Jet Mud Mixer

The TR Jet Mud Mixer is a complete drilling fluid mixing unit with a centrifugal pump, jet hopper, manifold, and valves. It is installed beside the mud tank for drilling fluid preparation, mud weighting, and additive mixing, allowing barite, bentonite, polymers, and other drilling fluid additives to be introduced into the circulating mud.

The main components can be mounted on a common skid for easy rig-up, or installed separately when the tank layout requires it. In this arrangement, the hopper sits on the mud tank while the pump is positioned alongside it.

A standalone Jet Hopper needs an external pump, while the TR Jet Mud Mixer includes the pump, manifold, and valves as part of the complete mixing unit.

Advantages of Jet Mud Mixing Unit

1. Single or dual units : One or two pump-and-hopper sets cover different additive feed requirements.

2. Venturi mixing : Dry additives enter the fluid stream through the jet nozzle and disperse into the mud.

3. Skid or separate installation : The pump and hopper fit on one skid or around the mud tank as separate components.

4. Pump sealing options : Gland packing and double mechanical seals are available for the centrifugal pump.

5. Shear pump option : An additional shear pump adds particle shearing during mixing.

6. Project-specific electrical setup : Motor and electrical components can be specified for the installation.

How the Jet Mud Mixer Works

The centrifugal pump sends drilling fluid through the jet hopper under pressure. The high-velocity flow at the nozzle creates the Venturi effect, drawing dry additives into the fluid stream.

The additives disperse into the mud before the mixed fluid returns to the mud tank. Pump flow and pressure should match the selected nozzle and additive feed rate for stable mixing.

Applications

The TR Jet Mud Mixer is used in drilling fluid preparation and weighting systems across oilfield and trenchless applications.

• Oil and gas drilling

  Used for drilling fluid preparation and weighting at oilfield drilling sites.

• HDD Mud Recycling

  Adds bentonite and other additives during drilling mud preparation.

• CBM & Other Drilling

  Introduces weighting agents and drilling fluid additives into the circulating mud.

Selection Guide

Start with the required mud flow and additive feed rate, then check the mud properties, tank layout, and power supply for the installation.

• Capacity: 60–240 m³/h

• Additive feed rate: up to 60, 80, or 100 kg/min, depending on model

• Maximum mud weight: up to 2.0–2.8 g/cm³, depending on model

• Marsh funnel viscosity: up to 80–120 s, depending on model

• Unit arrangement: Single or dual

• Installation: Common skid or separate pump and hopper arrangement
  

• Electrical setup: Power supply, motor type, and explosion-proof requirements
  

FAQ

• Can the Jet Mud Mixer be connected to an existing mud tank?

  Yes. The pump and hopper can be arranged to suit the existing tank layout.

• What is the difference between single and dual units?

  A single unit uses one pump-and-hopper set. A dual unit uses two sets for higher additive feed rates.

• Can explosion-proof electrical equipment be fitted?

  Yes. Explosion-proof motors and electrical components can be configured to meet site requirements.
