Proline 6 Inch Dredge With Twin GX270 And HP500 Pumps (*Local Pickup Only)
The Proline 6″ gold dredge was designed to be strong, powerful and efficient. It looks quite similar to the 5″twin. The pontoons are larger to support the additional weight and performance of the larger unit. We use thicker plastic to ensure years of service. The framework bolts together just like the 5″ but it is a more robust design.
The 6″ is powered by two Honda GX270 engines and Proline’s powerful HP500 pump(s) for excellent suction power and minimum fuel consumption. This unit is capable of operating at considerable depths. We stock it with the PCA10 high pressure diving air compressor for deep diving.
This is also the only 6″ gold dredge on the market which has 25 feet of dredge hose as a standard length. Longer hose can be supplied if needed. This unit operates well in rugged conditions and can handle moderately swift water if secured properly. The engines can be mounted on the gold dredge frame in several locations to compensate for varying dredging and water conditions. For instance, if the gold dredge is initially set up in a stream bed with very little water running over the gravel, the dredge hose may be supported on the river bottom. After the gold dredge has been in operation for some time, the dredging hose will eventually be unsupported and the weight of the hose and the dredged material can make the machine front heavy. Moving the engines rearward can greatly help to maintain stability.
This dredge offers excellent gold recovery just like our other products, and cleanup is quick and easy for a minimum of down time. This dredge has earned a solid reputation for performance and dependability. These commercial quality machines are currently being operated with great results in North America, South America, Africa, and throughout the Pacific.
