Accessories – Ancillary Dredge & Pump Components

HDPE Dredge Pipe is a rigid discharge pipeline solution designed for continuous slurry transport in dredging applications. The pipe is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and well-suited for abrasive materials. Integrated Bauer fittings allow fast assembly and secure connections in both temporary and long-term dredge pipelines. The smooth internal bore reduces frictional losses, enabling efficient slurry flow over long distances.

Discharge slurry hose provides flexible connections within dredge discharge systems. It is designed to handle high solids slurry while absorbing movement, vibration, and alignment changes during operation. The hose protects rigid piping and pump connections by reducing mechanical stress caused by dredge movement or changing water conditions. Available sizes include 4 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, and 12 inch.

EZ Connect Floats provide buoyancy and support for floating discharge pipelines and hoses. The modular float sections allow precise buoyancy control based on pipe diameter and system weight. The design enables quick installation and reuse across multiple projects while maintaining stable pipeline alignment on the water surface.

Hydraulic Power Units deliver the high-pressure hydraulic energy required to drive dredge pumps, cutterheads, and other hydraulic attachments in dredging, mining, marine, and heavy industrial applications. These units can be customized to meet specific project requirements and are available in multiple power ratings to match the size and performance needs of different pump systems.

Variable Frequency Drives regulate the electrical power supplied to electrically driven pumps by converting fixed-frequency AC power into variable-frequency output. This allows direct control over motor speed, improving performance, reducing mechanical stress during startup, and giving the operator precise control over flow and pressure without changing motors or gearboxes.

The Slurry Doppler Flow Meter measures slurry flow velocity inside the pipeline using Doppler ultrasound. It provides continuous flow monitoring without needing intrusive sensors in the flow stream. This enables operators to track discharge rates, identify blockages or performance changes, and verify material movement in real time.

The Dredge Vision system is a pipeline-discharge camera that provides real-time monitoring of slurry discharge conditions. Mounted on or near the pipeline, the camera transmits video to operators, enabling them to observe flow characteristics, identify issues such as blockages or erosion, and verify discharge positioning without physical inspection.

The long-reach extended arm and boom attachment increases an excavator’s working envelope, allowing it to reach deeper or farther into water bodies and dredge areas that are otherwise out of reach. This attachment transforms a standard excavator into a capable dredging tool by extending its reach while maintaining stability and control.

The amphibious excavator dredger converts a standard excavator for use in soft, muddy, or shallow water environments where wheeled or tracked machines might bog down. It uses dual pontoons to support the excavator on water or soft ground, enabling stable dredging operations without the need for barges or additional platforms.

Cutterheads are rotational attachments that break up compacted material and feed it into the dredge pump more effectively. Available in multiple designs to suit different sediment types, cutterheads improve productivity in cohesive soils, clay, and consolidated beds. They mount directly in front of the pump intake and spin to agitate material before suction.

The water jetting ring uses high-pressure water jets to loosen sediment ahead of the suction inlet. It is ideal for fine or cohesive material that may not respond as well to mechanical agitation. The ring attaches to the pump intake and projects jets outward to disrupt the material, reducing suction resistance.

The auger dredge attachment uses a rotating helical screw to draw material toward the pump intake. This design works exceptionally well in soft to medium soils and cohesive beds. The auger both loosens and moves material, making it a versatile accessory for smaller dredges and excavator hybrid systems.

The excavator pump attachment integrates a dredge pump directly with an excavator, turning the machine into a self-contained dredging unit. This accessory attaches to the excavator arm and draws sediment directly from the cut line to the pump inlet, enabling versatile excavation in varied ground conditions.

Liner-safe dredge options are pump-wheel designs engineered to protect discharge liners and extend pump life when handling abrasive or high-impact materials. They reduce wear on both the pump and downstream pipeline, improving reliability and lowering maintenance costs. These options are particularly effective in applications where abrasive solids are present, and service interruptions must be minimized.

The self-cleaning cutterhead is a cutterhead variant that reduces clogging by incorporating geometry and cutting structure designed to shed debris during operation. It combines material agitation with debris rejection to maintain consistent suction and reduce the need for manual cleaning or downtime. This accessory improves pump efficiency in mixed-material beds, where sticks, roots, or fibrous debris can otherwise cause blockages.
