    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.

    Tank's sloping bottom ensures that all drilling fluid flows through the pump and is thoroughly mixed.

    Flexible pump mounting offers a variety of setup configurations; pump delivers 160-gpm (606-l/min) flow.
