The mud tank jet mixer on a separate skid connected with the mud tank(storage tank or mixing tank), it has two functions, one is mixing, the other one is agitating. Sometimes you can use the storage tank as mixing tank, one more mixing tank for mud mixing system is also feasible.
How is the bentonite mud mixer to ensure the correct quantity / consistency of bentonite to water is achieved ?
1,For mixing, firstly, water tanks are filled up, then adding bentonite from the hopper, the mixing system mix the bentonite and fluids from the pump, then goes from the blue pipe into the tank.

Before you mix the bentonite, you must know the viscosity and density of you demand, for example , you need 20m3 fluids, and density is 1.8G, you can calculate how much bentonite powder and how much water you need, then you prepare for the correct qty water and bentonite powder.
Firstly you can put the water into the mixing tank, then add the bentonite powder through the jet mixer,the powder will enter into the mixing tank , they will mix together by the mud agitator.
2,For agitating mud,shut off the valve of the blue pipe line which links to the tank top side(as in pics),and open the valve of the black tube(which links to the mud gun pipe line),the with the mud gun jet mixing pressure for mud agitating in the tanks.
Another way is to put the mud tank jet mixer on the skid of the tank, it is convenient for transportation, and easy for operation.
