Vessels require a certain amount of water in order to float and not touch bottom. It is a routine necessity in waterways around the world because sedimentation-the natural process of sand and silt washing downstream-gradually fills channels and harbors.ĭredging often is focused on maintaining or increasing the depth of navigation channels, anchorages, or berthing areas to ensure the safe passage of boats and ships. The 6″ submersible pump installed on this machine is manufactured in-house and is able to pass softball-sized debris without damage or clogging.Dredging is the removal of sediments and debris from the bottom of lakes, rivers, harbors, and other water bodies. It excavates sediment with a durable, high-torque, direct-drive cutter head and pumps at rates up to 1500gpm through the highly abrasion-resistant, hydraulic submersible dredge pump. The system is simple and easy to operate. With an efficient engine that consumes just 3 GPH of fuel during pumping operations, and a 30 gallon fuel tank, this dredge is good for hours upon hours of work. Our lightweight and portable dredge is powered by a 4 cylinder Cummins diesel engine that’s rated at 65 horsepower. It relies on 2 stainless steel pontoons that are compartmentalized into 3 independent sections and offer a 2 to 1 displacement factor for flotation. The Dino-6 is similar to a small pontoon boat. There is no damage to the shoreline or tracks to be repaired. The launching and loading are more like a boat than a conventional dredge or excavator. Mobilization costs are a fraction of a typical six inch dredge. With a wet weight around 4,000 pounds, it is a very lightweight portable dredge, with a low cost of mobilization, and a small environmental footprint. The Dino-6 measures just over 22′long and 6' wide and is less than 6′tall. The Dino-6 sediment removal system is comprised of a small dredge manufactured domestically in the US.
