    Getting Connected With The Dual Suction LOBESTAR SHEAR/MIXER

    Dust generated while mixing drilling fluid products in drilling rig mud
    rooms can be prevented with the DUAL SUCTION LOBESTAR®
    SHEAR/MIXER. The DUST CONTAINMENT ASSEMBLY provides a
    hermetical seal between the surge tank (teardrop) and the LOBESTAR®
    SHEAR/MIXER. Bulk Barite and Bulk Bentonite can be rapidly delivered
    and mixed at a regulated rate in a “Dust-Free” environment.

    ®
    The LOBESTAR DUST CONTAINMENT ASSEMBLY can be
    retrofitted to any existing surge tanks.

    “Mass - in - Motion through Geomerty”

    The V-SLIDE SURGE HOPPER provides a


    continuous and uniform mass-flow of powders and
    granular materials. This is accomplished by the
    internal geometric configuration of the V-SLIDE.
    The elliptical shape interrupts the uniform stress
    TOP VIEW
    that is inherent in a circular discharge on Surge
    Tanks and Silos. Changing the circumferential 12.75”
    stress prevents bridging and “ratholing” that inhibits 2” 12”
    the continuous flow of bulk solids.

    The V-SLIDE SURGE HOPPER coupled with the


    LOBESTAR® SHEAR/MIXER effectively and
    significantly decreases mixing time in the building, 2”
    maintaining, and increasing density of drilling fluids. 6”

    V-SLIDE SURGE HOPPER DIMENSIONS

    The V-SLIDE SURGE HOPPER and LOBESTAR®


    SHEAR/MIXER are the impetus for speed mixing
    and long distance delivery between the bulk tanks
    and the mud system.

    Bridging, plugging, and rat-holing occurs when the
    SIGHTGLASS material uniformly compacts against itself at the
    apex while flowing from the surge tank. The V-
    SLIDE SURGE HOPPER eliminates the apex
    stress points that cause bridging, plugging, and rat-
    RADIAL PREMIXER holing.
