The 5" has always been popular with dredgers who were looking for the perfect balance of portability with higher productivity. Smaller dredges simply can't process as much gravel and the larger dredges require more effort to get into those more remote areas where the richer gold deposits usually are. This is why the 5" dredge size is normally the smallest dredge chosen by the serious prospectors and professional dredgers. For many, the decision is not which size of dredge to buy, but whether to opt for the single engine or twin engine design.

Proline has added a new single engine dredge design to offer a choice to our well established twin engine platform. The single engine dredge is lighter and lower in cost than the twin engine model, and is directed more toward the enthusiast who may not have the need for the additional power and portability of the twin. The single is powered by your choice of an 8 horse power or 9 horse power Honda engine, and Proline’s HP 500 pump. This engine/pump combination provides for excellent suction power and can offer better fuel consumption over a twin engine dredge that is being operated at full throttle.

The twin engine model is aimed toward the more serious dredger and offers the most suction power of any 5" dredge in its class.  Powered by two 5.5 horse power Honda engines, and Proline’s proven HP 350 pumps, the latest option on the twin engine model is to equip it with dual 6.5 horse power Honda engines and Proline’s HP 400 pumps for even greater power, making it ideal for higher altitudes or extra deep dredging. This dredge is easier to refuel and start due to the location of the pumps, and the two smaller, lighter power plants are easier to handle than the larger single engine. The twin engine model is also capable of driving an additional air compressor, should the need arise. Both dredges use the same modular flotation and sturdy frame which bolts together for ease of transporting and storage when not in use. Naturally, these dredges use the same non-clogging jetting system found on Proline’s other machines.

Of course, gold recovery is the prime factor in determining the worth of any dredge. Proline takes pride in building equipment that delivers consistent recovery of the finest gold. NO machine can possibly keep all of the gold, but our designs have proven that they are capable of recovering finer gold than many of our competitors. Both of the 5" dredges offer excellent recovery.

If you are looking to purchase a high quality 5" dredge, you now have a choice, the Proline single or the Proline twin.  Be aware, this dredge is not currently legal in many areas because it is too large.
