The Model 7012 HP Versi-Dredge is ideal for rivers, lakes, beach projects, port projects, and production sand mining. Like all Versi-Dredge systems the Starwheel Drive system allows the dredge to be completely self-propelled. The 7012 HP is the "flag ship" of the IMS product line. The 425 horse power unit utilizes its 10" x 12" GIW pump directly behind the ultra aggressive Excavator Cutterhead equipped with replaceable, hardened sharks teeth and excavator teeth. The submerged pump achieves a higher percentage of solids than ladder mounted cutter suction dredges. The HP (High Pressure) pump on the 7012 HP is a GIW 10" x 12" cast iron, hi-chrome sand pump that can pump sand to a maximum distance of between 4,000'-4,500' depending on specific gravity of the material. The 7012 HP is the only one truck transportable self-propelled dredge in the world that can dig down to a standard depth of 30' without having to be disassembled for road transport. The 7012 HP can dig deeper and pump a higher percentage of solids than any of other dredge in its class. IMS's policy to stock the 7012 HP allows its customers to take advantage of quick delivery times and lower prices than IMS's competition since multiple units are built at once allowing IMS to negotiate better prices with its suppliers.
