Submersible Diver Operated Dredge System.

Our Diver Operated Dredge design is the perfect tool for dredging in challenging environments, such as narrow channels, shallow waters, and high-solids applications. It features a highly efficient, non-clogging design that allows it to handle large volumes of abrasive materials, such as sand, gravel, and debris, with ease.

One of the main benefits of this dredge pump is that it is diver operated. This means that it can be easily deployed and operated by a diver, making it versatile, mobile and extremely efficient. The diver can maneuver the pump, ensuring precise dredging and minimizing the amount of material handled, which helps in reducing the environmental impact.

Units can be powered electrically or hydraulically.  One system can allow one, two or three suction hoses and divers to operate simultaneously.

Over 300-ft of a suction hose can be added to the suction inlet of the diver-operated dredge pump, providing increased versatility not commonly found in conventional diver-operated dredges. This allows for ease of mobility into pipelines and other hard to reach areas for difficult and precise dredging applications. With the EDDY Pump Diver Operated Dredge, you do not need booster pumps as you can easily pump material over 2500-ft.

Our EDDY Diver Operated Dredge Pump is built to last, using only the highest-quality materials and construction. It is also easy to maintain and service, so you can spend more time dredging and less time dealing with downtime.

All EDDY Pump dredges and diver operated dredge units use our patented USA Built industrial pumps.

The core of this design is the patented EDDY Pump technology. The design redefines the pumping industry by being the only pump that utilizes the principles of a tornado to create a synchronized eddy current. This pump is not a centrifugal, positive displacement or vortex pump, but instead the most efficient high solids and high specific gravity pump on the market. This translates to the ability to pump higher percent solids of material with less water.

With references from Discovery Channel’s Bering Sea Gold talking of the Subdredge, “There are truly no limits for this Subdredge”.   After 4-weeks of operation under the 5-foot thick ice of Nome, Alaska, the Subdredge can truly be seen as the new wave of the future in underwater gold mining and will soon be seen by millions on the Discovery Channel! The same can be said for the Diver Operated Dredge that uses the same pump.

EDDY Pumps power all of the equipment in our lineup. The diver unit in most cases is a modified Excavator Attachment Pump setup with a new head unit for dive dredging. This provides your operation with a tool that can be used for multiple applications at a job site. Call for information.

Recent Testimonial

We used both the electric and hydraulic style pumps for diver-assisted dredging. Both pumps operated continuously for over 45 days at 10+ hours a day with no problems at all.

dual-diver-dredgeThe only issue we had was a large fishing net wrapped around the impeller. Although it was making one hell of a racket, the pump never lost production. We are extremely happy with the pumps and the service provided by Eddy. A must-purchase for any diver-assisted dredging products.
