⚙️ 1. What Is the Jet Shearing Device System?

The Jet Shearing Device System is a specialized mud mixing equipment used in oilfield operations for the preparation of drilling fluids. It combines venturi jet shearing technology with precision flow dynamics to mix and shear polymers such as PAC, CMC, and PHPA.
Working alongside a hopper and tank, it ensures a homogeneous drilling fluid mixture—eliminating lumps, enhancing polymer hydration, and maintaining stable viscosity. Its low-pressure, high-volume design makes it ideal for on-site and continuous mud system operations.

🌪️ 2. How the Jet Shearing Device System Works

This drilling mud mixing system operates on the venturi jet principle, generating high-velocity fluid jets that induce turbulence. As the drilling fluid passes through a nozzle, it creates intense shear forces that:

  • Break down long-chain polymers

  • Achieve rapid polymer hydration

  • Prevent “fish eyes” and clumping

  • Disperse dry and liquid additives evenly

  • Maintain consistent mud viscosity

The Jet Shearing Device System achieves all this without moving parts, ensuring minimal wear, quiet operation, and outstanding durability.

💡 3. Key Advantages of Jet Shearing Device System

✅ Instant polymer hydration and uniform mixing
✅ Enhances drilling mud stability and rheology
✅ Reduces mixing time and energy usage
✅ Works seamlessly with hoppers and tanks
✅ Compact, skid-mounted, and easy to install
✅ Virtually maintenance-free—no rotating components
✅ Improves mud system performance and reduces additive waste
By integrating this polymer shearing equipment, drilling teams can prepare fluids faster, improve mud consistency, and lower overall chemical consumption—boosting productivity on-site.

🧪 4. Typical Applications
