Rapid mixing occurs when water is confined to the mixing hopper in a turbulent state and mixes with the bulk cement particles. Water is pumped through the manifold, while dry bulk cement is gravity loaded into the mixer's hopper. Under pressure, water is sprayed through orifice three nozzles into the mixing chamber at the bottom of the hopper. The turbulent water flow quickly mixes with the cement. The cement then flows through the discharge line into the mixing drum, which is located where the slurry is received from the mixer. The cement mixture is then pumped out of the mixing drum by a centrifugal pump, which delivers the cement into the pump's tank. The slurry can then be mixed to the desired density and other properties in the pump's storage tank and pumped to the wellhead and downhole.
Ideal for breweries and the beverage, dairy, personal care and biopharmaceutical industries, it effectively handles liquid mixing, gas dispersion, powder mixing and tank cleaning while reducing mixing time, energy consumption and cost.
