JULONG dredgers mainly comprise two models including cutter suction and bucket dredgers that have been optimally and creatively designed to suit a variety of conditions. The perceived difference helps in deciding the right tool that will be efficient and specific with addressing operations and infrastructure projects or environmental activities.
Working Mechanisms
Cutter suction dredgers dig hard materials into the place of disposal with the help of the turning cutter head that leads to destabilization of the materials which is then collected into a pipeline via suction. Contrarily, the chain/ladder of the buckets that are employed in bucket dredgers are used to dig out and raise the materials and the materials are loaded into a containment facility in the water craft. JULONG makes this mechanism as strong as possible, cutter system is made to cause as much fuss and bucket system is made with a steady and consistent flow in mind.
Suitable Materials
Cutter suction dredgers work best in processing such substrates as dredging of hard bottoms like rocks, gravel and compact sediment as the end of the cutting section of the cutter suction dredgers drags to the hard materials hence not taking time to reach the hard material. Bucket dredgers, on their part, are most effective in handling loose materials such as sand, silt and small aggregates, where the lighter material with less density is mixed with the surrounding water and plowed up together using the bucket dredge. JULONG will design the two to use a minimal amount of energy to process the materials and that will enhance efficiency of operations.
Application Scenarios
Cutter dredgers are common in port deepening and maintenance of channels and in situations where hard material removal is of essence such as breaking underwater structures. The positions of the bucket dredgers as dredgers is contained within the sand mining or clean ups on the rivers and dredging the loose soil in the shallow water e.g. reservoir clearance or replenishment in the coastal surfaces. Such scenarios are different, but JULONG dredgers can adapt to both, using cutter style heavy duty dredgers and bucket style low impact and sensitive dredgers.
Operational Efficiency
Cutter suction dredgers are high productivity dredgers in hard material and in such circumstances minimal or no downtime is needed as it continues to suction. There is no shift in bucket dredgers performance which make them more dependable and even all through handling loose matters, they do not clog the pipe line as well as they also reduce chances of blocking the solid land, but they are slow on the ground. JULONG ensures that both are more efficient because they employ durable parts, like tough cutter heads and buckets that resist wear and thus they can last longer when used over a prolonged period of time.
In conclusion, cutter suction and bucket dredgers manufactured by JULONG are of different functions but they complement each other. Cutter models can operate on tough soils that are densely compacted in tricky projects as opposed to a bucket type that has the potential of successfully digging in loose sand in jobs that are lighter. The choice of two of them is made by the nature of materials and the purpose of the project where the engineering offered by JULONG ensures optimum that can be achieved in any case.
