Vermeer introduces compact, efficient MX150 mixing system
Efficient drilling fluid mixing is crucial for HDD operations. The Vermeer MX150 mixing system, with a 7-hp (5.2-kW) engine, customizable configurations and quick yield times, is ideal for small to mid-size utility projects.

Efficient mixing of drilling fluid is crucial for horizontal directional drilling (HDD) operations. The new Vermeer MX150 mixing system offers contractors a compact, powerful solution designed to optimize productivity in tight spaces. Featuring a Kohler 7-hp (5.2-kW) gas engine that delivers a maximum flow of 150 gpm (568 L/min), the MX150 mixing system provides quick yield times to help crews get drilling faster. Its slim profile and customizable configuration options make it an ideal companion for small to mid-size utility HDD projects.

"The Vermeer MX150 mixing system is designed to meet the needs of contractors working in increasingly compact jobsites," said Clint Recker, product manager of trenchless products at Vermeer. "With its powerful engine, efficient mixing capabilities and flexible setup options, the MX150 enables crews to work efficiently without sacrificing valuable space."

The new Vermeer mixing system can be paired with 300 gal (1,135.6 L), 500 gal (1,892.7 L) narrow or 500 gal (1,892.7 L) wide tanks, allowing contractors to customize their setup based on job requirements. Its 24.4 in (62 cm) narrow tank width enables the MX150 to fit alongside mid-size utility directional drills, making efficient use of trailer space.

The MX150 features a specially designed tank shape that allows for efficient fluid mixing and minimizes solids settling at the bottom. This, combined with the system's powerful engine, contributes to its quick yield time and high productivity. The unit also includes a convenient garden hose fitting for easy cleaning of the hopper and machine.

Maintenance is simplified with a premium high-grade seal built for longevity and resilience in dry operations. Additionally, the mud pump seal grease level indicator provides operators with feedback to help extend component life.

For added flexibility, the MX150 allows operators to configure the power unit with the hose outlet pointing to the back or side of the trailer, enabling efficient hookup from the mix system to the drill.

The MX150 comes with a 6-gal (22.7-L) fuel tank, providing enough capacity for a full day's work. Winterization is made easy with removable hoses and accessible drain points.
