Mini Auger ModDredge

Compact. Liner-Safe. High-Solids Dredging


The Mini Auger ModDredge is a compact, remote-operated dredging system designed for high-solids pumping in lined ponds, lagoons, canals, tailings ponds, and industrial basins. Built around EDDY Pump non-clog technology, it is engineered for projects where conventional dredges are too aggressive, too large, or too expensive to mobilize.

  • Available in 4-inch and 6-inch systems (and up to 16-inches for larger dredging projects)
  • Built for liner-sensitive and access-limited dredging
  • Remote-operated for safer shoreline control
  • High-solids pumping for less water handling
  • Fast mobilization and simple deployment

Why Mini Auger ModDredge Is Different

 The Mini Auger ModDredge is designed for projects where conventional dredges are too aggressive, too large, or too inefficient for the site conditions. It is built to support compact, liner-sensitive, high-solids dredging in ponds, lagoons, canals, basins, and other confined or access-limited environments. 

Higher Solids, Less Water Handling

Traditional dredges often move a high volume of water relative to the actual solids being removed. The Mini Auger ModDredge is designed for higher-solids dredging, helping move more material with less excess water. That can reduce water rehandling, improve production efficiency, and lower downstream settling or disposal requirements. Actual solids concentration depends on material, system configuration, and operating conditions. 

Consistent Performance in Difficult Material

 The Mini Auger ModDredge is built for challenging slurry environments, including abrasive sediment, non-homogeneous solids, and variable material conditions. This helps maintain more consistent dredging performance in applications where conventional systems may lose efficiency or struggle with changing material.

  • Higher-solids dredging with less excess water
  • Reduced water rehandling and settling demand
  • More efficient material removal in compact applications
  • Better fit for abrasive and variable material conditions
  • Designed for controlled dredging in sensitive environments
Slurry Pump can pass large solids

Why It Outperforms Conventional Small Dredges

Higher Solids, Less Water

The Mini Auger ModDredge is designed to move more solids and less excess water than many conventional dredging systems. That means less water rehandling, less downstream settling demand, and more productive material removal. 

Liner-Safe Dredging

For lined ponds and similar sensitive environments, the Mini Auger ModDredge can be configured with a self-cleaning auger and liner-sensitive intake approach rather than an aggressive cutterhead. This helps reduce liner-related risk while still allowing efficient solids removal.

Compact Mobilization 

The system is designed for lower mobilization burden than larger dredges, making it a strong fit for smaller jobs, remote sites, and projects that do not justify a large conventional dredge package.

Remote Operation 

Operators can control the system from shore or a safer remote position, reducing exposure to unstable ground, water hazards, and difficult working conditions.

Best Fit Applications

 The Mini Auger ModDredge is best suited for compact or liner-sensitive dredging projects where high-solids pumping, easier mobilization, and remote operation are important.

4-Inch vs 6-Inch: Which Mini Auger ModDredge Should You Choose?

 Both Mini Auger ModDredge models are built for compact, high-solids dredging. The best choice depends on production needs, site constraints, and the size of the pond, lagoon, or basin. Typical applications include lagoon dredging, pond sediment removal, environmental remediation, small mining operations, and industrial wastewater basins.

How the Mini Auger ModDredge Supports Liner-Sensitive Dredging

Liner-sensitive dredging requires a different approach than standard cutterhead dredging. The Mini Auger ModDredge is designed to support projects where liner protection is a major concern, including HDPE-lined ponds, lined containment basins, clay-lined ponds, and certain engineered water systems.

  • Self-cleaning auger configuration available for liner-sensitive work

  • Reduced dependence on aggressive cutterhead contact

  • Better fit for lined ponds and sensitive basin cleanouts

  • Controlled, compact dredging approach for engineered environments

Higher Production Without Liner Compromise

Because Mini Auger ModDredge maintains high solids concentrations (30–70%) even at low contact pressures, operators can remove more material per hour, avoid repeated passes near the liner, and complete lined-pond cleanouts faster with fewer operational cycles
