Rotomite-6000

Contractors, Municipal and Industrial Facilities Managers remove settled solids faster and more easily than ever with Crisafulli's new, improved, re-engineered dredge - the more powerful and more versatile Rotomite-6000. More power. A 42% Increase in engine horsepower (compared to the Rotomite 180P) to 225 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. New operator cab. A new operator cab (with optional 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. Improved controls. Crisafulli engineers redesigned fingertip operator controls to reduce operator fatigue and improve operator alertness and productivity. New Cutterhead. Dual hydraulic motors deliver 11,000 inch-pounds (1243Nm) of digging torque to Crisafulli's new Cobra Cutterhead^TM. The Cobra Cutterhead combines aggressive hardened teeth with an 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. The operator can articulate (rotate 80 degrees) the cutterhead to attack compacted, settled wastes.

Self-propelled and steerable

Crisafulli's unique steerable variable speed hydraulically powered propulsion system provides approximately 1,000 pounds of thrust enabling the Rotomite-6000 and its Crisafulli 6" discharge J-Series pump to dredge and process up to 150 cubic yards of sludge and slurries per hour at depths up to 20 feet (standard; deeper in custom models) in a wide range of applications without the cost and delays of a cabled traverse system. Should the operator desire to use a traverse system rather than the Rotomite's self-propulsion feature, Crisafulli's patented Pivoting Traverse System^TM enables the Rotomite 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 95%.

Rotomite-6000 Rentals

In addition to sales, Crisafulli offers short-term rentals of its Rotomite-6000.

History

Crisafulli introduced the Rotomite-6000 in 2002 as the most recent of several models of self-propelled Rotomites engineered and manufactured by Crisafulli over more than twenty years. Earlier models include the Rotomite 142P and the Rotomite 180P. Crisafulli customers have purchased more than 96 Rotomites in recent years.
