High shear and low shear mud mixing skid

Dual-Shear Mixing Skid: The Ultimate Solution for Drilling Fluid Additive Blending

Product Overview
Our Dual-Shear Mixing Skid revolutionizes drilling fluid additive blending by seamlessly integrating high-shear and low-shear mixing technologies into a single, compact unit. Designed for efficiency, precision, and versatility, this skid ensures optimal dispersion and hydration of drilling fluid additives—whether polymers, viscosifiers, weighting agents, or specialty chemicals—to meet the demanding requirements of modern drilling operations.

Key Features

1. Dual-Shear Hybrid Design

   • High-Shear Mixing Zone: Rapidly breaks down agglomerates and ensures uniform dispersion of additives using intense mechanical energy, minimizing clumping and accelerating hydration.
     

   • Low-Shear Mixing Zone: Gently maintains fluid stability and preserves additive integrity, ideal for shear-sensitive materials or maintaining desired rheological properties.
     

     3. Adaptive Process Control

     • Intelligent automation adjusts shear rates, mixing time, and flow parameters based on real-time viscosity and additive type, delivering consistent results across diverse fluid formulations.
       
       
       

2. Compact & Modular Build

   • Engineered for easy integration into existing rig systems or standalone deployment. Skid-mounted design reduces footprint and simplifies transportation for onshore and offshore applications.

3. Robust Construction

   • Corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., stainless steel, hardened alloys) ensure durability in harsh environments. Sealed components prevent contamination and extend service life.

4. Energy-Efficient Operation

   • Optimized power consumption reduces operational costs while maintaining peak performance.

Technical Specifications

• Capacity: Configurable from 500 to 2,000 liters per batch (customizable).

• Shear Range: Adjustable 5,000–15,000 rpm (high-shear), 50–500 rpm (low-shear).

• Power Supply: Electric or hydraulic drive options.

• Pressure Rating: Up to 150 psi.

• Control System: Touchscreen HMI with PLC integration for recipe management and data logging.

Applications

• Polymer Hydration: Achieve full polymer activation without degradation.

• Weighted Mud Preparation: Homogeneous blending of barite, hematite, or other weighting agents.

• Specialty Fluid Mixing: Precise incorporation of LCM (lost circulation materials), lubricants, or shale inhibitors.

• On-the-Fly Adjustments: Real-time additive dosing and mixing during drilling operations.
