2.The cutter suction dredger introduction
This cutter suction dredger is an order from India customer. The dredger is designed for sand dredging and gold mining.
The Cutter Suction Dredger of steel construction , the non self-propelled, dismountable type, is able to berth and dredging at any waters both in the coastal area and inland rivers.
The dredgercan also be designed to self-propelled according to customers’ requirement.
The dredger hull consists of a main pontoon and two side pontoons which is to be easy to dismantle for transportation by road, rail or water, and is be easy to reassemble at project site. The engines and dredge pump are located in the center pontoon. Two side pontoons serve as fuel bunkers, ballast tanks and storage tanks.
The dredger is powered by diesel engines. The main diesel engine drive the dredge pump and the auxiliary engine is to drive hydraulic system, including cutter,swing and ladder winches,anchor winches and the spud rams etc.
3. Cutter Suction Dredgers Applications
The cutter suction dredger could work for full time in A/B type sheltered sailing area and inland waterways, lakes and reservoirs because of its high terrain adaptability. The dredger can be used for Sand Dredging and Gold mining etc.
The cutter suction dredger could be used in inland waterways, lakes,coastal areas for projects of desilting and sand dredging.
4. Cutter Suction Dredgers Advantagements
Continuous Operation: The dredger combines cutting and suction in one integrated process, enabling non-stop, highly efficient sand dredging, which significantly boosts productivity compared to intermittent methods.
Long-Distance Pumping Capability: The powerful inboard pump can discharge the dredged slurry over considerable distances through pipelines directly to the disposal site, eliminating the need for transport barges in many cases.
Environmental Control: This dredge machine creates less turbulence and water pollution compared to some other dredgers. The use of environmental cutter heads and enclosed pipelines helps minimize sediment dispersion and ecological impact.
Adaptability: Cutter suction dredgers are highly effective in confined or sheltered waters such as canals, ports, rivers, and lagoons. The dredgers can work close to structures like quay walls with relative precision.
Self-Sufficiency: Larger Cutter suction dredgers are often self-propelled, allowing the dredgers to transit to different project sites independently, reducing mobilization costs and time.
