Dredging Equipment
Excavator Pump Attachment
Attach to an Excavator and Start Dredging
The excavator-mounted dredge pump attachment improves the process for pumping high solids while being able to use the hydraulic power of your existing excavator. The EDDY Pump Excavator Attachment quickly pins into your existing bucket linkage and large excavators can be fitted with up to a 12-inch pump.
Dredge Sled
Pond and Lagoon Dredging Equipment
The patented Dredge Sled lagoon dredge pump is highly engineered for submersible dredging with the autonomous ability to gently slide along the bottom to pump highly viscous or abrasive material, sludge, muck, paste, high solids, and other harsh lagoon pumping applications.
Self-Priming Pumps
Trailer or Skid Mounted Options
Most EDDY Pumps are submersible; however, with a self-priming unit, the pump and power unit are not submerged. The suction hose goes into the slurry, making the unit like a super-sized wet vacuum. This unit can be mounted to a trailer or skid for easier mobility.
Remote-Operated Trailer Boom Pump
Control Your Boom Operations Remotely
Welcome to EDDY Pump’s Remote-Operated Trailer Boom Pump, the innovative solution for efficient and versatile concrete pumping operations. With wireless remote control for boom operations, this advanced concrete pump offers unmatched convenience, precision, and safety.
Diver Operated Dredge Pump
Underwater Diver Controls Pump’s Intake Hose
Our Diver Operated Dredge design is easily mobilized and designed for pumping production rates of 75 to 150 cubic yards of material per hour. This while pumping a higher solids content and not clogging like conventional pumps.
Autonomous Dredge
Remote Operated Dredging Platform
EDDY Autonomous Dredge System is a remote operated and unmanned dredging platform. The onboard dredging equipment can move slurry, sludge and high solids up to 4000 GPM at over 400 ft of head. With a footprint of only 650 sq. ft. by anchoring 3 to 4 cables on land, the system can effectively dredge a large area without any onboard crew.
Cable-Deployed Dredge Pump
Combine With a Water Jetting Ring to Break Up Consolidated Material
EDDY Pump’s submersible electric and hydraulic driven dredge pump, with water jetting ring agitator option, is a market leader in high solids pumping. Unlike other dredge pumps, the EDDY Pump design does not have an impeller, but instead a heavy duty geometrically designed rotor that creates a synchronized eddy current similar to a tornado.
The EDDY Self-Priming Slurry Mixing and Transfer Pump incorporates a vacuum-assisted priming slurry pump, a slurry container, a suction/discharge hose, and a recirculation hose. This unit will continually mix slurry within a slurry storage container, keeping it from settling, allowing for easy slurry transfers to a truck or another disposal means.
Remove sediment from your poly or concrete-lined retention ponds without worry of damaging the delicate liner. We have fully customized pumping options for clay, plastic, poly and concrete lined ponds. Deploy via barge, excavator or submersible.
Auger Suction Dredges are used in many dredging applications where there is a liner such as poly, clay, concrete, and other type 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.
Booster Pumps bolster the effectiveness of the main pumps by allowing you to pump material at long distances without the risk of losing critical line velocity or downstream. For pumping long distances, often times booster pumps are needed to facilitate the material transfer.
The EDDY Environmental Dredge is designed to be the most precise dredge available, built to only remove the target material and not over-dredge unwanted material from the ecosystem. This, in turn lowers the cost and time of contaminant material treatment and the overall dredging project.
Amphibious Excavators are perfect for hard to reach marsh, swamp and shallow water dredging projects. Pontoon undercarriages also called amphibious undercarriage make this possible. Change out the factory excavator undercarriage with a floating amphibious undercarriage and dredge further.
The Subdredge is a remote operated submersible dredge (ROV) that can be powered hydraulically or electrically with pump sizes ranging from 4-inch up to 10-inch with production rates of up to 4500 GPM or 400 cubic yards of material per hour.
The Self-Priming Excavator Pump & Bucket is a design that features all of the benefits of the EDDY Pump Excavator Pump Attachment within a traditional rugged excavator digging bucket. This design allows higher production in hard digging environments, utilizing the true digging power of the excavator and bucket teeth.
The EDDY Pump Hydraulic Sargassum Removal Attachment (HSRA) is a groundbreaking patented solution for efficiently managing sargassum seaweed in coastal areas. Designed to revolutionize sargassum cleanup operations, the HSRA can be seamlessly attached to small workboats or excavators, empowering you to combat the sargassum influx easily.
EDDY Pump has been bringing new innovative solutions to the aging dredge industry since 1984. Building on our popular slurry agitation dredge technology, we are one of the few companies who manufactures both our pumps and dredging equipment to ensure optimal support.
EDDY Pump is a Dredge Manufacturer – Rent or Buy Dredging Equipment Shown.
EDDY Pump is a Dredge Manufacturer, we build dredges and pumps. In harsh conditions with sand, sludge, rocks, slurry, normal dredge pumps clog, wear and fail more often. These scenarios inevitably lead to downtime for pump maintenance, hurting your bottom line. This is not the case with The EDDY Pump since we have the tolerance to pump solid objects up to 11 inches!
How? The EDDY Pump’s open rotor design with no critical tolerances will allow anything that will go into the intake to be passed through the discharge without issues. Tolerance between the rotor and the volute in the 4″ EDDY Pump easily allows the passage of a man’s arm, while the tolerance in a centrifugal pump is significantly less. In a 2-inch to 12-inch EDDY Pump, the tolerance ranges from 1-11 inches.
This translates to a significant amount of solids and material pass through, all without clogging the pump. To learn more about the technology behind our pumps continue reading more HERE.
ALL of our EDDY Dredge Equipment uses our industry-leading non-clog Slurry Pumps designed for high solids pumping applications. Our non-clog slurry pump outperforms all centrifugal, vortex and positive displacement pumps in a variety of the most difficult pumping applications and is used to power all of our dredges.
