This Plain Suction version of the Quick Dredge is designed not only for delving operations such as sand mining but also dam dredging and dredging of tailings.
The Quick Mining Dredge is a plain suction version that is used in applications such as sand mining, tailings dredging etc, in environments that contain free flowing soils.
For building projects abroad we offer Design & Equipment packages. with a partner as ECTMarine you will be able to build your dredger anywhere.
The Quick Cutter Dredge includes a cutterhead with a power of 15 kW for dredging of more compact soils.
We can customize where standardization is the norm. Due to our focus and way of engineering, we can offer economical customized solutions to your dredging challenges.
ECTMarine can fabricate dredgers and dredging parts in-house to ensure quality and on time delivery. Fabrication can also be done by the client according to ECTMarine design.
Dredging is our core business. Innovation and development of dredgers and other marine related vessels, is our main added value to your business.
The following features can be added to the basic Quick Dredge to enhance its performance and capabilities.
In the heart of the dredger sits The Dredge pump. The pump is of a reputed design made of high wear resistant material. The pump is selected on quality, performance and the availability of spares. Maintainability and robustness are of the utmost importance as these dredgers often work in remote places. The added jet water is also used as an extra feature on the cutter head configuration. Here two nozzels are situated on the outside of the cutter so it has extra power to loosen any compacted soils.
This is included as a standard in the plain suction head. Additionally, an extra jet option is included that can be utilized in a “jet lance” which has an added capability to loosen the soil before the plain suction head excavates and transports the mixture to the discharge area. The added jet water is also used as an extra feature on the cutter head configuration. Here two nozzels are situated on the outside of the cutter so it has extra power to loosen any compacted soils.
The hydraulic system is powered by two gear pumps attached to the front end of the engine. The pumps power all the moving parts on the dredger. The hydraulics are controlled directly with no electrics in between to simplify the system and make the system more durable and easier to maintain.
The Quick Dredge is multifunctional and can be fitted as plain suction dredger but also as a cutter dredger. The power on the cutter is 15 kW. The teeth are replaceable and locked in place by a pin. The cutter is designed and made for maximum performance.
The drive-train consists of the engine, gearbox and coupling. These parts are selected for durability and reliability as well as performance. The configuration is basic to ensure continuity and easy maintenance.
The controls are simple and effective for a one-man operation. The pump is clutched mechanically, and the levers are directly mounted on the hydraulics so to make the whole system “bulletproof”, easy to use and maintainable by a basic mechanic.
The Quick dredge is designed to be flexible and easy to mobilize. The complete dredge can be transported in containerized dimensions. This makes small dredge projects and quick deployments easy.
These are the standard features that make the Quick Dredge a compact and effective dredging tool that is fit for a wide range of dredging applications
For projects in Europe, the dredger can be fitted with a Stage V compliant engine to comply with EU regulations.
A spud carrier is optional for use of the cutter configuration in case increasing operational efficiency is a must.
A cabin with air conditioning can be included to protect the operator from any outside elements such as reach cold and wind.
The way to maximum sustainability is the electric powered dredger. The quick Dredge E is an option for projects where this is a must.
