Dredging deeper
Mining sand or tailing involves an ever increasing dredging depth. That is what this Electric Deep Cutter Suction Dredger has been designed for : dredging deeper with full power on the cutter. And with a practical direct drive of the submersed dredge pump and catamaran execution.
A compact dredger
The Mining Dredger can dredge up to a cutter depth of -25 metres or a suction depth of -37 metres. It is fully dismountable; most components fit into standard sized containers for easy transport. To maximise production, a submerged dredge pump is integrated in the suction ladder. This Damen dredge pump is directly driven by ae electric motor which is also mounted onto the ladder.
Catamaran design
The basis of the Mining Dredger is simple: a starboard and a port side pontoon form a catamaran design. The suction ladder is centrally mounted between them. On the ladder is a submersed dredge pump directly driven by an electric motor. The raised control cabin ensures the entire operation can be controlled by a single person.
Submerged dredge pump
The ladder-mounted Damen 600 mm discharge diameter dredge pump has a max mixture capacity of 7,000 m³/h. The submerged dredge pump ensures that the mining operation will be at the highest possible mixture concentration. The wear resistant, directly driven dredge pump is an in-house Damen CFX-design.
Full cutter power
The deep mining dredger has an impressive 110 kilowatts on its cutter head – which is still available at the max dredging depth of 25 metres, a vital requirement when the dredge has to break up compacted soils in a sand pit or cemented tailings in a mining operation.
