Nickel (black) metal alloys are indicated for the movement of various materials but with greater resistance to sand and sedimentary residues that promote abrasion.Īpproximate Weight: 3 'Pump - 73kg / 4' Pump - 76kg / 5½ 'Pump - 140kg / 6½' Pump - 184kg / 8 '- 240kg Pump. Steel (green) alloys are indicated for the movement of various materials but with greater resistance to stones, pebble and small gravel that promote impact. Iron (yellow) alloys are indicated for moving sludge, organic sediments, mud, gravel and sand in low concentration. It supports 70% liquid to 30% solids handling during its operation.Įquipment available in different metal alloys (Carcass or Snail) for better adaptation to the material to be dredged. Pump often used for irrigation, fish farming, animal waste drainage, sludge / mud / sand transportation for industry and mining applications. Sturdy metal alloy, product with Brazmix quality assurance.Īpplication: Suitable for the most diverse liquid and solid handling purposes in short, medium and long distances. Below pic is close up of the schist I have blasted clean & washed out.Brazmix Original Dredging Pump. As you can see in the above pics this bedrock would be under water in a flood & the schist fingers trapping this gold in its cracks & cleverage. The fine gold would have tended to be carried on further down stream in a flood. The gold here was generally of a chunkier, coarse flat nature & not so much fine.

The gold in the pan in the above pic is the result from a couple of hours of doing that crevicing & cleaning out of the schist bedrock in the others pics from a river in Central Otago in the south island of NZ. Generally I just shovel straight in to it & hook the motor/pump up to the spray bars. This was the first time I used it with the ply board on the front to take my 2' suction nozzle hose set up. Like the little high banker above & below. I am a fan of making as much of my own gear as possible. Always a pleasure to share what little I know & have learnt from others & also by experiance. G'day Hoser John, Yer mate.Kiwi as in NZ (New Zealand) Great site here.
