Characteristics of Cutter Suction Dredger

Characteristics of Cutter Suction Dredger

Among the many types of dredgers, the use of cutter suction dredgers is the most extensive. Here we will introduce the characteristics of cutter suction dredgers.

1.Cutter suction dredgers are widely used and can operate in reservoirs, lakes, rivers, and sheltered ports for dredging, channel excavation, reclamation, and sometimes even for excavating rock formations.

2.Cutter suction dredgers have high working efficiency, large output, and long pumping distance. The hourly flow rate of large cutter suction dredgers can reach several thousand cubic meters; mud and debris materials are pumped through the mud pump and discharged through a pipeline, sometimes kilometers away.

3.Cutter suction dredgers are easy to operate and control. During operation, the cutter is controlled to swing left and right to cut the sediment by two winches on both sides, and two piles at the stern of the ship alternate to move the ship forward.

4.Cutter suction dredgers are economical. The excavation and transportation of materials are completed at one time, without the need for other ships to cooperate, resulting in relatively low engineering costs.

5.The modular design facilitates transportation and disassembly. It is designed and constructed in a modular form and can be transported to the site by land and assembled for use.
