The big mud tank has two chambers separated by a separator. A mixer can be installed above each<br />
chamber. The first mixer (1) is powered externally via a generator. The second mixer (3) is powered<br />
via a cable connected to the first mixer.<br />
The separator (2) has openings in the bottom part, allowing you to either separate or link the two<br />
chambers.<br />
The big mud tank has various inlet and outlet connectors for the drilling mud. An external auxiliary<br />

Another connector is assigned to the centrifugal pump on the rotary drilling rig.<br />
