Hopper Dredger

Using a dredger on a regular basis can be difficult if you don't have every part you need. Dredging requires a number of mechanical parts to work in perfect concert--forgo any one of these and you could find yourself awash in slurry or out of a job. It is for this reason that hopper maintenance and upkeep remains an essential part of this industry.

What is a hopper dredger? The short answer is any kind of dredging boat that loads sediment and other deposits into a collection area known as a hopper. Whether this hopper is part of the workboat or comprised of freestanding tanks is largely a matter of preference and function, as offloading slurry can be a major part of daily operation.

Keep Your Hopper Dredger Working

Here at Dredge Source, we have been providing parts for hopper dredgers for quite some time. From very basic holding tanks to more sophisticated versions that come with centrifugal action and precision filters, we cover every part of the hopper dredger marketplace. Do some sleuthing and you may even be able to turn up replacement parts for your own favorite apparatus.

Most hopper dredgers will eventually give way over time, especially if you make a habit of doing labor-intensive work with stubborn sediments. If you want to keep everything running smoothly and the collecting to operate as it should for years at a time, it is essential to outfit your dredger with a superior breed of equipment.
