Contractors, Municipal and Industrial Facilities Managers remove settled solids faster and more easily than ever with Crisafulli's new, improved, re-engineered dredge - the more powerful and more versatile Rotomite-6000.
More power. A 42% Increase in engine horsepower (compared to the Rotomite 180P) to 275 HP increases the power and productivity of all systems on the Rotomite-6000, including an approximate 50% greater thrust from the self-propulsion system. The more powerful John Deere engine enables simultaneous operation of all dredge functions.
New operator cab. A new operator cab (with optional air and heat) mounted forward on the dredge for greater visibility, is accessible from either side of the dredge for improved convenience, productivity and safety.
Improved controls. Crisafulli engineers redesigned fingertip operator controls to reduce operator fatigue and improve operator alertness and productivity.
New Cutterhead. Dual hydraulic motors deliver 11,000 inch-pounds (1243Nm) of digging torque to Crisafulli's new Cobra CutterheadTM. The Cobra Cutterhead combines aggressive hardened teeth with an unique opposing auger design to drive dredged material towards the center of the cutterhead and directly in front of the pump intake for maximum capture of solids, highest efficiency and reduced turbidity.
The operator can articulate (rotate 84 degrees) the cutterhead so as to keep the cutting teeth at right angles to the face of the material being dredged, and, with the hydraulically powered ladder, apply almost the full 18,000 pound weight of the Rotomite-6000 to attack compacted, settled wastes.
