Product Overview

As a flagship core equipment of Yake, our 18-inch cutter suction dredger is specially designed for large-scale land reclamation, long-distance sediment transportation, and various complex deep-water operations. It adapts to demanding engineering scenarios while balancing operational efficiency and stability, making it the preferred dredging equipment for multinational projects and national strategic initiatives.

The equipment employs a rotating cutter head to efficiently loosen seabed sediments, working in tandem with a high-power mud pump to draw in the loosened material. Sediment is then transported over long distances via dedicated discharge pipelines. Depending on specific project requirements, the dredging depth and discharge distance can be customized, allowing flexible adaptation to diverse complex deep-water operation environments and facilitating efficient project progress.

Working Principle

1. The rotating cutter head operates at high speed, thoroughly loosening seabed sediments and deposits, breaking up hard layers, and laying the groundwork for subsequent transport;
2. A high-power specialized mud pump starts up efficiently, mixing the loosened sediment with water to form a slurry that is quickly drawn into the equipment;
3. Through reinforced discharge pipelines, the slurry is stably conveyed to designated areas, enabling long-distance sediment transfer;
4. Supports customized dredging depths and discharge distances, adapting to deep-water operations, large-scale land reclamation, and other complex scenarios, ensuring continuous and stable operation.
