1500m3/h cutter suction dredger
In the year of 2025, Our factory Qingzhou Yongli Mining and Dredging Machinery Co.,ltd had exported a dredger to India customer. They use it at a coastal port channel. Because heavy silt deposition reduced water depth and threatened ship navigation, they launched dredging work. They fixed the vessel with spuds, lowered the rotating cutter head to cut seabed sediment, and the slurry pump sucked mud‑water mixture through pipelines to discharge ashore, gradually deepening the navigation channel as planned.

Cutter Suction Dredger represented by model YLCSD‑300 belongs to high‑performance Sand Dredging ship. As professional Dredge Equipment, Cutter Suction Dredger gains wide recognition across the industry as Sand dredger. Cutter Suction Dredger focuses on River dredging and multiple kinds of water‑area silt removal projects. This series of Cutter Suction Dredger adopts dismountable structural solution. The dismountable structural solution enables Sand Dredging ship to adapt to multiple transportation modes covering road transport, rail transport and sea shipment. Cutter Suction Dredger features heavy‑duty robust overall design. The overall strength of Sand Dredging ship adapts to complex underwater geological working conditions. The main body of Dredge Equipment fully resists wear and impact brought by long‑term underwater operations. All functional modules of Sand dredger support simultaneous coordinated operation. River dredging sites do not require shutdown for individual‑function switching. Cutter Suction Dredger can carry out continuous and stable sediment excavation and slurry delivery tasks.
Cutter Suction Dredger is equipped with spacious, ergonomically designed control cabin and engine room. The operator cabin of Sand Dredging ship is fitted with air‑conditioning units. The operating environment of Dredge Equipment guarantees continuous work for operators under high‑temperature, humid open‑water conditions. Operation logic of Sand dredger is straightforward. On‑site operators for River dredging projects can finish hands‑on training within a short period. Cutter Suction Dredger greatly shortens the on‑boarding learning cycle for Sand Dredging ship. Dredge Equipment supports easy maintenance procedures. Components of Sand dredger deliver outstanding durability performance. Cutter Suction Dredger maintains stable and consistent working output even under high‑frequency River dredging scenarios. All hardware assemblies of Cutter Suction Dredger balance durability and convenient inspection. Cutter Suction Dredger cuts downtime for maintenance of Dredge Equipment, raises effective working hours of Sand Dredging ship, and guarantees steady dredging capacity of Sand dredger throughout River dredging construction.
or YLCSD‑300 Cutter Suction Dredger, slurry capacity reaches 1200m³ per hour. Such high slurry capacity makes Dredge Equipment highly competitive for large‑scale River dredging. The slurry concentration handled by Sand dredger ranges from 15 % to 20 %. This concentration range allows Cutter Suction Dredger to transfer abundant sand‑water mixture in every working cycle. When the ladder is raised, overall length of Sand Dredging ship hits 29 meters. The breadth of Dredge Equipment measures 6 meters, and hull height is 1.5 meters. Compact hull dimension helps Sand dredger access narrow water channels frequently seen in River dredging assignments.
Maximum dredging depth of Cutter Suction Dredger can reach 12 meters. This working depth enables Sand Dredging ship to handle deep silt layers for River dredging. The maximum discharge distance of Dredge Equipment extends to 1000 meters. Sand dredger can pump mixed slurry over long distances without intermediate booster stations in many construction cases. Total installed power of YLCSD‑300 Cutter Suction Dredger is 648 kw. Adequate power supply supports full‑load synchronous running for every mechanism of Sand Dredging ship. The hydraulic winch of Dredge Equipment offers pulling force of 40 kn, while shaft cutter power of Sand dredger is 45 kw. Powerful cutter assembly grants Cutter Suction Dredger solid cutting performance against compacted sediment during River dredging.
Multiple application scenarios prove the practical value of Cutter Suction Dredger. As versatile Sand Dredging ship, Cutter Suction Dredger acts as core Dredge Equipment for River dredging projects to clear accumulated sand and silt inside inland waterways. Sand dredger can widen and deepen navigation lanes, restore designed water depth for inland river transportation routes. Cutter Suction Dredger also carries out harbor basin dredging tasks. Sand Dredging ship removes underwater sediment inside port basins, prevents berth silting, and keeps safe draft for incoming and outgoing vessels. Dredge Equipment undertakes reservoir sediment‑cleaning work as well. Sand dredger lowers sediment accumulation inside reservoirs, protects reservoir storage capacity. River dredging for flood‑control channels is another typical mission for Cutter Suction Dredger. Sand Dredging ship clears sediment inside flood‑discharge channels, secures water flow capacity during flood seasons. Dredge Equipment is also applicable for land reclamation projects. Sand dredger transports sand‑rich slurry to designated zones for land formation work.
Transport flexibility forms one major advantage of Cutter Suction Dredger. Sand Dredging ship adopts dismountable construction. Dredge Equipment can be fully taken apart so separate sections fit road trucks, railway wagons or ocean‑going cargo vessels. Sand dredger does not rely on special large‑size barges for long‑distance relocation. Cutter Suction Dredger can be shipped to remote project sites for River dredging without complex water‑borne delivery arrangements. After component arrival at project waterfront, field crews assemble all modules of Sand Dredging ship on‑site. Dredge Equipment can quickly enter formal working status for River dredging. Such feature greatly cuts overall logistics cost and delivery cycle for Sand dredger.
