The result is a considerably reduced operating cost per cubic meter while keeping total daily production at the same level of bigger size cutter suction dredges. Higher solid concentration means using energy to move solids instead of water, so you will be able to work with smaller diesel engines and reduced discharge pipe diameters. The presence of a double blade agitator together with pump suction directly in contact with the material make Dragflow pumps able to move slurries with solid content up to 70% by weight. Dragflow has been fully concen-trated on submersible dredge pumps technology since its beginnings, and is now able to provide the widest range of high efficient electric and hydraulic submersible dredge pumps in the market. The main challenge for manufacturers of dredging equipment is to develop efficient machines that can reduce the use of energy, and thus contain the operating cost of projects. You can find them in our products section.ĭredging is an energy intensive operation. We offer a wide selection of electric or hydraulic dredge pumps, hydraulic power packs, booster station and dredges.

You can find more about dredge pumps fundamentals in our section Slurry Pump Basics. Here below you can read about some of the multiple applications of our Dredge pumps. In some cases is es-sential to control the turbidity while dredging, this is something that our dredge pumps are able to do. There are many applications for our dredge pumps: Dredging of Rivers, Harbors, Dams, Canals, Lakes and Lagoons. Dredging operations are crucial activities for develop and maintain harbors networks, keep or improve navigability of water-ways, restore dams capacity, construction of damps and ports, recover valuable mineral deposits, contaminants remediation, installation of off-shore platforms, fast reaction in civil emergencies, among others… all of them are essential activities to sus-tain economic growth in most countries.Īll of our Submersible Slurry Pumps are suitable to be used for dredging. Dredging is a form of excavation carried out underwater, gathering up bottom sediments and transporting them elsewhere.
