KEY FEATURES,

FM50

Isolated gen set is quiet enough (only 100 dbA) to work in noise-sensitive areas; engine can be located away from the mixing station, further reducing noise exposure to the operator.
Efficient mixing system yields up to 16 bags/2000 gal (7570 L) in less than 8 minutes.

The tank's sloping bottom ensures that all drilling fluid flows through the pump and is thoroughly mixed.
Auxiliary power outlets that can run a battery charger, heaters, lights or other tools eliminate the need for a separate jobsite generator.
Tanks have separate mixing hoppers for dry and liquid additives.

Flexible set-up configurations: mounted on a trailer, truck, or other means of transport; with one or two mixing stands or tanks; and/or with the power source at either end.
Supports HDD systems of all sizes.
