Dredging takes place in shallow water areas of lakes, rivers or ocean for the purpose of land reclamation, desilting, flood prevention, creation of new ports or expansion of existing ports. Dredging is referred to as the process of transport of underwater sediments (usually sand, gravel or rocks) from one region to another (a piece of typical dredging equipment is shown in Figure 1). The fluid mixture by and large consists of water as a liquid with solids being minerals, sand, gravel, human waste, drilling mud or most of the crushed materials.ĭredge pumps are a special category of heavy-duty slurry pumps that are utilized in the process of dredging. Slurry pumps are the mechanical devices utilized for pressure-driven transport of a fluid mixture (aka slurry). Thanks to this unique cooperation, Waterking has the best dredging pumps and spare parts in the world.Definition of Dredge Pump and Slurry Pump Waterking cooperates with one of the world’s largest dredging equipment manufacturers, DAMEN. Thanks to our many years of experience in the implementation of equipment, we are able to advise you on a work methods and what equipment works best for your project. The powerpack is fully integrated on the machine and can be operated from the cabin.įor pumping the dredged material, we also supply dredging hoses, pressure pipes and floaters. The dredging set can be extended with a powerpack, so that larger dredging pumps can also be used. The amphibious excavators (WK 200 – WK 400) can be equipped with a dredge pump so that the machine can function as a full-fledged cutter suction dredger. The pumps are directly powered by either a hydraulic or an electric motor, mounted in a protective casing.ĭifferent heads can be mounted on the dredge pump, such as a cutter head, water jet, leveller suction unit,auger, etc. We offer a complete range of heavy-duty dredge pumps.
