Bentonite Mud Mixer Model M-1500

The M-1500 was designed and manufactured as a dual tank system that allows the HDD Contractor two methods of mixing his Bentonite mud requirements. This system allows the operator to mix 750 gallons of full yield mud in less then eight (8) minutes, while holding 750 gallons of water reserve in the second tank for the next mix, or mix 1500 gallons of full yield mud in less then sixteen (16) minutes, in one large batch. The operator controls the two methods of mixing by changing the direction of flows through the piping connections using the manual operated full flow valves. The vacuum port located in the mixing tee has the ability to draw water from the second tank when being used as a reservoir and the drill fluid can than be sent to your drilling rig with-out the use of a second pump. This model has been a popular choice of HDD Contactors due to its small space saving footprint relative to its capacity. Other power drives available.
