Venturi/Eductor Mineral Induction Mixer
Purpose
Use a controlled water stream to draw a fine, conditioned mineral feed into a side stream without sending raw sediment through the main water pump.
Operating concept
A water-powered eductor creates suction at a sealed solids or slurry inlet; the induced stream enters a downstream mixing tube with anti- backflow isolation.
Key assemblies
water motive inlet; eductor throat; sealed feed inlet; anti-backflow valve; feed isolation; mixing tube; pressure taps; bypass/purge manifold
Operating sequence
establish water-only flow → verify downstream pressure → open bounded feed → induce material → mix through tube → measure output → close feed and water-purge
Instrumentation
water flow; mineral feed rate; ratio proxy; mixed-stream pressure
Safeguards
preserve water-only bypass; prevent dry running; provide sample, drain, and clean-water purge points
Failure modes and mitigations
backflow into feeder; loss of suction; throat erosion; plugging; ratio sensitivity to pressure
Variants
dry-powder eductor; pre-slurry eductor; portable inline unit; multi- eductor manifold; recirculation eductor
Validation gates
water-only baseline; ratio repeatability; settling/bridging trial; complete purge demonstration
