The small dredge pump that realises big things

Hydraulically driven submersible dredge pumps

COMPACT YET POWERFUL

Fit for any dredging job

The DOP submersible dredge pump is a heavy-duty slurry pump designed with a harsh dredging environment in mind. The compact submersed pump is directly powered by a hydraulic motor. The impeller has a large sphere passage and is cast in wear resistant material. This makes the DOP pump fit for any dredging job.

EXCHANGEABLE SUCTION HEADS

The ‘jack of all trades’

Even though the DOP pump may be the smallest piece of dredging equipment in your fleet, it may well be the most versatile one. The DOP pump unit adapts effortlessly to its next job as it can easily exchange its suction head. These range from a jet water assisted sand mining head, to a cutter unit to break up cohesive soils, and from an auger head for precision dredging to a leveller head for clearing building pits or barges. Therefore the DOP pump is transformed into the perfect tool for your next dredge job.

HOW DOES DOP DREDGING WORK?

The DOP dredge package

The equipment required for a DOP dredge job is usually quite straightforward. The DOP sub pump is attached to the boom of an excavator or hung in a crane. As the DOP pump is a hydraulic dredge pump it will run on either the hydraulics of the excavator, or on an additional power pack. The complete unit can be placed on a quay or pontoon, whatever the job demands. Additionally, flexible hoses or piping are required for the mixture discharge.

THE DREDGING PROCESS

Advantages of a submersed pump

The challenge in a dredge job is to maximise the dredge pump’s mixture concentration. A higher concentration will result in improved dredging efficiency. The submersed DOP ensures that the concentration is maximised: it is located as close as possible to the sediment to be removed. Moreover, the static head improves the pump output. Additionally, a jet water assisted mining head or a cutter head will both loosen the bottom material, making it much easier to pump up. All these elements combine to optimise dredge production.
