The Model K1-CR Ball Drop Cement Retainer is a high quality tool for squeeze cementing. The sleeve valve is controlled from the surface by simply picking up to close and setting down to open.
There are no springs, latches or sliding valves to complicate the operation. A simple ball-drop acts as a one-way valve to prevent back flow of fluids from the formation up the well.
The internal surface of the retainer is finished to receive a seal nipple for cementing. The ball-drop valve is located at the bottom. The retainer sustains high pressure and temperatures.
