This model is aimed toward the more serious dredger and offers the most suction power of any 5″ gold dredge in its class. Powered by two Honda GX200 engines, and Proline’s proven HP400 pumps, thus making it ideal for higher altitudes or for extra deep dredging. This gold dredge is easier to refuel and start due to the location of the pumps and the two smaller, lighter power plants are easier to handle than the larger single engine/pump designs. The twin engine model is also capable of driving an additional air compressor should the need arise.

This gold dredge uses the same modular flotation and sturdy frame which bolts together for ease of transporting and storage when not in use. Naturally, this gold dredge uses the same non-clogging jetting system found on other Proline equipment.

Of course, gold recovery is the prime factor in determining the worth of any gold dredge. Proline takes pride in building equipment that delivers recovery of the finest gold. NO machine can possibly keep all the gold, but our designs have proven that they are capable of consistently recovering finer gold than those offered by our competitors. The 5″ gold dredge offers excellent recovery while remaining lightweight and simple to adjust. This gold dredge has proven to be true work horse in the field, providing years of trouble-free operation in harsh conditions.

Proline’s unique swivel seal is less prone to seizing from sand than other designs. The tip includes a high carbon steel wear ring which is spaced out from the nozzle body to increase dredge capacity and to make it easier to remove large rocks from the tip. This nozzle is built to last!

The Proline 6″ gold dredge was designed to be strong, powerful and efficient. It looks quite similar to the 5″twin. The pontoons are larger to support the additional weight and performance of the larger unit. We use thicker plastic to ensure years of service. The framework bolts together just like the 5″ but it is a more robust design.

The 6″ is powered by two Honda GX270 engines and Proline’s powerful HP500 pump(s) for excellent suction power and minimum fuel consumption. This unit is capable of operating at considerable depths. We stock it with the PCA10 high pressure diving air compressor for deep diving.

This is also the only 6″ gold dredge on the market which has 25 feet of dredge hose as a standard length. Longer hose can be supplied if needed. This unit operates well in rugged conditions and can handle moderately swift water if secured properly. The engines can be mounted on the gold dredge frame in several locations to compensate for varying dredging and water conditions. For instance, if the gold dredge is initially set up in a stream bed with very little water running over the gravel, the dredge hose may be supported on the river bottom. After the gold dredge has been in operation for some time, the dredging hose will eventually be unsupported and the weight of the hose and the dredged material can make the machine front heavy. Moving the engines rearward can greatly help to maintain stability.

This dredge offers excellent gold recovery just like our other products, and cleanup is quick and easy for a minimum of down time. This dredge has earned a solid reputation for performance and dependability. These commercial quality machines are currently being operated with great results in North America, South America, Africa, and throughout the Pacific.

OUTSTANDING DREDGE VACUUM AND LONG LIFE

Proline manufactures one of the most comprehensive series of pumps in the small dredge industry today. These are high performance centrifugal pumps designed specifically for operating our dredges and dual-purpose machines. First, they are cast in the US from high quality aluminum then heat treated to a “T-6” hardness for years of service. Each part is then machined on computer controlled equipment to maintain the exact tolerances required for optimum performance. Proline pumps are 5-vane and 6-vane “aggressive bite” impellers with large intake throats to provide high volume with working pressure greater than normally found on pumps of this type. They are hand-assembled using US made seals and grade 8 hardware. The quality and performance of these units, when coupled with Proline’s efficient jetting systems, offers outstanding dredge vacuum, very little required service, and long life.

Excellent face mask if you are using a snorkel or a regulator and compressor air kit. Quality tempered glass for durability. Made to work as hard as you do!

Excellent face mask if you are using regulator and compressor air kit.

Great for when you want that extra warmth in cold water.

Mouth piece is removed from the regulator, and the regulator (not included) is installed in the mask.

Often gold claims are hard to access, and having an extra pump seal can save time; since it can be changed in the field with simple hand tools.

For Honda GX120, GX160, and GX200 engines with 5/8 inch shaft

For Honda GX270 and GX390 engines with 1 inch shaft

It connects easily to dredge motor to supply hookah breathing system.. The T80 compressors are recommended for shallow diving conditions including dredging. Factory recommended RPM is 1800 5/8″ shaft. Produces 1.8 CFM at 45 PSI.

It is suggested to purchase a PS2 pump seal since the pump will need to be removed to install the compressor kit.
