Application: Clean and dredge paint pigment residuals
Dredge Used: EDE 7MAU Series Mud Cat™ Dredge
Project Summary: Electric manned automated dredge with 3 Krebs cyclones with a capacity of 2,100 gpm, magnetic flow meter to monitor pump performance, slurry density meter to maintain consistent percent solids by varying traverse speed, and Bottom Sense™ (automated system to detect and protect pond bottom) to follow the contour of the pond and protect the liner.
