Hydraulic dredger YG series

remote-controlledelectric

Overview The YG Machinery tracked Industrial Dredging Robot is a remote-controlled solution for removing sludge and sediment from tanks, sewers, ponds and other confined or open-water environments. Remote operation eliminates confined-space entry, enabling safer, continuous sediment management and 24/7 operation.

Why traditional dredging methods are failing Manual dredging and confined-space interventions are slow, disruptive and expose personnel to hazards such as toxic gases and unstable substrates. Robotic dredging reduces exposure, decreases downtime and maintains continuous extraction performance without direct human entry.

Core advantages

• High-traction tracked chassis for stable mobility on muddy or uneven sediment.
• Electric and explosion-proof motor options for safe operation in flammable or hazardous sites.
• Powerful suction and pumping capability (electric models up to ~300 m³/h, manufacturer reference).
• Operational reach to depths up to 90 m (manufacturer reference).
• Remote monitoring and control to eliminate confined-space entry risks.

Key features and tools

• Hybrid navigation with LiDAR and ultrasonic sensor fusion; positioning accuracy better than 2 cm for mapping and obstacle avoidance.
• High-pressure water jet system for scouring compacted deposits combined with integrated suction for continuous removal.
• Explosion-proof configurations available for petrochemical and other hazardous sites.
• Electric-drive options that reduce energy consumption compared with diesel systems (manufacturer cites ~35% savings).

Applications and use cases

• Municipal wastewater treatment plants — sediment and sludge removal from settlement tanks and pipelines.
• Industrial ponds and reservoirs — desilting to improve water quality and storage capacity.
• Sewer and sludge cleaning projects requiring remote operation and high mobility over soft or uneven bottoms.
• Hazardous environments where explosion-proof equipment and non-contact operation are required.

Performance & operational notes The robot supports continuous operation with precise pressure and suction control to ensure thorough sediment extraction. Tracked mobility enables navigation in narrow channels, settlement tanks and open water while handling obstacles and soft bottoms. Sensor-fusion navigation enables mapping, pipeline tracing and infrastructure protection.
