Bay Island Drainage District Selects An IMS Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge … Again

“The new dredge works great! The increased efficiency with the patented Pump Defender^® and the whole machine in general will make it a great asset to the Bay Island Drainage District. And a big thanks to Ryan Horton for setting everything up and Rob Carufel of EDT Field Service for his expertise on running the machine and training us,” said Jake Elliott, Board Member, Bay Island Drainage District.

Bay Island’s 5012 LP is a standard configuration unit with IMS’s Anti-Corrosion Package, patented Pump Defender technology, and patented Starwheel Drive^® self-propulsion system. Another feature which really improved performance was IMS’s patented Traction Master^® which automatically switches the speed and torque of the Starwheel paddles depending on where they are positioned. For example, when the operator is moving down the center of the canal in heavier winds the Starwheels are in the down position and switch from a high-speed paddle to a high-torque low-speed cleated-drive on the bottom of the canal. This leads to better traction and overall dredging performance.
