![]() ![]() I'll be packing this thing itm 1 - 5 miles. My biggest hold up right now is figuring out what is the most powerful, light weight, and yet affordable battery to run it. On the suction nozzle the pump would be probably be mounted a foot or so in back of the nozzle and feed into the nozzle via a 3/4" line to create the suction.Īt first I'll probably feed it all into a standard sluice box while I complete the floats, etc. Thiis would limit me to 1000gph pumps I believe. My plan is to use a seperate bilge pump on each line having a total amps of no more than 10. Factory recommended RPM is 1800 5/8' keyway shaft. The T80 compressors are recommended for shallow diving conditions including dredging. ![]() It connects easily to dredge motor to supply hookah breathing system. ![]() At some point (I'm guessing about 6' from the box I will put a Power Jet in the line.įrom what I understand this would almost triple the amount of suction and while helping the material to make it to the box. The T-80 is a medium-duty oilless diaphragm compressor with pressure relief valve. My design is significantly differentfrom others in that I plan to use a suction hose that's 15' from the box to the nozzle. In a good creek power jet, In puddle jumping use the suction nozzle.I have watched those already.along with every other electric dredge/sluice box video on yuotube. The idea is that if you are using a jet flare and should you pop the hose out of the water and lose prime the pressure jet may blast material out of the box, find the angle in which the jet blows over the sluice should somthing bad like that happen. This may be different than yours, I'm not sure if you have a crashbox or a jet flare. The jet inlet position doesn't matter too much on my dredge as I still use the old crashbox style header. The jet log will get better gas mileage than a suction nozzle and provide better suction should you keep it floating on the pontoons. Figure out what rocks to throw away and not hog the nozzle and you will do well. The nozzle restriction will rob your production, fill with small rocks and reduce the flow over the box, the gravels compact, clear the nozzle, and your boxes scour. Don't put any kind of restriction on the nozzle! It's all bad! Get a snorkel and mask and look what is going up the nozzle. ![]()
