This dredge has earned a solid reputation for performance and dependability. This dredge offers excellent gold recovery just like our other products, and cleanup is quick and easy for a minimum of down time. Moving the engines rearward can greatly help to maintain stability. After the 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. For instance, if the 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. The engines can be mounted on the dredge frame in several locations to compensate for varying dredging and water conditions. This unit operates well in rugged conditions and can handle moderately swift water if secured properly. This is also the only 6" dredge on the market which has 25 feet of dredge hose as a standard length. It is available with either one or two higher pressure diving air compressors for deep diving, or it can be equipped with either one or two of the low pressure diving compressors like those found on the smaller dredges. This unit is capable of operating at considerable depths. It is powered by two Honda GX270 engines and our powerful HP500 pump(s) for excellent suction power and minimum fuel consumption. The framework bolts together just like the 5" but it is a more robust design. ![]() We use thicker plastic to ensure years of service. The pontoons are larger to support the additional weight and performance of the larger unit. The Proline 6" dredge was designed to be strong, powerful and efficient. ![]() In our opinion, the 6" is the largest dredge that can be effectively operated by one man, however, a two-man team would allow the dredge to be used to its fullest potential. ![]() The 6" dredge is ideally suited for use as an exploration and sampling unit for larger mining projects and is also capable of being the primary source of gold recovery in smaller operations. It is relatively lightweight and can be transported and assembled with little more effort than that required for a 5" dredge, yet, it is capable of processing several times more material than those smaller dredges. Our 6" dredge is one of our personal favorites. 6" Dredge CApable of processing several times more material than our smaller dredges
