Eagle Dynamic Solutions of Evans, Georgia, just recently took shipment of their 2nd Mud Cat® 115D after their very first Mud Cat 115D was a total success for their dredging operations.
In addition to the purchase of another Mud Cat 115D, Eagle likewise bought a trademarked WeedMaster® Cutterhead for transforming their existing Mud Cat 115D to a hydraulic weed harvester.
“We bought our first Mud Cat 115D in January 2022. We have used it to pump biosolids from paper manufacturing process, alum sludge from water treatment, and a mixture of sand and sediment from a raw water pumping source,” said Evan Morgan, Director of Sales, Eagle Dynamic Solutions.
“Our operators say the machine runs smoothly in all applications. We have not needed a booster pump and in most cases are pumping greater than 1,000 ft. (305m). The machine is easy to move and doesn’t require a large crane. We have yet to experience any equipment failures on our MC 115D dredges so far.”
After attaining success with their very first MC 115D, Eagle when again went with EDT to set up a Krohne circulation meter and Mud Cat’s Autec radio push-button control with digital depth gauge which offers versatility to operate in hazardous ponds where it is not safe for workers to be on the dredge.
The WeedMaster innovation, initially an IMS brand name item, has actually been included as an optional function to all brand-new Mud Cat diesel digs up beginning in 2023.
Other functions consist of Mud Cat’s Transport – Launch – Retrieve (TLR) Trailer which enables the dredge to be quickly carried and introduced without a crane.
