The ‘High/Low Shear Tank Mixer’ is installed vertically inside a tank for premixing drilling fluids when required quickly or for maintaining suspension of inert solids. Drilling fluid additives can be efficiently mixed directly into the tank. The rotor-stator design of this mixer operates with a high speed rotor that turns inside a stationary stator. The rotor draws solid and liquid components into the high speed impeller and expels it laterally at high speed through openings in the stator. Intense mechanical shear occurs at the point where the rotor blade crosses each opening in the stator.
Variable frequency drives are installed for controlling the rotor speed.
Easy to install rotor and stator designs, allow for this tank mixer to operate beyond the capabilities of a conventional mixer.
