Versatility Makes a Difference Adapted from Information Provided by Mudslayer Mfg. After spending 30 years in the drilling industry, Jim La Porte realized the need for a cleaner, simpler way of utilizing mud. He established Mudslayer Manufacturing in 2006, showcasing the Mudslayer ® portable mud system. The equipment is a portable mud cleaning, recycling, and environmental protection system for solids management. This mud shaker requires little experience to operate and has the power to move the mud and remove the solids, making well drilling more productive. A unique dual-screen setup gives the performance of post tension screens at standard screen prices, plus the self-cleaning tank design streamlines the process by eliminating manual shoveling and stirring. This year, Mudslayer Mfg. is focusing on versatility for their cus- tomers - encouraging them to use the equipment for more than one ap- pl icat ion, thereby gett ing the most out of their machine for the investment. Constructed for standard drilling and geothermal applica- tions, the M350 limited-access unit is perfect for the job. It is track- mounted and driven by remote control for high mobility on jobsites. By sending the mud directly from the cones to a separate tank (for the cleanest mud possible), the M350 is also ideal for the smaller, more delicate pumps used in the horizontal directional and geotechnical drilling fields. One example is Mudslayer customer and dear friend from Australia’s HDD Trenchless Co., Mark Redfern. Everyday, he uses his M350 with a directional drill, piston pump, and 90-gallon-per-minute mud motor, with great success. The M350 can also support 5x6 piston pumps and 3x4 centrifugal pumps with ease. It is a workhorse capable of more than one drilling application. Look for the Mudslayer ad in the Mud Systems Section of the dW de E ART™ Worl i SUP R M ! The M350’s versatility is second to none. This unit belongs to the Pond Doctor in Louisiana, and is used to rehab ponds. WorldWid illing Resource e Dr ® 7 SEPTEMBER 2016
