significant pressure difference is formed with the external atmospheric pressure, which serves as the power to automatically and continuously suck powdered or granular materials from the hopper into the suction chamber.

3. Intensive Mixing: The sucked dry powder materials quickly integrate into high-speed fluid. In the throat pipe and subsequent diffuser pipe, the fluid and materials undergo intense hydraulic shear, impact, and turbulence effects to achieve full mixing and energy conversion.

4. Finished Product Discharge: The qualified slurry after intense mixing and energy conversion is discharged at specific pressure from the outlet designed in the diffuser pipe, directly flowing into the drilling fluid tank for subsequent recycling or immediate use.

The jet mud mixer adopts customized installation configuration: one or more sand pumps are connected with one or more jet mixing funnels through manifold valves and installed on the same base to realize integrated operation. It also supports combined or separate installation of the weighting funnel and sand pump, which are flexibly connected through manifold valves. This design can adapt to the spatial layout and operation process requirements of different drilling sites, greatly improving the equipment's applicability and operational flexibility.

When high-pressure fluid passes through the nozzle, its speed increases and pressure decreases. This high-speed and low-pressure jet can generate strong impact force and shear force, enabling materials to be fully mixed in an instant. It can adjust drilling fluid density, viscosity, fluid loss, etc., and achieves more prominent results when used with shear pumps, providing strong support for drilling fluid performance adjustment.

Advantages of Jet Mud Mixer

Featuring high efficiency, high quality, and simple operation, the mixer is directly driven by fluid kinetic energy without intermediate transmission components, resulting in extremely high energy conversion efficiency and thus greatly accelerating the mud mixing speed.

1. High Efficiency & Speed: The jet mud mixer can complete the mud mixing process in short time, significantly improving work efficiency.

2. Uniform Mixing: Due to the strong stirring effect of the jet, materials can achieve more uniform mixing, ensuring stable and reliable product quality.

3. Wide Application Range: Suitable for various types of drilling fluid material mixing needs. Whether it is the mixing of powdered or granular additives with fluids, it can achieve ideal results with strong versatility.

4. Easy Operation: The device has reasonable structural design and simple and easy-to-understand operation process, reducing the technical threshold for operators.

5. Strong Compliance: Strictly designed and manufactured in accordance with IEC standards, complying with relevant Australian industry regulations and environmental requirements, and can be directly put into local drilling operations.

As an important part of the drilling solids control system, the IEC-certified jet mud mixer with sand pump is suitable for drilling links that require rapid adjustment of drilling fluid performance and efficient material mixing. Whether it is conventional oil drilling or drilling operations under complex geological conditions, the device can stably exert mixing advantages, providing reliable guarantee for the smooth progress of drilling operations.
