Rotomite-6000CE - All Purpose Dredges

 Self-propelled, manned, 6" all purpose electric powered dredges for soft and abrasive slurrries

Shown above, SRS Crisafulli’s newly offered all-purpose, electric powered Rotomite-6000CE (R6CE) dredge, designed for customer convenience, safety, and productivity, engineered for a full range of dredging applications from soft to highly abrasive slurries, powered by an external electrical source at the customer’s electrical utility facility. The all-purpose Rotomite-6000CE dredge offers forward mounted heated & air-conditioned operator’s cab with 360-degree visibility, and the safety guardrail surrounding the dredge.


The Rotomite-6000CE offers a wide-range of Performance Capabilities

“Provides customers with BEST VALUE”

  • Dredging depth: 23 feet standard (up to 30 feet optional)
  • Applications:  the full range of dredging applications from soft to abrasive slurries.
  • Cubic yards of sludge processed per hour: up to 240 cubic yards
  • Discharge volume: up to 3,400 gallons per minute @ 180' TDH (water)
  • Dredging speed: up to 25 feet per minute
  • Width of dredging cut: 8 feet
  • Draft: 30 inches
  • Propulsion thrust:  1300 pounds (or more)
  • Discharge distances and variables. *Pumping sludges and slurries.

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

New and Unique Features of Rotomite- 6000CE

While many features of the Rotomite-6000C Series are similar or identical to the Rotomite-6000, the Rotomite- 6000CE has several new and unique features that increase productivity and versatility.

SRS Crisafulli’s Engineers developed anew model of its proven successful self-propelled Rotomite-6000, named Rotomite-6000CE, with a cast alloy pump for highly abrasive applications.  Every component that processes slurry on the Rotomite-6000CE was selected for abrasion resistance. SRS Crisafulli invites enquiries from those who seek better solutions for abrasive dredging applications.

Cast Pump for Abrasive Applications. The Rotomite- 6000CE was designed around the Georgia Iron Works (GIW) cast alloy pump model LCC-M 150-500 6 inch by 8 inch. See below for photo of the GIW cast alloy pump mounted on the Rotomite-6000CE.

New Cutterhead. Shown above and below is SRS Crisafulli’s newly engineered cutterhead designed specifically for the R6CE, called the R6C Cutterhead. Note in the photo below that the R6C cutterhead hydraulic motors are mounted inside the auger tube for more efficient dredging of abrasive materials.

Propulsion System. The Rotomite-6000CE has a completely new and much more powerful propulsion system, shown below, which adds versitility (speed, thrust, and maneuverability) for the heavier Rotomite 6000 CE.

Rotomite 6000 C Dashboard

Shown above, an inside view of the Operator’s Cab on the Rotomite-6000CE. All dredge functions are controlled from the Cab – i.e., turn the main engine on and off and vary it’s power output, raise or lower the cutterhead and pump, turn on and off and vary the speed or RPM of the pump, the cutterhead rotation, propulsion thrust on/off and forward and reverse, steer the dredge left or right. The Cab is heated and air-conditioned for the Operator’s comfort, safety, and to enhance dredge productivity.

Best Value. The foregoing capabilities result in maximum versatility, minimum operating costs, and “Best Value” for the customer.

Quiet Operation. The noise level in the cab is below 85 decibels - generally considered comfortable without earplugs.

Walkway Behind Cab. The Rotomite-6000’s 24” wide walkway behind the cab enables easy access to the opposite side of the dredge’s forward section thereby increasing operator convenience and productivity.

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

For abrasive and soft slurries. Engineered as modifications to SRS Crisafulli’s established and proven successful Rotomite-6000, the new Rotomite-6000CE is designed to dredge efficiently the full range of applications from soft slurries to highly abrasive slurries such as sand.

Cast alloy pump. We replaced the fabricated pump used in the Rotomite-6000 with a cast alloy pump by Georgia Iron Works, the GIW Model LCC-M 150-500, designed specifically for abrasive applications. All dredge systems have been “hardened” to handle abrasive slurries including a new cutterhead.

 

Rotomite 6000 C Transportability

Portability. The Rotomite-6000CE is transportable anywhere in the US (as is the Rotomite-6000) on a step-deck flat bed.

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