USP 5,651,200 is an improved small

augerhead type dredge system which

reduces clogging of the system’s pump

impeller intake eye by utilizing a cutter/

grate device to prevent ingestion of

debris into the system’s pump by

cutting up vegetation and excluding

debris prior to entry into the pump’s

impeller eye, and, by utilizing a

transition box structure behind the

augerhead that has a back-flush and a

manual clean-out box.

Applications for an exclusive or

partially exclusive license should

contain the information set forth in 37

CFR 404.8. Applications will be

evaluated utilizing the following
