M3-G
Venturi Mixing Tee
The Venturi Mixing Tee is the very heart of this system and requires very little maintenance. However
M3-G parts may wear as a result of the application in time and require replacement. This wear will become
evident, when the operator notices a reduction in vacuum. The M3-G is also equipped with a pressure wand
for clearing obstructions and build-up in the jetting tee. It is recommended that the jetting tee be cleaned
with the wash wand after the introduction of material into the hopper.
AVOID allowing foreign material into the Venturi Mixing Tee thru the hopper i.e.: bag parts, stones,
leaves etc. by keeping the valve closed at all times.
NEVER allow fingers or objects such as sticks, screwdrivers, metal bars etc. to enter the tee in an
attempt to clear it. Serious personal injury or damage to the butterfly valve will result.
IT is imperative that the suction connections do not leak. The M3-G uses the vacuum created by the
venturi jetting to draw fresh water into the reservoir tank.
IF the intent is to take water from a ditch or pond, it is recommended that a very fine screen be
placed over the inlet of the hose, to stop the introduction of foreign material into the M3-G system.
Dry Hopper and Table
The Dry Hopper and Table are used during the initial mixing of the dry material and water. The hopper and
table require very little daily maintenance, however care should be used that this unit does not become
overloaded. There should never
be more than 100 lb. in or on the hopper and table at any time. The hopper
and table are not a ladder, and should not be climbed on or sat on, damage can result. The wash wand may
be used to clean inside the hopper.
The 3 inch butterfly valve must be kept free of dried Bentonite, ice or other buildups to reduce the chance of
damage during opening and closing. The valve operates more smoothly if the surfaces are kept damp or wet.
All valves are to be opened and closed by hand. DO NOT FORCE ANY VALVE OPEN OR CLOSED
,
visually check the valve if a problem occurs!
AVOID allowing foreign material into the Venturi Mixing Tee thru the hopper i.e.: bag parts, stones,
leaves etc. by keeping the valve closed at all times.
Tank Internal Jet Gun(s) (customer installed)
The Tank Internal Jet Gun(s) are to be located inside of a reservoir tank, Their function is to keep the slurry
product in the tank moving. This function assures the elimination of dead spots in the tank. The “Tank Gun”
valve should always be in the open position. The jet gun(s) requires little or no maintenance and will only
require attention if the jets become clogged. Flushing the entire system weekly with clear water should
eliminate any problems with this piece of the system.
The tank jet gun(s) also acts as a relief valve to the system and relieves the pressure spikes caused when the
flow to the drill rig or another reservoir tank, is interrupted.
ENTERING a tank is not recommended. Serious injury could result.
