ECO 200 dredgers available in stock

Dredge Yard, in continuation of its program for building medium size and small dredgers in stock, is building more ECO 200 dredgers in 2018. The new ECO 200 dredgers are optimized with improvements to increase dredge performance and operations, meeting the demand of the market. The dredger can be equipped with a cutter head, auger head or plain suction head. These diverse options make the ECO 200 a very versatile dredger for many different dredge applications.

Underwater dredge pump

Material is pumped by an underwater dredge pump, which is driven by a hydraulic motor and mounted on a rigid bearing assembly and shaft. This will allow the pump to have a higher pumping flow and a mixture of a higher density, resulting in more production than a dredge pump mounted in the pontoons.

The control cabin is equipped with all necessaries like air-conditioning system or heater, noise reduction all around, ventilation on top, screen wipers and an adjustable ergonomic chair.

Propulsion

All ECO 200 dredgers are self-propelled with two hydraulic thrusters of a European brand. This will help move the dredger around without any involvement of a tug boat. To support the dredger in mobilization, tiltable spuds are provided that can be manually tilted and secured to the deck.

Moreover, the new ECO 200 dredger accommodates more fuel tank capacity to reduce refueling intervals for continuous operations.

We have now one ECO 200 Auger Dredger and one ECO 200 Cutter Suction Dredger available to deliver immediately. Contact us to view the dredgers.

Dredge Yard delivers multipurpose cutter suction dredger

Dredge Yard delivered a multipurpose cutter suction dredger ECO 200 to a real estate developer in the United Arab Emirates for the reshaping and maintenance of existing islands. The ECO 200 dredger will be used for connecting some of the islands and deepening the sea entrance between the islands. Due to current and erosion, the coast of the islands changes with the years. For this reason, it is necessary to perform periodical maintenance to keep the shape of the islands and maintain a pleasant beach. In some areas the beach is flooded by new soft types of sand that makes it difficult for visitors to enjoy the beautiful clear waters of the Emirates. In other places it is necessary to maintain the water depth for yachts and workboats to visit the area. Dredging is the only way to maintain artificial and natural shaped islands and beaches.

The ECO 200 Cutter Suction Dredger

The ECO 200 dredger is equipment with a heavy-duty cutter head and underwater dredge pump for high performance and for pumping a high-density mixture of sand. The high dredging performance will speed up the dredging process to limit the time involved in maintenance. For easy mobilization the dredger is provided with two hydraulic propulsions. The ECO 200 Cutter Suction Dredger can pump the sand up to 1500m and dredge up to 6 meters depth. One of the advantages of the ECO dredger is the use for dredging in small and shallow areas that are difficult for bigger dredgers to enter. The draft of the ECO dredger is only 0.7m. This multipurpose cutter suction dredger is delivered completely assembled and launched into the water by mobile crane.

Euro Dredger 450 now available

The Euro Dredger 450, built in the Netherlands, has been successfully launched and is now available for delivery. The Euro Dredger 450, also known as Dredge Yard’s CSD450, is a cutter suction dredger with a discharge pipe diameter of 450mm.

The Euro Dredger 450 is the first cutter suction dredger resulting from the partnership between Dredge Yard and Neptune Shipyards in The Netherlands. Both companies joined forces to enable the building of this multi-purpose cutter suction dredger that is suitable for dredging, soft and medium compacted sand and other sediments up to a dredging depth of 10 m on inland waters, rivers and lakes.

Specifications of the Euro Dredger 450

The Euro Dredger 450 has a total installed power of 866 kW. It consists of 3 dismountable pontoons fixed by a rigid coupling system inside the pontoon. It is designed to be disassembled easily and to be transportable by road.

The high performance dredge pump – entirely developed and manufactured by Dredge Yard – is mounted directly onto the gearbox to save space and reduce the weight, and it is driven directly by a 634 kW diesel engine. A hydraulic power pack of 232 kW is fitted on the main pontoon to supply hydraulic power to the cutter head, winches and spud hoist cylinders.

The hydraulically driven cutter head – developed by Dredge Yard – has exchangeable cutter teeth that come in three types: pick points, narrow and wide chisels. The blades of the cutter head are double curved to allow for a smooth mixture flow through the cutter and into the suction mouth.

Dredge Yard delivers the Auger dredger

Dredge Yard has engineered and manufactured a compact and economic sediment dredger, also known as their ECO 200 Auger Dredger, which will be used for a desalination plant in the Gulf region.

This piece of equipment can be used particularly in rivers, streams, harbors, ponds, bays or artificial lakes to remove the accumulated sediments in a highly efficient and environment-friendly manner.

The sediment dredger has been designed for 9m dredging depth, with high production underwater dredge pump, 2 floating pontoons stiffened from inside, a ladder made of thick pipe and also stiffened at both ends.

Replaceable components

All the components are driven by a single heavy duty hydraulic pack which is placed outside behind the cabin.

This dredger functions as a cutter suction dredger but the cutting tool is a rotating Archimedean screw set at right angles to the suction pipe.

Dredge Yard can also offer its support in replacing the whole auger head with a new one or to replace the auger head with a cutter head.

Compact design

With its compact design, the sediment dredger can be easily transported or mobilized in separate dismounted parts inside of a container or as a complete unit on the truck by road.

Auger dredger presented at Europort 2015

Dredge Yard will also exhibit at Europort 2015 in Rotterdam presenting its range of dredging and mining equipment and components, the ongoing developments of the products, updates about the projects that Dredge Yard is working at present.

The company will also showcase scaled models of the cutter suction dredgers and also offer the realistic experience for the visitors to close examine product samples of our dredge cutter head and dredge ball joint.

New ECO200 dredger from Dredge Yard

ECO200 dredger

Dredge Yard, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of dredging and mining equipment, took part at the “Dredging in India” conference, held in Mumbai from 3-4 September 2014, and presented its new model, the ECO200 dredger. This dredger can be delivered with auger head or cutter head.

At the event, the company’s Operations Manager, Michel Debo introduced a compact and economic cutter suction dredger, the ECO 200. The vessel was designed by Dredge Yard’s engineers by using the latest CAD technologies, FEA analysis, CFD analysis. The main aim of the company was to make an economic dredger that is low cost at initial acquiring and in daily use as well as robust and efficient in design.

Benefits

This dredger will offer many benefits to operators like an underwater dredge pump placed on the front part of the ladder which will allow the dredger to handle higher dredge mixture and high volume of mixture flow. The complete ECO 200 Cutter Dredger is transportable by standard closed top 40 feet containers, the complete spud assembly together with its hydraulic cylinders is able to be tilted on its pontoon.

This allows the dredger to be towed easier under very low bridges and other obstacles. For the drive of all components being the dredge pump, cutter head, winches and spud cylinders, one hydraulic power pack is provided on the central platform.

Feature

Lastly, this specific ECO200 will feature the cutter head with replaceable teeth what is unusual for this size of dredgers in the market. Dredge Yard will offer strong support, onsite assisting end users with their projects, training if required, maintenance and transport. All spare parts will be available on stock ready for shipment at any time to prevent downtime of the dredger and delays in the project.

“The aim of the design was to make an economic dredger that is low cost at initial acquiring and in daily use,” concluded Manish Jangir, Design Engineer.
