Dredge suction mouth

The dredge suction mouth is a Cutter Suction Dredger component positioned behind the cutter head of a CSD during extraction of non-cohesive material from the sea bottom.

The dredge suction mouth is made of one cast piece. Its flange is cast together with the body of the dredge suction mouth By using only one cast piece eliminates many operations, such as machining, forging, welding and allows the most intricate shapes, both external and internal that can be obtained to follow the shape of the flow.

Materials of Dredge Suction Mouth

The dredge suction mouth is produced from Carbon Steel that allows easy welding and hard facing. The other material, Carbon manganese steel increases the depth of hardening and improving strength and toughness. The Alloy steel is used to obtain higher performance in wear resistance.
