A Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge in Mexico utilizes the Weed Rake to convey 2 ft. tall hyacinths mats to the Weedmaster Cutterhead which chops them into 2-3 inch pieces.
Two model 5012LP Versi-Dredges®, dredge silt and vegetation from a lake restoration project in Vancouver Canada. The contractor chose the IMS Versi-Dredge® for the job due to its versatility and productivity.
Adredge contractor in the U.S. uses an IMS Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® to pump sand 1,600 ft. to the discharge area. The 5012 LP dredger is the smallest dredging system that IMS manufacturers yet it shows how aggressive and productive even the smallest IMS system is.
A Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® dredges sand from a sand pit in Michigan. The contractor chose the Versi-Dredge® due to its ease of mobility from one site to another and its excellent production in sand applications. Note the high production level.
An IMS Dredge Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® w/ Weedmaster Cutterhead and Weed Rake cut through large mats of water hyacinths at a huge lake in Mexico. The Weed Rake provides the Weed Master Cutterhead with a constant feed of hyacinths to maximize production. The Weedmaster cuts the vegetation into 3-5 inch pieces and then pumps them up to 1 kilometer or more away.
The Weedmaster allows the dredge to be converted into a high production weed harvester system. The dredge can continually cut and pump vegetation and never stop to unload unlike inefficient conveyor type harvesters that require a hopper, transport barges, and shore conveyors to unload.
An IMS Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® with the Weedmaster Cutterhead cuts through extremely dense water tussocks comprised of reeds, cattails, and small bushes.
An IMS Dredge Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® cuts a channel through the center of a silted up canal system in the U.S. Midwest.

An IMS Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® w/ Weedmaster Cutterhead & Broadcaster Discharge Attachment cut a clear channel through a dense field of cattails at Edwards Airforce Base in California.
An IMS Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® w/ Weedmaster Cutterhead & Broadcaster Discharge Attachment broadcasts chopped cattails up to 75 feet away. The system never has to stop to unload like a conveyor harvester and it can control where the discharge is sprayed unlike shredding systems that just spew material dangerously in every direction
An IMS Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® w/ Weedmaster Cutterhead & Broadcaster Discharge Attachment cuts down and digests very tall cattails and reeds. Note that the Weedmaster can cut all the way down to the root mass where a conveyor harvester can only go down to a limited depth and cut only part of the stem off. Using the Weedmaster slows down and in many cases eliminates the regrowth of vegetation since the root mass can be removed.
