Spray Dredging, Excavating Sand and Sediment IMS Versi-Dredge® 7012 HP

The IMS Model 7012 HP Versi-Dredge® can excavate sand and sediments down to a depth of 9.1m (30 ft.) and pump it either through a conventional discharge line or through the IMS Broadcaster Discharge Attachment. The video below shows a 7012 HP Versi-Dredge® (2013 Model) in Southeast Asia using the Broadcaster to quickly deepen a navigation channel without using a de-watering site or a cumbersome pipeline. The Broadcaster is ideal for quick channel maintenance and restoration of canals where disposal of material from the Broadcaster has been proven by US government agencies to restore wetlands and provide vital nutrients.

The Weedmaster (patent pending) cuts the vegetation into 3-5 inch pieces and then pumps them up to 1 kilometer or more away.

IMS Dredger Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® w/ Weedmaster (patent pending) Cutterhead

The Weedmaster (patent pending) allows the dredge to be converted into a high production weed harvester system. The dredge can continually cut and pump vegetation and never stop to unload unlike inefficient conveyor type harvesters that require a hopper, transport barges, and shore conveyors to unload.

IMS Dredger Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® w/ Weedmaster (patent pending) Cutterhead

An IMS Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® w/ Weedmaster (patent pending) Cutterhead & Broadcaster Discharge Attachment broadcasts chopped cattails up to 75 feet away.  The system never has to stop to unload like a conveyor harvester and it can control where the discharge is sprayed unlike shredding systems that just spew material dangerously in every direction

IMS Dredger Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® w/ Weedmaster (patent pending) Cutterhead & Broadcaster Discharge Attachment

An IMS Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® w/ Weedmaster (patent pending) Cutterhead & Broadcaster Discharge Attachment cuts down and digests very tall cattails and reeds.  Note that the Weedmaster (patent pending) can cut all the way down to the root mass where a conveyor harvester can only go down to a limited depth and cut only part of the stem off.  Using the Weedmaster (patent pending) slows down and in many cases eliminates the regrowth of vegetation since the root mass can be removed.
