The OFI Model 20 Constant Speed Blender facilitates the preparation of oil well cements for testing according to the guidelines stated within API Specification 10
GENERAL:
The OFI Model 20 Constant Speed Blender facilitates the preparation of oil well cements for testing according to the guidelines stated within API Specification 10. Research has demonstrated that the properties of well cements are highly dependent upon mixing procedures and when constant speed blenders/mixers are used, data obtained from thickening time tests has greater reproducibility and generally correlates better with data obtained from other laboratories. The OFI Model 20 provides a means of consistently preparing cement slurries for testing purposes and can also be utilized to mix cements according to the procedures stated by the API.Hardened stainless steel Mixing Blades
Stainless steel 1 Liter Mixing Container
Two Preset Mixing Speeds and Variable Speed
Rotational Speed is Maintained at Set Point with microprocessor
Timing Relays Automatically Control Mixing Times at Required rpm
Digital Instrumentation Provides Excellent Readibility

The proper amount of mix water is carefully weighed and poured into the mixing container of the blender. The rotational speed is set to 4000 rpm and allowed to stabilize. The "TEST" switch is pressed and the cement is immediately added to the mix water in less than 15 seconds. The rotational speed is automatically increased to 12,000 rpm and the slurry is mixed an additional 35 seconds. A microprocessor maintains the rotational speed and is independent of fluctuations in line voltage and the viscosity of the cement slurry.
