Inverted Pile Cylinder for Cutter-Suction Dredger

Cutter suction dredger is a combination of mechanical dredger and hydraulic dredger, and the hydraulic cylinder of inverted pile is one of the key components of cutter suction dredger, which is mainly used for the positioning, transverse movement and longitudinal forward movement of the hull in dredging operations. The lifting device of rigid pile and steel pile installed at the stern relies on the hydraulic cylinder of inverted pile to work. During the operation of cutter suction dredger, the cutter cage is driven by hydraulic motor to rotate, because of the reaction force on the cutter blade, the whole hull rotates around a positioning pile rod in the water. The cylinder of the positioning pile is designed as a single oil feed mode, its ascent process is precisely controlled by the hydraulic cylinder, and when it comes down, it uses its own gravity to naturally drop and easily nail into the sand. Through the precise adjustment of the speed control valve, the hull can achieve a certain Angle of swing, further enhancing the flexibility of the operation.

Cutter-Suction Dredger Inverted Pile Cylinder Introduction

The inverted pile cylinder is a hydraulic cylinder that provides push and pull force for the retracting and unfolding of the steel pile on a cutter-suction dredger. It plays a vital role in the dredging process, allowing the dredger to function effectively across various water depths and conditions.

Typically positioned on the cutter ladder, which is the extended structure that supports the cutterhead and other dredging equipment, the cylinder connects to the steel pile through a series of brackets and pins.

During operation, the inverted pile cylinder retracts and unfolds the steel pile. This action enables the dredger to traverse the dredging area effectively, adjusting the steel pile to the necessary depth and angle.

This powerful and reliable equipment is crucial for the optimal performance of a cutter-suction dredger, and its low-maintenance nature makes it a cost-effective choice for dredging contractors.
