The gold-bearing gravel was sorted and washed on the dredge.ĭredging became possible in the 1920's after the United States Melting, Refining and Mining Company (USSR&M) brought water to the area via the 90-mile Davidson Ditch. The bucket line was driven by a 150 horsepower motor that enabled excavation to depths of 28 feet. This bucket-line or ladder dredge has 68 buckets, each with a capacity of 6 cubit feet. Dredges were brought in to mine gold-bearing deposits in the Fairbanks mining district after 1920. Dredges are also known as Gold dredges, diamond dredges, gold and diamond dredges, dredging plants, dredge mining plants and dredgers.ĭOVE Dredges, besides being integrated with DOVE Floating wash plants, can also be designed in conjunction with land-based processing plants based on the client’s requirement.ĭOVE is a major manufacturer of Dredging equipment for various industries, including: Mining (Diamond Dredges, Gold Dredges, Sand, Gravel & other Minerals Dredges), Construction, Environmental, Navigational, Recreational, Restoration, Maintenance, Etc.Gold Dredge No. This motion of the buckets allows for ease of excavation of the sediments on the riverbed. The chain circulates, dragging the buckets along. BUCKET CHAIN DREDGES:ĭOVE Bucket Chain Dredges are configured with buckets that are attached to a chain. The cutting mechanism serves to loosen the hardened material that forms the riverbed to allow its excavation by the suction inlet. DOVE Cutter Suction Dredges are suction dredges equipped with a cutting mechanism at their suction end.
