Hydraulic Mixer
Fordia’s hydraulic mud mixers are built tough for durability and reliability. On all drilling sites, mud mixers are an essential tool for obtaining a perfect blend of drilling additives. This blend must be a homogenous mix of mud and water to maximize the lubricating properties of the additives so that the down-the-hole drilling equipment is protected effectively.
Viscosity Funnel
This conical-shaped funnel (also known as a Marsh Funnel) has a small bore tube on the bottom end and is used to measure the time it takes for drilling mud to pass through it. It is standardized for use in diamond drilling to check the quality of drilling mud and to ensure that the mix is optimal.
pH Indicator Strips
Optimize and economize on the use of your drilling additives with Fordia’s new pH indicator strips. These non-bleeding strips are ideal for the mineral exploration market and test the full 0 – 14 pH range.
Testing and adjusting the pH levels of water prior to the use of Fordia additives ensures your mix has a smoother consistency and enhanced viscosity so that you get better performance and less waste of additive products.
The strips are easy to read, provide sharp and clear colour graduations and do not bleed even in strong alkaline solutions. Each package comes with 100 strips.

In few of our blogs, we’ve been looking at core barrels. A wire line core barrel typically consists of a double tube system that includes an inner tube and outer tube. We’ve looked at the parts that make up the inner tube assembly and the head assembly. In this blog, we will look at the parts of the outer tube and the role of each piece of equipment.

When the geologist has given you a specific target to reach with your bore hole, many of them will make specific requests that a hole proceed in a very straight direction for a certain number of meters. A lot will be riding on your ability to get there without your bore hole deviating.
Waiting for new drilling equipment can take longer than usual these days. Supply chains everywhere are being negatively impacted by external events far more frequently than ever before. Disruptive events, like the recent pandemic, are causing potential disruption to business activity and the drilling and mining industries are not immune. Delays are now common for drilling equipment especially those made with steel, such as drill rods, inner and outer tubes, etc.
