Hopper dredge equipment
Hopper dredger equipment renewal
Dredging is about transporting a mixture of silt, sand and gravel. Together these abrasive materials have a huge impact on the dredging systems on board. All dredging components in contact with this dredged mixture are subject to constant wear and tear. As a result, they need replacement.
Practical exchange of dredging components
► A hopper dredger, as any dredger, needs continuous maintenance. Dredging activities result in a gradual yet constant degradation of all dredging gear in contact with the abrasive dredged mixture. As a result, dredging components are replaced often. BANGLAMARK has a complete range of dredging components available for component replacement.
Replacing dredging components
► To ensure the reliability of a hopper dredgers operation, maintenance activities are vital. These will result in the exchange of hopper dredger loading gear such as dredge valves, overflows, jet water monitors, jet nozzles and much more.
Telescopic overflows
Telescopic overflows are installed to ensure transport water is removed from the hopper hold efficiently. After years of service, they may need replacement. Damen offers a full range overflows following your dredge pump capacity and hopper length. Please share your requirements including stroke and diameter.
Jet water monitors
► A hopper discharge operation can be enhanced by ensuring that the full load is discharged in the shortest possible time frame. The discharge process can be speeded up by directing a controlled water jet to areas where cargo remains. This job is easily done by a jet water monitor allowing both vertical and horizontal movement, simply controlled from the wheelhouse.
Bow coupling & rainbow nozzle
► Discharging over the bow of a hopper dredger is a practical way to deposit a sand cargo where it should be delivered. A bow coupling unit with floating pipe line, a rainbow nozzle and a batch of dredge valve form a practical dredging package which will enable you to upgrade your hopper dredger, making it fit for land reclamation projects.
