Excavator Dredge Pump For River Dredging

What is Excavator Dredge Pump?

An excavator submersible dredge pump is a specialized piece of equipment used in dredging operations. It combines the capabilities of an excavator and a submersible pump to remove sediment, debris, and other materials from underwater areas such as lakes, rivers, and harbors.

How Does the Excavator Dredge Pump Work?

The excavator part of the equipment consists of a long arm or boom with a bucket attachment at the end. The excavator is mounted on a pontoon or barge, allowing it to move and operate in shallow or deep water.

Submersible Pump: The submersible pump is designed to be fully submerged underwater. It is typically connected to the excavator's hydraulic system and is positioned near the bucket of the excavator.

Dredging Operation: The excavator submersible dredge pump is maneuvered into position, and the excavator's bucket is used to scoop up sediment and debris from the underwater area. The excavator's arm then swings over and deposits the material into the submersible pump. The pump then sucks in the material and pumps it out through a discharge pipe.

Material Disposal: The dredged material is usually pumped to a designated disposal area, such as a containment site or a designated dumping area. The distance and elevation to which the material can be pumped will depend on the capacity and power of the submersible pump.

Repeat Process: The excavator submersible dredge pump continues the dredging process by repeating the cycle of excavating, loading the pump, and pumping out the material until the desired area has been cleared or the sediment has been sufficiently removed.

Excavator submersible dredge pumps are often used in projects such as maintaining navigable waterways, deepening channels, land reclamation, environmental remediation, and construction projects where underwater excavation and sediment removal are required.

How Does the Excavator Drive the Dredge Pump?

In an excavator submersible dredge pump setup, the excavator drives the dredge pump through its hydraulic system. The hydraulic system of the excavator provides the necessary power and control to operate various attachments, including the dredge pump.

General overview of how the excavator drives the dredge pump

Hydraulic Power: Excavators are equipped with a hydraulic system that consists of a pump, hydraulic lines, and hydraulic cylinders. The pump generates hydraulic pressure, and the hydraulic lines transmit this pressure to various hydraulic components.

Attachment Connection: The excavator is configured to connect the dredge pump to its hydraulic system. This is typically done through hydraulic lines and quick couplers that allow for easy attachment and detachment.

Hydraulic Control: The operator controls the operation of the dredge pump through the excavator's hydraulic controls. These controls include joysticks, pedals, or switches that activate specific hydraulic functions.

Pump Operation: When the operator activates the hydraulic controls for the dredge pump, the hydraulic system directs pressurized hydraulic fluid to the pump's hydraulic motor. The motor converts the hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, driving the pump's impeller or propeller.

Material Suction and Discharge: As the pump's impeller or propeller rotates, it creates a suction effect that draws in the sediment and water mixture from the excavator's bucket or surrounding area. The pump then propels this mixture through the discharge pipe or hose to the designated disposal site.

Hydraulic Flow Control: The excavator's hydraulic system allows for control of the pump's operation, including flow rate, speed, and direction. The operator can adjust these parameters based on the dredging requirements and conditions.

What is the excavator Tons can be mounted with Dredge pump?

Excavators are categorized based on their operating weight, which is typically measured in metric tons (tonnes) or short tons (tons). The weight range of excavators can vary greatly, from compact mini excavators weighing a few tons to large mining or heavy-duty excavators weighing over 100 tons.

Here are some common weight categories for excavators:

Mini Excavators: Typically range from 0.5 to 6 metric tons (1,100 to 13,200 pounds). need with details infomation to check if it is ok

Compact Excavators: Generally range from 6 to 10 metric tons (13,200 to 22,000 pounds). need with details infomation to check if it is ok

Mid-Size Excavators: Can range from 10 to 20 metric tons (22,000 to 44,000 pounds).ok

Standard Excavators: Usually range from 20 to 45 metric tons (44,000 to 99,000 pounds). ok

Large Excavators: Generally range from 45 to 100 metric tons (99,000 to 220,000 pounds). ok

Mining/Heavy-Duty Excavators: Can exceed 100 metric tons (220,000 pounds) and go up to several hundred metric tons. Ok
