Fast Flow introduces our new small barge system that is designed for pit slurry/solids removal. The small dredge barge combines with our Twin hydraulic motor / double suction pump with no bearings, no mechanical seals, and no internal friction. Our new FF 4″ Chromium pump is especially effective for pumping coal fly ash and other abrasive slurry/solids in severe service applications. The pump can dredge a 5’ diameter and pump 5’ deep in only minutes. It is important to keep the pump discharge in the full upright position for best results, the barge does an excellent job.
Safety-The barge is designed to be operated outside the pit containment area, there is no operator stationed on the barge when working. The operator is not exposed to fumes and dangerous pit chemicals. By contrast the excavator operator and machine is often working inside the fly ash pit. The barge has tag positioning lines that can move the barge into position.
