Jet suction boats have been more and more popular in African countries these years. This dredger boat is high efficient method to dig sand from river, lake or sea, and also an essential equipment in maintaining waterways and ensuring navigability.
In Cameroon, the utilization of advanced technology has revolutionized the dredging industry, particularly with the introduction of jet suction boats. This article will introduce the features and applications of OCEAN PUMP jet suction boat, and the selecting progress of a Cameroon customer for his river sand pumping.
1. What is a Jet Suction Boat?
1.1 General Description of the Jet Suction Boat:
A jet suction boat, also known as a jet suction dredger, utilizes a high-pressure water pump to break up sand layers, followed by a sand pump to extract the sand-water mixture. The primary power source for the sand pump is a diesel engine, while a generator set supplies power to the high-pressure water pump, winch, and lighting.
The design and manufacturing of OCEAN PUMP jet suction boat consider factors such as suction depth, workload, and sand discharge distance. To facilitate transportation, the hull is divided into sections and reassembled on-site.
