Hydraulic Submersible Dredge Pump with Cutter Head

Hydraulic Submersible Dredge Pump with Cutter Head
The hydraulic submersible dredge pump with cutter head is a system composed of a submersible dredge pump and a matching cutting head. This system utilizes hydraulic power generated by a hydraulic power unit to drive both the pump and the cutter head. The combination of the dredge pump and the cutting head allows for more efficient excavation and removal of materials.

The dredge pump is designed in a submersible fashion, allowing it to be fully immersed underwater. This feature enables it to operate in areas with varying water levels, extracting sediment, silt, and other deposits from the underwater bed. The operational principle involves the creation of a vacuum through the rapid rotation of an impeller, drawing in water along with solid particles suspended within it.

Cutting Head: The cutting head is an attachment located at the inlet of the dredge pump. It is equipped with rotating cutting tools capable of breaking down compacted soil, rocks, and debris on the waterbed. This action results in the formation of loose slurry that remains suspended in the water, making it easier for the pump to draw in.

In essence, this system combines a submersible dredge pump with a cutting head to efficiently excavate and remove materials, utilizing hydraulic power for both pump and cutting operations.
