Articulation of Rotomite's Cutterhead
Maintaining a 90% cutterhead angle to the Material. An operator of the Rotomite-6000 or the Rotomite-8000 sitting in the cab can control the attitude of the cutterhead towards the Material to be dredged for maximum performance. The recently introduced Rotomite-SD-110 will also have an articulation capability. As the ladder, pump, and cutterhead are lowered, the angle (attitude) of a fixed (non articulating) cutterhead in relation to the vertical face of the Material changes - i.e., if the lowered cutterhead rises at a 30% angle from the lagoon bottom, without articulation the cutterhead will face the Material at a 60% angle causing a reduction in sludge production. With the Rotomite-6000’s articulating cutterhead, the operator can rotate the cutterhead up to 84 degrees to maintain a 90% angle to the vertical face of the Material thereby assuring maximum productivity and minimum turbidity. With the Rotomite-8000’s articulating cutterhead, the operator can rotate the cutterhead up to 70 degrees to maintain a 90% angle to the vertical face of the Material thereby assuring maximum productivity and minimum turbidity. Further, if he so desires, the operator can articulate the cutterhead to carve difficult Material. Only the Rotomite-6000 and the Rotomite-8000 offer this articulation feature.
Hydraulically powered ladder
Hydraulic Ladder Lift. Each of the Rotomite-6000, Rotmite-8000, and Rotomite-SD-110 has two bi-directional hydraulically powered cylinders between the ladder and the Rotomite-6000's platform to lower and raise the rigid, steel ladder, cutterhead, and pump. The hydraulically powered cylinders enable the operator to exert the dredge's weight on the Material being dredged. In combination with cutterhead articulation, the hydraulic powered ladder increases the capacity of the Rotomite-6000’s cutterhead to cut and process sludge. Only the Rotomite-6000 and Rotomite-8000 offer a standard hydraulically powered ladder lowering and lifting mechanism.
