MC-915 SP
The Mud Cat MC-915-SP is a bottom pump unit utilizing a 238 hp diesel motor to drive hydraulic pumps that in turn drive hydraulic motors connected to a pump capable of 2000 USGPM against 150 ft of head. Discharge is through an 8” pipe. This unit is useful on shorter distances where a consistent thick sludge is needed, such as to supply our centrifuge dewatering plant. The “SP” has a standard digging depth of 15ft and it cuts a pass 9ft wide. The patented auger shield is extremely useful in preventing the re-suspension of sedimentary solids which can contaminate the pond or waterway.
Mud Cat dredges manufactured by Ellicott Dredge (USA) are known to be of the best environmental dredges in the world. Other dredging plants have been tried by us, however, proved unsatisfactory for our purposes.
