The new Vermeer MX150 mixing system offers contractors a compact, powerful solution designed for performance 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 supports small to mid-size utility HDD operations.
"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 a 300-gal (1,135.6-L), 500-gal (1,892.7-L) narrow or 500-gal (1,892.7-L) wide tank, 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 use of trailer space.
The MX150 features a tank shape that allows for fluid mixing and minimizes solids settling at the bottom. This, combined with the system's powerful engine, contributes to its yield time and performance. The unit also includes a garden hose fitting for cleaning of the hopper and machine.
Maintenance is simplified with a 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 flexibility, the MX150 allows operators to configure the power unit with the hose outlet pointing to the back or side of the trailer, enabling 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 facilitated by removable hoses and accessible drain points.
