If you are cleaning a modest area, such as around a dock or boat slip, you can expect to get the job done relatively quickly. These volumes may vary depending upon the nature of your sediment, distance pumped, and your energy & skill level, but many operators state that they are able to pump a much larger volume than our estimates. The excavation capability of our dredger is about 60 cubic meter of water per hour, along 6 cubic meter of sediment per hour. These pontoon dredge pumps are suited for ponds and lagoons up to 20,000 square meters surface areas, up to 3.5 meters deep.Our suction dredger is particularly effective in removing sand, silt, and that fluffy black stinky mud that ruins the waterfront and prevents one from enjoying beach and water activities. The dredge pump agitates sediments and can pump up to 30% solids. The DAE Pumps pontoon dredge pumps remove sediments and slurry from tailings ponds, lagoons, and holdings ponds. DAE Pumps pontoon dredge pumps are easy to set-up and start running. These small pontoon dredges can be transported by a truck or trailer and deployed without heavy equipment.

However, with DAE Pumps mini dredge pumps, this process can be completed internally to meet all environmental regulations. The facilities often outsource the maintenance to dredging companies. Power plants, paper/pulp plants, mines, chemical plants, oil fields, and other industries need to keep the capacity of their tailings and cutting ponds while following the environmental impact standards.

Their designs are also poly, clay, or concrete liner safe. Ideal for lagoons, small lakes, basins, ponds, and other smaller dredging projects, these unique pontoon dredges are built with powerful, non-clogging pumps designed for high solids industrial pumping applications. The mini pontoon dredge and small pontoon dredge allow for one to two operators to run a dredge at high production rates. The DAE Pumps Pontoon Dredge Pumps are portable, robust, and smaller version dredges that are capable of dredging areas that the large dredging operations cannot access.
