For extremely shallow water conditions, a suction nozzle is recommended. The power jet is ideal for most deep water conditions and provides the most suction power. The model 2004 backpack dredge comes equipped with a power jet or optional suction nozzle. Keene also provides an aluminum frame with grey marlex pontoons. The sluice box has been engineered for fine gold recovery and easy clean up. The Honda engine doubles the power of the previous models and is much quieter and smoother, produces an unbelievable 100 gallons per minute, and up to 160 feet of head pressure.

In a time when some companies are now building flimsy, unstable dredges to cut manufacturing costs, and calling their creations 'mini' this or 'ultra' that, Proline continues to build a true 3' dredge to provide years of trouble-free service with unmatched performance.ģ' Dredge w/Honda GX160 & HP300 pump & T-80ĭue to ongoing market fluctuations, prices are changing frequently.įor the latest pricing information click here. This tried and true design essentially eliminates all surface rock jams, while making it far easier to attach the dredge hose to the power jet. This is the smallest dredge that we offer with our well known 'sure-flow' hose coupler system. There is no reason to pay for a big, heavy pump, when the idea is to keep the size and weight down in the first place. To this day, the HP300 is the only pump on the market designed specifically for 3' dredges.

Another unique feature of this dredge is the pump. It sits on its own frame with pontoons that were matched to its size and weight. This dredge was designed to be smaller and lighter than our 4' dredge, without sacrificing strength or stability. When we originally designed the Proline 3' dredge, we set out to build a machine that we felt addressed most of the problems associated with this dredge size.īefore its arrival most 3' dredges were essentially the same size as their 4'counterparts because they used the same pontoons, frame, pump, etc. 3' Dredge Years of Trouble-free service with unmatched performance
