Overflow Cylinder for Trailing Suction Dredger

The overflow cylinder for a trailing suction dredger is a hydraulic cylinder that provides the necessary pulling force to lift the overflow tube. The overflow tube is a significant pipe that discharges excess water and slurry overboard when the dredger's hopper is full.

Typically, the overflow cylinder is connected to the overflow tube via a chain or cable. When activated, it pulls the overflow tube upwards, facilitating the flow of excess water and slurry. The operation of the overflow cylinder can be either manual or automatic, depending on the dredging requirements.

Constructed from high-strength steel, overflow cylinders are designed to endure the challenging conditions encountered in dredging environments. They come with safety features to prevent any accidental detachment of the overflow tube.

Overflow Cylinder for Trailing Suction Dredger Features

• Heavy-duty construction to withstand the harsh conditions of the dredging environment
• Long stroke length to provide sufficient lifting force for the relief tube
• Corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long service life
• Hydraulically operated for easy control

Benefits of Using an Overflow Cylinder for a Trailing Suction Dredger

• Ensures that the hopper of the dredger does not overload
• Helps to maintain the stability of the dredger
• Improves the efficiency of the dredging process
• Reduces the environmental impact of dredging operations
