GBM Lube Pumps

When it comes to mud/fluid mixing, what matters most is aggressive agitation, a homogeneous blend, capacity, and powerful pump flow.

Our Bentonite and Lubrication systems are designed to fully hydrate your mixtures in less time with the pumping capacities required to enhance distances. They’re used on various projects, including guided boring, microtunneling, tunneling operations, conventional auger boring, HDD, and any application involving high viscosity heavy fluid mixing.

Safety and reliability are at the forefront with each design with features like a shrouded agitator, no belts, step‐up access to the tank, a mud supply platform, an in‐line suction strainer, and tank. A simple control panel and an in‐shaft control pendant complete the package.

FEATURES:

  • Pump water or water with mud for fluid mixing.
  • Aggressive in‑tank agitator maintains a homogeneous mixture with continuous, independent, or combined agitate‑and‑pump modes.
  • Hydraulically driven, high pressure with relief valve.
  • Pressure is adjusted to match tooling requirements.
  • In‑shaft control pendant allows operators to vary flow and pressure as needed.
  • Sized to provide enough supply for the duration of the shift.
  • Easy connection to mud/fluid supply.

Testimonials

We do not own or use any pipe jacking equipment other than Akkerman. Their equipment has been used to jack RCP pipe, Hobas pipe & Steel casing from lengths as short as 50LF to distances up to 1000LF. From diameters starting at 42″ ID up to 108″ ID US

Not all of our work is constructed trouble free. Akkerman has always helped us through any issue we may have and treated us fairly. We have been impressed with Akkerman’s growth over the years and have long term friends there as well.
