We have been developing cutter heads and dredging wheels for decades based on practical experience with numerous types of soils and dredging vessels from all around the world. Our cutter technology is driven by our fundamental knowledge of excavation, slurry creation and wear resistance. The combination of these factors is the unique basis for offering the best cutter heads and dredging wheels in the world:
Developed with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis
- Specific teeth available for each type of soil
- Custom cutting solutions available to fit specific customer needs
- Lifelong support
- Low cost-per-tonne productivity
- Easy maintenance
Since the dredging process starts with excavation and slurry creation, a cutter suction dredger’s performance is mainly defined by its cutter head.
The multi-purpose cutter head can be equipped with pick points, or narrow or flared chisels, depending on the soil encountered in the specific area.
The smallest dredgers in RELONG fleet are relatively low power, mostly used for the purpose of maintenance and suffer little wear and tear. RELONG offers a low-cost cutter head with cutting edges for these vessels. In case of wear, new weld-on serrated or plain edges can be purchased to extend their lifetime, but these will only be required occasionally.
In addition to the standard series of cutter heads, RELONG can also provide special-purpose cutter heads that fit your specific needs for every cutter-dredging challenge.
