Very low hours on the twin 9-HP Honda motors with authentic Proline pumps (best in the world). The 263-Gast compressor allows for two divers. Two additional floatation modules have been added, along with decking so one or two people can get onto the dredge even when it is operating. This is a huge time saver because it allows you to leave the super-fine gold recovery sections alone (without any worry of gold loss from them) until they are worth the time to clean-up. The entire system and the environment are protected by a safety shut off system that monitors engine and hydraulic conditions.This 6-incher is a step up from my own Pro-Mack 5-incher (which is the 3 rd generation of double screen classification) largely because we have added a high-grade gold recovery section at the head of the box which recovers all the larger sized gold and has preliminary fine gold recovery section that can be cleaned up every day with minimal effort. The pump is conservatively rated at 1000 gallons per minute at 50 feet of total dynamic head, and able to pass up to softball sized debris without damage or clogging.

The pump installed on the machine is a 6″ submersible, manufactured by Geoform in-house, it is made with abrasion resistant 400 Brinell hardened steel, it can be outfitted with open or closed impellers based on conditions. The last hydraulic function of the machine is the slurry pump. The cutterhead is operable in forward and reverse and the speed of rotation is variable. This assembly is roughly as wide as the pontoons to provide a path for the machine to float into as material is removed from the water. The cutterhead component of the system consists of a tooth covered cutterbar or a paddle assembly that rotates hydraulically to agitate material and aid in putting solids into suspension. The depth control is accomplished with a hoist that lifts and lowers the cutter head and pump assembly. The windlass travel system is composed of a double pulley, double motor, cable drive system that moves the unit back and forth along its cable. These four circuits include the windlass cable travel system, depth control, the cutter head, and the slurry pump. The hydraulic system provides for cooling and filtration of the fluid. The Diesel engine onboard is used to provide 90 gallons per minute at 2500psi to run a total of four hydraulic circuits. The 30 gallon fuel capacity provides for long hours of operation.
Dino six dredge series#
Power for the system is provided by a Cummins b3 series 4 cylinder diesel, rated at 65hp, consuming just 3 GPH of fuel during pumping operations. The gantry structure is all welded mild steel tubing powder coated for protection from the elements. The pontoons are built using 16 gauge stainless steel with internal stiffening structures, compartmentalized into three independent sections and offering a two to one displacement factor for flotation. The Dino6 is constructed to minimize maintenance issues and simplify any necessary service requirements. The Dino6 has a working depth of 13’ in its standard configuration. Along with it’s small footprint this results in a low cost of mobilization.
Dino six dredge portable#
With a wet weight around 3800 pounds it is a very lightweight, making it an extremely portable unit. It measures just over 22′ long and 6′ wide and is less than 6′ tall. The Dino6 sediment removal system is a small dredge manufactured domestically. The Dino6 Sediment Removal System The Machine
