1. tank top mud gun:
Tank top mud gun is usually with function of agitating, together with mud agitator, they are important equipments for drilling mud tank and mud mixing tank. And how many sets of agitator you have for the mud mixing tank, usually how many mud guns you have. But it also have exception, for example, when the tank room is very small, you have no room for the agitator, and the tank is not so large, you can use a mud gun instead, it is much cheaper, needs smaller area to install and convenient to operate, also do not need to use electric power, but use pressure to work, and you do not need to buy a lot of spare parts such as gear box, bearings for the mud agitator. Anyway mud gun has a lot of advantages but it can not replace mud agitator totally, the agitating effect is not so strong as agitator. We need to use them together to benefit from both of them.
2. Tank bottom mud gun:
Tank bottom mud gun also called inner tank mud gun, its function usually not agitating, but transferring and mixing line. It transfers the mud from mud mixing tank to another tank.
Where is the pressure come from ?
For high pressure mud gun, the pressure came from mud pump, for lower pressure mud gun, the pressure came from mixing pump, it can mix and transfer drilling mud to another tank.
At present, LAKE can produce 2 and 3 mud gun, both of them with 3 nozzles, it can be made into manual rotary type or fixed type, it is optional. And we will choose high pressure mud gun or low pressure mud gun according to the actual situation of clients.
For example, oilfield drilling mud solids control system usually use high pressure mud gun with high pressure gate valves. The HDD mud recycling system can use a low pressure mud gun which is much cheaper.
