Rotomite-6000 Capabilities

Self-propelled diesel dredges can dredge about anywhere without cumbersome cabling

The Rotomite-6000 offers a range of Performance Capabilities

Provides customers with the "BEST VALUE."

  • Dredging Depth. 20 feet standard (up to 40 feet optional)
  • Cubic yards of sludge processed per hour. Up to 150 cubic yards
  • Discharge volume. 2,500 gallons per minute @ 80' TDH (water)
  • Dredging Speed. Up to 19 feet per minute
  • Width of dredging Cut. Up to 7.5 feet
  • Cutterhead Torque. Up to 11,000 inch/lbs.
  • Draft. 27 inches
  • Discharge distances and variables. **Pumping sludges and slurries.

**An important feature of SRS Crisafulli's hydraulic dredges is their ability to pump dredges sludges and slurries over substantial distances to remote disposal sites.

Contractors, Municipal and Industrial Facilities Managers remove settled solids fast and easily with the powerful and versatile Rotomite-6000.

More power. 275 HP provides the power and productivity for all of the systems on the Rotomite-6000. The John Deere engine enables simultaneous operation of all dredge functions.

Improved controls. Crisafulli engineers designed fingertip operator controls to reduce operator fatigue and improve operator alertness and productivity.

The operator can articulate (rotate 84 degrees) the cutterhead to keep the cutting teeth at right angles to the face of the dredged material.

The hydraulically powered ladder, applies almost the full 18,000 pound weight of the Rotomite-6000 to attack compacted, settled wastes.

Great visibility. Note the Operator's clear view of dredging operations from the forward positioned cab with large windows on all four sides shown above on the Rotomite-6000. The new cab (withoptional air and heat) is accessible from either side of the dredge for improved convenience, productivity, and safety.

Cobra Cutterhead. On the right, observe the unique opposing augers of the Cobra cutterhead are designed 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. Fully articulating, the cutterhead can be rotated 84 degrees on the Rotomite-6000 and 70 degrees on the Rotomite-8000 to attack compacted, settled wastes.

Safety guard rails. Note the guard rails on each side of the dredge and flanking the ladder.

Portability - On Land - Afloat. With a width of 8.5 feet and a height of 9.58 feet (without the Pivoting Traverse System) Contractors and Facilities Managers can move the Rotomite-6000 at high speeds on highways on a lowboy and meet all DOT regulations regarding vehicle weight, width and height. This feature is important for any customer who must dredge multiple sites at different locations.

The actual distance in a particular application depends on several variables including: the nature of the slurry – i. e., the specific gravity, weight, and concentration of solids in the slurry, the model and power of the dredge, the size of the discharge pipe, the topography of the land over which the slurry is pumped – i. e., vertical elevation change from the dredge to the discharge site, whether or not a booster pump is installed in the discharge line, and, perhaps most importantly, the experience and skill of the dredge operator.

SRS Crisafulli offers consulting services, at no cost to the customer, by its experienced engineers operating from the Glendive, MT Factory address during the sales process to properly specify and size its dredges for the customer’s planned application.

If a site visit is required to properly specify a dredge for the customer’s application, travel and per diem charges may be necessary. SRS Crisafulli typically provides dredge customers worldwide with installation and training services by experienced Factory technicians as part of the standard specifications of a dredge sale.

 

Unmatched Versatility

Crisafulli's unique steerable variable speed hydraulically powered propulsion system provides approximately 1,000 pounds of thrust enabling the Rotomite-6000 and its Crisafulli 6" discharge J-Series pump to dredge and process up to 150 cubic yards of sludge and slurries per hour at depths up to 20 feet (standard; deeper in custom models) in a wide range of applications without the cost and delays of a cabled traverse system.

The world's most productive 6" dredge

When used with Crisafulli's Cabled Traverse System, the Rotomite-6000 is approximately 48% more productive than competitive products. It can complete lagoon dredging projects in approximately half the time and save owners close to the entire cost of the Rotomite over several years from reduced operating costs.
