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 transport, and various complex deep-water operations. It is suitable for demanding engineering scenarios, balancing operational efficiency with 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 conjunction 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 scenarios and supporting efficient project progress.

Working Principle

1. The rotating cutter head operates at high speed, thoroughly loosening seabed sediments and deposits, breaking up hard layers of mud, thereby laying the groundwork for subsequent transport;
2. A high-power specialized mud pump is activated to efficiently mix the loosened sediments with water, forming 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. Customizable dredging depths and discharge distances are supported, adapting to deep-water operations, large-scale land reclamation, and other complex scenarios, ensuring continuous and stable operation.
