Cutterhead Options

Learn about the different cutterhead options we offer for our excavator pump attachment, cable hanging dredge, and more!
Standard Cutterhead

Our standard cutterheads usually rotate between 15 to 60 rpm and are equipped with specially designed replaceable cutter teeth around the attachment. The rotating cutterhead breaks up consolidated material such as compacted sand, mud, and sludge which helps feed material into the pump.

Compatible with:

    • This attachment works well in conjunction with the Liner-Safe Wheels or the Water Jetting Ring.

Clay Cutterhead

The clay cutterhead attachment is ideal for pumping extremely thick heavy clay at a continuous production rate. As the blades rotate, the clay is effectively agitated and fed into the dredge pump.

Compatible with:

Drag to rotate
Self-Cleaning Cutterhead

The self-cleaning head attachment is ideal for effectively pumping highly viscous mud or sludge at a continuous production rate. As the basket rotates, a self-cleaning comb device clears the mud or other debris, allowing for less blockage of the intake. This unit works well with a jetting ring for mud and material agitation for optimal production rates.

Compatible with:

  • Excavator Boom Deployed
  • Use Self-Cleaning or Swap out for Standard Cutterhead

Water Jetting Ring
Break up material and inject water at high pressure to break up and liquify highly condensed solids. The high-pressure jetting ring works in conjunction with the standard cutterhead or self-cleaning head. This unit can be deployed via an excavator boom, cable hung from a crane or floating A-frame.

Compatible with:

  • Excavator Boom Deployed
  • Cable Hung Deployed

Auger Head

Auger Suction Dredges are used in many dredging applications where there is a liner such as poly, clay, concrete, and other types of plastic liners. The Auger Suction Dredge can be equipped with wheels to provide liner-safe dredging while still being able to break up consolidated material.

EDDY Pump Deployment Options

EDDY-Pump-Flooded-Suction-Pump-Deployment-type

Flooded Suction Pumps

The fluid to be pumped with flooded suction pumps is positioned above the pump. Flooded suction pumps typically require less priming effort because gravity assists in keeping the pump primed. With the pump positioned below, gravity can feed the fluid into the pump’s suction and keep the pump primed.

Submersible Pumps

Submersible Pumps

Pumps that are completely submerged in the liquid are called submersible pumps. By being submerged in the fluid to be pumped, there is no need for priming the pump.

EDDY-Pump-Self-Priming-Pump-Deployment-Type

Self-Priming Pumps

With a self-priming unit, the pump and power unit are not submerged. The suction hose goes into the slurry and the unit acts like a super-sized wet dry vacuum. Can be trailer mounted for added mobility.
