Crisafulli Rotomite™ Dredges
One of the first
Rotomite 6000's launched in 2002

SRS Crisafulli's new website focusing on Crisafulli Dredges - i.e., FLUMPs and
Rotomites
SRS (sludge removal systems) Crisafulli’s
new, improved, re-engineered dredge – the Rotomite 6000 TM
–
for Municipal, Industrial facilities Managers and Contractors
The
Rotomite 6000 enables facilities managers and contractors to achieve lower costs
and greater performance resulting in higher value – enhanced
return-on-investment. New features
include:
 | Higher
torque cutterhead is driven by dual hydraulic motors delivers
11,000 inch pounds (1243Nm) of digging torque |
| Crisafulli’s
Cobra Cutterhead TM combines aggressive hardened teeth
with a unique opposing auger design
to drive dredged material towards the center of the cutterhead and directly
in front of the pump intake for maximum capture of solids, highest
efficiency and reduced turbidity. Fully
articulating, the cutterhead can be rotated 80 degrees to attack compacted,
settled wastes. |
| Multiple
drive systems – Rotomite
boasts on-board self propulsion or you
can run on a cable or pivoting
traverse system – all capable of variable speed forward and reverse
functionality. |
| Should
the operator desire to use a traverse system rather than Rotomite’s self
propulsion feature, Crisafulli’s proprietary Pivoting Traverse System TM enables the Rotomite
6000 operator to turn the dredge 180 degrees in minutes at the end of each
pass without disengaging the cabling system -- thereby eliminating down time and improving productivity
up to 40%. |
| A
42% increase in engine horsepower (compared to the former Rotomite 180P)
to 255 HP increases the power and productivity of all systems on the
Rotomite 6000, including an approximate 50% greater thrust from the
self-propulsion system. The
more powerful John Deere engine enables simultaneous operation of all dredge
functions. The increased thrust
enables the self-propelled Rotomite 6000 to be used in a wider range of
applications without the delays involved in setting up a cabling traverse
system. |
| A
new operator cab (with air and
heat) mounted forward on the dredge for greater
visibility, is accessible from either side of the dredge for improved
convenience, productivity and safety. Fingertip operator controls have been redesigned to
reduce operator fatigue and improve operator alertness and productivity. |
| Safety
features include:
USCG approved safety equipment
clean, unobstructed decks
360 degree visibility
rapid access to all systems
a sturdy safety rail and secured entry points fore and aft. |
| Durability. All steel construction, TMT 601 Boride fusion
coating available for extended life against abrasion. Custom Rotomite 6000 can be built in stainless steel. |
| Production.
Crisafulli 6” discharge J-Series
pump can process up to 120 cubic yards per hour of sludge.
The cutterhead can be lifted above the water surface for service and
inspection. Rotomite dredges to a depth of 19.5 feet. Greater depth
capabilites are available in custom models. |
