Cutter Suction Dredger 650

As far as hydraulic applications are concerned, the cutter dredger is an interesting vessel. The dredger moves forwards on spud poles and sideways by means of side winches. Spud poles are moved vertically and horizontally by either hydraulic cylinders or winches. Also for the ladder winch, foreside winch, anchor boom winch and guy winches, hydraulic motors are used. In many cases the cutter is driven by low speed hydraulic motors that are suitable for underwater operation.

For the cutter-suction dredgers we supply a reservoir with appendages, engine driven pump group and valve stations for winches, spud poles. In some cases other options are included amongst others anchor winches and a spud carrier device. For the yard in Nijkerk we also install the piping between reservoir, pumps and stations. As in some cases the dredger is assembled in other locations around the globe, we supply prefab piping. Piping is installed by the yard and commissioning is done by the Hydac service technician.
Sometimes the systems are customized to the specific needs of the project.
