Alluvial Gravel Bucket Wheel Dredger

The Alluvial Gravel Bucket Wheel Dredger is intended for dredging applications involving gravel-bearing soil, dense sandy soil and coarse riverbed deposits. Its mechanical bucket wheel, equipped with multiple digging teeth, provides the cutting action required for materials that can be difficult to handle with conventional suction dredging methods.

Yunfeng's published Heavy Duty Bucket Wheel Dredger information identifies dense clay, silt, sandy soil and gravelly soil within soil classes II–V as applicable materials. This makes the heavy-duty bucket wheel configuration relevant to alluvial gravel excavation and riverbed material recovery projects.

Bucket Wheel Excavation and Working Advantages

Mechanical Excavation for Gravel-Bearing Soil

The rotating bucket wheel uses multiple digging teeth to excavate underwater deposits. This working mechanism is designed for dense and gravel-containing materials, including sandy soil and gravelly soil within the stated soil-class range.

Controlled Excavation Profile

The published heavy-duty configuration describes a relatively neat excavation section, smooth trench slopes and reduced overbreak. These characteristics are relevant to channel dredging and foundation trench projects where excavation profile control matters.

Suitable for Large-Volume Dredging Projects

The published configuration has a maximum working capacity of 1,100 m³/h. Actual production depends on material composition, working depth, site conditions and the selected operating configuration.

Technical Specifications

The following figures are published by Yunfeng for its Heavy Duty Bucket Wheel Dredger. They provide a reference configuration for evaluating an alluvial gravel bucket wheel dredging application. The final specification should be confirmed against the project requirements and supplied equipment configuration.

The published hydraulic auxiliary engine and bucket wheel power figures include alternative values. The applicable configuration, power arrangement and equipment scope should be confirmed during technical review.

Alluvial Gravel Dredging Applications

The bucket wheel excavation mechanism makes this equipment relevant to projects involving:

• Alluvial Gravel Mining: Excavating river deposits containing sand, gravel and coarse particles.
• Riverbed Dredging: Removing dense and gravel-bearing deposits from inland waterways.
• Channel and Foundation Trench Excavation: Working on projects that require a defined excavation profile.
• Large-Volume Material Recovery: Handling substantial quantities of underwater sand and gravel deposits.

Material suitability should be assessed using the actual soil classification, particle size, gravel content and site conditions. The published soil-class range should not be treated as a universal particle-size limit.

Configuration and Project Evaluation

Selecting a suitable bucket wheel dredger requires more than matching the required production capacity. The material conditions and the complete dredging and discharge arrangement must also be considered.

Before confirming a configuration, the following project information should be reviewed:

Yunfeng can evaluate project requirements and discuss the appropriate equipment configuration. The final bucket wheel arrangement, power system, hull configuration and material discharge system should be confirmed in the technical proposal.

Manufacturing and Project Support

Yunfeng Dredger Company is a China-based dredger manufacturer located in Qingzhou, Weifang, Shandong, China. The company provides dredger research, design, manufacturing and sales services.

The company's published project process covers requirement analysis, equipment design, manufacturing and testing, as well as delivery support. Installation guidance, operator training and technical support can also be discussed according to the project and agreed supply scope.
