What is dredger cutter?

The cutter suction dredger is equipped with a rotating dredger cutter head that is used to break up and dislodge sediment and debris on the bottom of the waterway. The dredged material is then suctioned up by a powerful pump and transported through a pipeline to a designated disposal site.

The dredger cutter head typically consists of a series of rotating blades or teeth that are designed to cut through various types of sediment, including sand, clay, and rock. The size and power of the cutter suction dredger can vary depending on the type of material being dredged and the specific requirements of the dredging project.

Cutter suction dredgers are commonly used for a variety of dredging applications, including the deepening and maintenance of navigation channels, the creation of new ports and harbors, and the extraction of sand and gravel for construction purposes.
