Working Principle
Excavation: The rotating cutter head cuts and loosens submerged materials including mud, clay, and soft rock.
Suction: The powerful mud pump creates vacuum to draw in the loosened materials through the suction pipe.
Transportation: Materials are pressurized and conveyed through the dredger's pipeline system.
Discharge: Materials are either directly discharged to shore or loaded onto barges for transport.
Applications
- Port and waterway construction: Deepwater channel excavation, new port foundation trench excavation
- Land reclamation: Island construction by blowing (capable of 4,500m³/hour)
- Environmental governance: Cleaning polluted sediments, river ecological restoration
- Mining and resource extraction: Subsea mineral mining (phosphate rock, tin sand, etc.)
