2. How the Jet Shearing Device System Works
The device operates on the principle of high-velocity fluid jets generated through a venturi or multi-jet nozzle. When drilling fluid passes through the nozzle, it creates intense turbulence that:
- Breaks long-chain polymers (PAC, CMC, PHPA)
- Mixes dry and liquid additives uniformly
- Enhances dispersion and hydration speed
- Prevents polymer clumping or “fish eyes”
- Ensures consistent drilling mud viscosity
This drilling fluid shearing mixer uses no moving parts, which means minimal maintenance and consistent operation under challenging field conditions.
3. Key Advantages of Jet Shearing Device System
✅ Instant polymer hydration and shearing
✅ Improves drilling fluid performance and quality
✅ Eliminates lumps, settling, and poor dispersion
✅ Works seamlessly with hoppers and mixing tanks
✅ Compact, skid-mounted, and energy-efficient design
✅ Extremely low maintenance and no rotating components
✅ Reduces mixing time significantly
By integrating this Jet Shearing Device System, operators experience faster mud preparation and lower overall chemical consumption.
4. Typical Applications
This drilling mud mixing system is suitable for various operations, including:
- Drilling mud preparation for oil and gas wells
- Polymer hydration and shearing for PHPA, PAC, and CMC
- Bentonite dispersion and solids suspension
- Field and laboratory mixing applications
- Water-based drilling fluid systems
It is ideal for any oilfield operation that requires reliable and efficient shearing performance.
