Keene's 8 Inch Dredges are the gold standard (punn intended) for the most substantial, professional yet portable dredges on the market today.

This is one of the most cost-effective and economical dredges in the industry. Both of these dredges are powered by two lightweight engines as opposed to one larger, heavier engine which also increases maneuverability.

Smaller engines mean that they can be transported by hand without the need for larger equipment for transport. The 8246V and 8246VE are mounted on flotation modules that feature large carpeted decks that provide excellent traction and workspace.

The 8246VE sluice box has been extended to 16 feet in length. The first section is our 3-stage sluice box for fine & coarse gold and the second half is dedicated to the efficient recovery of gemstones.

Both of these dredges are powered by twin 23 horsepower, commercial Vanguard gasoline engines with electric starter, for long life, reliability and economy. These models include separate 5 gallon gas tanks that mount on the float for ease of refueling as well as extended running time. The suction system has an over-sized power jet and twin injectors for maximum suction power to reduce the occurrence of rock jams. This is probably the most portable 8 inch dredge on the market. All of the components can be broken down into small enough sections so that they can easily be carried by hand.

 

The 8246's are equipped with a 263 compressor for an ample air supply that can accommodate two divers. These models are designed for ease of assembly and operation in the most severe of conditions.

The engine features a 2 year warranty and operates on approximately 1.5 gallons per hour making it one of the most economical 8 inch dredges on the market.

The suction system is equipped oversized power jet and twin injectors for maximum suction power and to reduce occurrence of rock jams. This dredge is also equipped with a secondary dredge system that can vacuum the concentrates from the sluice box while in operation. The concentrates can then be transported to shore and processed through other separation methods.

The ability to clean the sluice box and operate continuously greatly enhances both recovery and productivity.
