Excavating submerged sand is the most common use of a dredge. Sand dredging operations are present in every corner of the globe. No matter what your sand dredging production requirements are, an Ellicott® Dragon® dredge is capable of satisfying your demand.
For sand dredging, Ellicott® Dragon® dredges are used in both man made pit mines and open river systems. |

Shown here is a Series 870 Jet Dragon® dredge that is
electrically powered. Engine emission laws in New
Jersey, USA required this sand dredging operation to power its dredge and booster pump electrically.

This sand mine had very specialized requirements for its mine. The deposits of this New Jersey, USA mine were beyond the depth of any of Ellicott®’s standard dredge models. Ellicott® sales and engineering worked closely
with this operation to design a custom sand dredge that
could reach 80ft (24m) digging depth.
