Product Description
The jet hopper is a type of mixing funnels, which is used to add drilling fluid materials such as bentonite and barite powder and related chemical additives such as polymers.HL Petroleum manufactures HLD series mud hoppers for clients worldwide.HLD150 is the most widely model, with mixing capacity 240m³/h.
Work Principle
According to the jet principle. The hopper is also used for medium pressure operation.
Hopper Structure
The jet hopper mainly consists of a feeding hopper, a butterfly valve, a venturi pipe, a mixing chamber and a nozzle.

A. After the jet funnel finish mixing, the pressure loss is very large. In order to make the drilling fluid mixed by the jet funnel be able to be directly discharged into the mud tank, the funnel is usually installed on the top of the mud tanks (i.e. high-position installation), and the mixed drilling fluid is directly discharged into the mud tank without climbing.
Once the jet funnel is installed at a high position, it is necessary to design a hoist or cantilever crane to lift the drilling fluid additives to the top of the mud tank.
B. When the jet funnel is installed at a low position, a reasonable climbing angle should be designed, and the outlet should be directly connected to the mud tank to prevent the drilling fluid from overflowing from the funnel.
The jet funnel is usually directly driven by an electric centrifugal pump to mix the mud. When the mixing effect is not good, it is necessary to adjust the distance between the jet funnel nozzle and the outlet end face to achieve the best mixing effect.
Use
When working, close the butterfly valve at the bottom of the funnel. Start the centrifugal pump circulation, after the pump circulation is normal, slowly open the butterfly valve, and observe whether the jet water column is normal. If there is no overflow, then you can add drilling fluid materials from the funnel.
When adding materials, be careful not to remove the filter screen to prevent foreign objects such as packaging bags or gloves from falling into the funnel and clogging the funnel.
After the addition is completed, the centrifugal pump should circulate for a few more minutes to clean all the additives, then close the butterfly valve at the bottom of the funnel, stop the pump.
Maintenance of the jet venturi mud hopper
After each use, the solid materials inside the hopper mixing chamber and the butterfly valve seal must be rinsed clean to prevent the funnel from being blocked and the butterfly valve from being sealed tightly.
Close the butterfly valve when finishing the cleaning.
