800 m3 cutter suction dredger 

We have successfully exported a 800 m³/h cutter suction dredger to an overseas client. This Sand dredging ship is designed for efficient dredging operations, with a maximum dredging depth of 14 meters and a discharge distance of 1,500 meters. After strict production, commissioning, and sea trials, the sand dredge machine  was delivered on schedule to meet the client’s needs for port construction, waterway dredging, and coastal engineering projects. The whole process followed international standards, ensuring high quality and reliable performance for long-term operation.

Cutter Suction Dredger

Cutter Suction Dredger Description

The YLCSD-250 is a medium-sized cutter suction dredger specifically engineered for high-efficiency dredging operations. Integrating precise operational performance with stable running design, it is equipped with a total installed power of 405 KW, enabling an ultra-large water flow rate of 800 m³/h and a solid production capacity of 120-160 cbm/hr. This versatile equipment is well-suited for various complex water construction needs, serving as a core operational tool in port, waterway, and coastal engineering projects.

Cutter Suction Dredger Core Features

  1. Flexible Operational Range: The sand dredger With a maximum dredging depth of 14 meters at a 45° angle and a minimum dredging depth of only 0.9 meters, it covers operations from shallow beaches to medium-deep waters. Boasting an average draft of 0.9 meters and a maximum draft of 1.0 meter, it navigates shallow water areas without difficulty.

  1. Excellent Conveying Efficiency: This dredge machine Equipped with a suction pipe inner diameter of 300mm (12 inches) and a discharge pipe inner diameter of 250mm (10 inches), it achieves a maximum discharge distance of 1000 meters. The slurry concentration is maintained at 15-20%, ensuring stable conveyance without clogging.

  1. Balanced Performance Parameters: With a total weight of 60 tons, it features a compact structure for easy deployment. The 8T large-capacity fuel tank supports long-term continuous operation, eliminating the need for frequent refueling.

  1. Powerful Dynamic Configuration: The 405 KW total installed power provides abundant energy, balancing operational efficiency and energy consumption to adapt to high-intensity construction scenarios.

Cutter Suction Dredger Core Functions

  1. High-Efficiency Dredging: Adopting an integrated cutting and suction design, it rapidly completes the excavation, suction, and conveyance of underwater sand and sludge, ensuring stable output of solid production capacity.

  1. Precise Depth Control: It supports multi-depth operations within the range of 0.9-14 meters, meeting the precise dredging depth requirements of different projects.

  1. Long-Distance Slurry Conveyance: The maximum discharge distance of 1000 meters allows direct conveyance of dredged materials to designated areas, reducing the cost of secondary transportation.

  1. Stable Endurance Operation: The reasonable power distribution and 8T fuel tank design guarantee the equipment's continuous operation capability during field or open-sea operations.

  2. Cutter Suction Dreger Core Advantages

    1. High Efficiency & Energy Conservation: The power is accurately matched with flow rate and production capacity, ensuring operational efficiency while reducing energy consumption, resulting in lower long-term usage costs.

    1. Strong Adaptability: The shallow draft design is suitable for restricted waters such as shallow beaches and inland rivers, and the wide dredging depth range covers multiple operational scenarios, offering broad geographical adaptability.

    1. Easy Operation & Deployment: Its compact structure and moderate total weight facilitate convenient transportation and on-site deployment, requiring no complex supporting equipment. This saves time and labor costs during project initiation.

    1. Stable & Reliable Performance: Strictly adhering to international manufacturing standards, the equipment features a robust structural design and high-quality components. The balanced parameter configuration ensures stable operation even in harsh working conditions, minimizing maintenance frequency.

    1. Cost-Effective Operation: The optimized design reduces not only energy consumption but also the wear and tear of key components. The 8T large fuel tank extends operational intervals, while the standardized parts simplify maintenance and reduce downtime, enhancing overall project efficiency.
