Jet Suction Sand Dredger


General Description 
The dredger consists of a main pontoon and two side pontoons. The construction makes disassemble quickly and easier to transport by road, rail or sea, also more convenient to replace at site. Engine and dredging pump are on the main pontoon. Side pontoons could be used as oil storage tank, ballast tank and dry cabin.
The spacious control cabin is ergonomically designed with 360 degree view. All the operation buttons, switches, indicators, gauges are equipped on the control desk. Only two operators can control the dredger in the operation room.
Four layers anticorrosive marine paint provide the zinc anode protection to improve effect of corrosion.

Q1: What is the processing capacity of your gold dredger?

Our jet suction gold dredgers range from 250m³/h to 500m³/h depending on the model. The standard model (Product 1) delivers 300m³/h with a 10-inch pump, while the large-capacity model (Product 2) reaches 500m³/h with a 14-inch pump. Actual throughput depends on slurry density and dredging depth at your site.

Q2: What is the maximum dredging depth?

Our standard models operate at 6-15m depth. The deep-water model (Product 5) is engineered for up to 30m depth with a high-pressure jet pump and Venturi booster system that maintains full slurry density at depth.

Q3: What material is the hull made of?

All our dredger hulls and pontoons are fabricated from Q355B high-strength marine steel, offering superior corrosion resistance in abrasive river environments. Expected service life exceeds 15 years with routine maintenance.

Q4: What is the gold recovery rate?

For models equipped with the integrated gold washing system (Product 2), the recovery rate reaches ≥92% using multi-stage sluice boxes with gold-catching carpet. For standard jet suction models without onboard processing, the recovery rate depends on your downstream processing equipment.

Q5: What engine brand do you use?

We offer multiple engine options: Weichai, Cummins, or Yuchai diesel engines. Power output is matched to the pump size — typically 150kW to 450kW depending on the model. Specify your preferred brand when ordering.

Four suction-type excavator ships customized for Russia have now been put into use.

FAQ:

Q1:What is the working principle of jet suction dredger?

AIt relies on high-pressure water pump to spray strong water jet to loosen underwater sand & silt, meanwhile the sand pump forms negative pressure to suck sand-water mixture, then transport materials to shore or barge via discharge pipeline for continuous dredging work.

Q2:What materials can this dredger handle? What sediment is NOT suitable?

A✅ Suitable: loose river sand, silt, mud, fine gravel, soft sediment, lake sludge. ❌ Not fit: hard rock, dense clay, large stones & boulders (easy to block pipeline & nozzle). For hard soil, cutter suction dredger is recommended.

Q3:Main application scenarios?

ARiver channel dredging, reservoir & pond desilting, port & dock sediment cleaning, coastal land reclamation, beach sand replenishment, river sand mining, environmental silt remediation, waterway maintenance.

Q4:What’s the standard output per hour?

ACustomized from 50m³/h ~ 500m³/h according to client demand; common models: 80/150/200/250/300/400 cubic meters per hour.

Q5:Max suction dredging depth?

AStandard range 5m~25m; customized max depth up to 30m. Minimum working water depth only 0.5-0.8m, fit shallow water operation.

Q6:Maximum horizontal discharge distance?

ABasic model 300-800m; add booster pump can extend to 1500-3000 meters. Vertical lifting height can be matched with pipeline layout.

Q7:Pipe diameter options?

A6/8/10/12/14/16 inch pipeline optional (150/200/250/300/350/400mm inner diameter).

Q8:What types of jet suction dredgers do you supply?

1. Ordinary double pontoon jet dredgerSelf-unloading typeMini portable small dredger

2. Jet + cutter composite dredger

Q9:Is the boat self-propelled? Can it move on water?

AStandard version with anchor winch for positioning & left-right swing dredging; optional install propeller propulsion system to realize free self-navigation on water.

Q10:Difference between jet suction dredger and cutter suction dredger?

Comparison Item

Jet Suction Dredger

Cutter Suction Dredger

Soil Breaking Method

Q11:Why choose jet suction instead of chain bucket dredger?

Chain bucket is good for large gravel, but low continuous efficiency; jet suction works non-stop pumping without material interruption, less labor cost, smaller site occupation.

Q12:Can all specifications be customized?

A100% customizable: dredging depth, output, discharge distance, engine brand (Cummins/Weichai/Deutz), hull size, paint color, control cabin, booster pump, cyclone sand separator, logo printing.

ACE Certificate, ISO9001 Quality System, Factory Production Qualification, Packing List, Commercial Invoice, Bill of Loading, CIQ inspection document for customs clearance.

Q15Trade term support?

FOB Qingdao/Shanghai/Tianjin, CFR, CIF, DDP door to door delivery.

Q16How to transport the dredger to my country?

ALarge model load into 20GP/40HQ container; super large hull split into several parts for container shipping; small mini type can be fully packed in one container. We finish loading & fix goods to prevent damage during sea transit.

Q17Do you send engineers for overseas installation & training?

ATwo options:

1. Send professional technicians to your site for installation, commissioning, 1-3 days operation training (buyer bear round-trip airfare & accommodation).

2. Supply detailed English assembly manual, operation video, 3D drawing, online remote guidance free of charge。  

Q18How many workers needed to operate one dredger? 单船需要几名操作人员? ANormally only 1 operator in control cabin to finish all dredging work; 1 auxiliary worker optional for pipeline arrangement.

Q19Warranty policy?

 AMain engine & main pump core parts 12 months warranty from shipment date; whole machine lifetime technical support.

Q20What are wearing parts? Can you supply spare parts?

AWear parts: impeller, pump casing, nozzle, rubber hose, seal ring, winch steel wire. We have spare parts warehouse, can send spare parts together with main machine or separately via express at any time.

Q21Maintenance cycle & difficulty?

Structure has no complex transmission & cutter structure, daily only check oil level, pipeline tightness, pump blockage cleaning; maintenance workload far lower than cutter dredger.

Q22Can it extract gold sand while dredging?  AYes, we can add centrifugal gold centrifugal concentrator or sluice box on discharge pipeline to realize sand-gold separation.

Q23Can work in seawater?

AYes, hull can do anti-corrosion marine paint treatment, pump use anti-seawater corrosion alloy material for sea dredging.

Q24How long is production lead time?

Standard models 7-30 working days; customized special configuration 30-90 working days.
