Jet Shear Systems

Using our unique history as a provider of performance chemicals, KEM-TRON has developed a line of drilling mud jet shear systems designed to provide the greatest available efficiency in blending. Jet shear systems are designed to use hydraulic shear to efficiently mix solids with liquids. KEM-TRON’s jet shear systems ensure efficient and mixing of soluble polymers and bentonite used in water-based drilling fluids, therefore eliminating “fish eyes”. Drilling fluid yield and gel strength properties are instantly obtained with hydraulic shearing of bentonite or organophilic clays.

The addition of liquid additives is made easy with the incorporation of an injection port into the jet pump. This port is capable of handling liquid additives such as; lubricants, polyacrylamides, and oil-wetting emulsifiers. By incorporating an in-line mixer, the operator is given the choice of imparting low shear into the drilling mud. When the appropriate level of mixing is imparted into the drilling mud, polymers are efficiently used, therefore lowering additive costs.

Though each KEM-TRON system is fully capable of ensuring homogenous drilling mud, the greatest value is KEM-TRON’s in-house engineering team with the ability to meet each customer’s needs through system customization. As needed to meet specific customer needs, custom hoppers, chemical injection systems, and operator control systems can be provided. All systems are designed to be fully compliant with ISO 9001 and European CE Machinery Directive standards.
