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 by continuous mixing, independent agitation or agitate and pump
- Hydraulically‐driven, high pressure with relief valve
- Pressure is adjusted to match tooling requirements
- In‐shaft control pendant comes standard with each assembly and 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
12 years ago, we purchased our first Akkerman equipment. We own two Akkerman TBM spreads and we have nothing but favorable things to say about Akkerman and their equipment.
