ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for introducing an additive into a drilling mud system, which includes a hopper for containing the additive mounted substantially over a flow line for the flow of mud from the system therethrough. The hopper has a funnel-shaped lower portion terminating in a neck connected to the flow line. The neck of the funnel-shaped lower portion has a variable size orifice to control the rate of the flow of additive therethrough. A nozzle is provided in the flow line substantially below the neck for mixing the additive with the mud. A vibrator is provided for vibrating the lower portion of the hopper to encourage movement of the additive toward the neck. An air nozzle is provided for fluidizing the additive.
