The simplicity of design and multiple configuration options of the FM5 accommodate a variety of setups and make transport easy. With the FM5, "easy" is the operative term. It even has a built-in bag ripper.
Venturi wet hopper allows excellent mixing of fluids; the hopper's steeper sides help speed up mixing cycles.
Narrow tank can be positioned side-by-side with a drill unit on a trailer, making the equipment easy to transport to the jobsite.

Specifications are general and subject to change without notice. If exact measurements are required, equipment should be weighed and measured. Due to selected options, delivered equipment may not necessarily match that shown. *42-second viscosity fluid delivered at 30 psi (2.1 bar) through 3 in x 50 ft (76 mm x 15 m) hose. Note: Delivered (charge) pressure is 30-50 psi (2.1-3.4 bar) depending on pump speed, selection and flow rates.
When you're mixing it up with the big boys, the high-volume, high-efficiency FM50 has the ideal blend of features you need to complete your HDD job. Each of the FM50's two 1000-gallon (3785 L) mixing tanks has its own pump, making it easy to deliver drilling fluid to your HDD units.
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.
