Dixie Dredge Pumps
The DIXIE Dredge Company offers a complete range of heavy duty dredge pumps (see below) specifically designed use by DIXIE in its product line of cutter-suction hydraulic dredges but also suited for refurbishing of dredges manufactured by others, dredge booster pump applications or other industrial applications.
Water-end replaceable cast wearing parts are available in a variety of abrasion resistant alloys (steel, manganese steel, high chrome iron, etc.) selected based either on the specific materials being pump or as a general purpose “best choice” for a variety of applications.
All Dixie pumps feature a rugged fabricated
steel pedestal mounting base with integral
facilities for periodically adjusting of the shaft,
bearing assemblies and impeller as a unit to maintain minimum operating clearance between the pump’s impeller and suction side liner.
The high alloy steel shaft of the pump rotates in anti-friction spherical roller bearings (two radial, one thrust) mounted either in a unitized single cast split housing comprising a complete cartridge bearing assembly or on larger models, two separate cast split machined housings.
Shaft sealing is through a conventional water flushed stuffing box arrangement with replaceable bronze water lantern and replaceable stainless shaft sleeve in the area of the high quality ring packing.
