Dredging Vessels

Sediment dredging by digging soils beneath water using a rotating wheel fitted buckets

  • Dredging depth: up to 15 meters

The Bucket Wheel Dredger is an advanced vessel designed for dredging, mining, and hydraulic engineering projects. It works by using a rotating bucket wheel at the front of the vessel to cut into the underwater soil or sediment. As the wheel turns, the buckets scoop up the material and transport it via an internal conveyor system to the slurry pump. The pump creates suction, turning the material into slurry, which is then discharged through a pipeline to your desired location.

If you're looking for an efficient and reliable solution for your dredging or mining project, our Bucket Wheel Dredger can help. Contact us today to discuss how we can support your project with our advanced dredging equipment!

Applications

Our Bucket Wheel Dredger is widely used in river dredging, lake sediment removal, reservoir cleaning, port construction and maintenance, coastal waterway dredging, land reclamation projects, and various other engineering applications.

Features
  • Strong Excavation Power: The bucket wheel has high cutting power, effectively excavating soil in complex geological conditions, such as hard soil and gravel.
  • High Precision Excavation: With precise control over the bucket wheel's rotation and cutting depth, it can achieve accurate dredging in specific areas.
  • Continuous Operation: The bucket wheel operates continuously, ensuring smooth sediment transportation and allowing for large volumes of excavation and transportation in a short time.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Compared to other types of dredgers, our Bucket Wheel Dredger minimizes sediment dispersion during excavation, reducing the environmental impact on surrounding water areas.
