The role of a cutter suction dredger

2025-06-09


The cutter suction boat uses a reamer to loosen the sediment at the bottom of the river, and then uses a mud pump to suck in the mud slurry from the suction pipe, which is then sent to the shore or discharged into a mud barge for transportation. Twisted suction dredgers are generally non motorized and are commonly used in hydraulic reclamation projects, suitable for excavating river bottoms with loose soil such as sandy soil and silt. The cutter suction boat with toothed reamer can also excavate harder gravel clay. The suction dredger is used for construction in inland rivers, lake areas, and coastal ports. The operation process of the suction dredger can continuously complete tasks such as digging, transporting, and unloading sediment in one go, making it an efficient and low-cost suction dredger.
