9 OCTOBER 2026 WorldWide Drilling Resource® New Compact Fluid Cleaning System Thanks to the new M150D Fluid Cleaning System from American Augers®, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) contractors can spend more time drilling and less time managing fluid. Built to pair with 20,000- to 120,000-pound drills, the M150D fills a long-standing gap in the utility HDD market by bringing American Augers’ proven fluid cleaning expertise to a smaller, more mobile platform. The system helps reduce downtime and improve project efficiency without requiring additional support equipment or contributing to congestion. “Utility contractors have been asking for a compact fluid cleaning system that delivers the same level of cleaning performance as larger systems without the added size, setup time, or complexity,” said Richard Levings, Product Manager for American Augers. “Instead of scaling down an existing cleaner, we built the M150D around the way utility contractors actually work. That allowed us to create a system that keeps crews drilling longer instead of stopping to manage drilling fluid.” The machine’s simple setup and teardown helps crews get to work faster. The unit transports its own fluid, eliminating the need for additional fluid trucks and minimizing equipment requirements on-site. Its compact footprint and selfcontained design maximizes available space without compromising cleaning capability throughout HDD operations. For a link, click on this box in our online issue.
