Bentonite Mixing System
 The B-500 by American Augers is a high capacity bentonite mixing system that was specifically designed for the auger boring contractor. The standard unit is equipped with a low pressure diaphragm pump that delivers mixes at 14 Gallons (52.99 L)/per minute @ 200 PSI (14 bar), 515 RPM. Uses the bentonite to modify sticky soils into more manageable ground conditions
Standard Features
- 9.5 HP (7 kW) Diesel Engine
- 500 U.S. Gallon (1,892 L) Tank
Additional Features
- The B-500 pump will reliably deliver the bentonite slurry to the lead casing under pressure to reduce friction and will produce a 5% gel concentration in 500 gallons of water, but if soil conditions are very porous (mostly gravel etc.) a thicker gel may be used.
- The machine can also be employed, as a pressure washer during clean up time, or for pressure-testing water lines
Additional Benefits
- Lubricates and supports the pipe while penetrating the soil
- Assures better grade
- Improves thrust capabilities
- Retards sloughing and cave-ins
- Extends equipment life
- Speeds up jacking operation
