A high-performance hydraulic pump with solids handling capability is essential for modern dredging operations that involve dense slurry, heavy sediments, and abrasive materials. The DRH400 self-propelled dredge with steel cables is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in such demanding environments. Built for durability and continuous operation, the DRAGFLOW DRH400 dredger combines powerful hydraulic technology with advanced solids-handling design.
DRH400 – Advanced Hydraulic Pump System with Solids Handling Capability
Ace Centro Enterprises (ACE) provides advanced dredging solutions featuring a robust hydraulic pump with solids handling capability for marine, mining, and industrial applications. The DRAGFLOW DRH 400 dredge with steel cables is equipped with the powerful DRAGFLOW HY400 hydraulic dredging pump, designed specifically to handle high-density slurry and abrasive materials with ease.
The system is engineered with an advanced agitator and hydraulic pump combination that allows it to break, mix, and transport heavy sediment efficiently. This ensures smooth operation even in challenging underwater and offshore dredging conditions.
The modular pontoon design and self-propelled configuration make the DRH400 suitable for deep and complex dredging projects, including low pH environments and high-solids concentration zones.
ACE also supplies a full range of electric and hydraulic submersible dredge pumps used in harbor dredging, mining tailings, sand reclamation, oil spill response, sewage treatment, and large-scale offshore construction projects across the Middle East and Africa.
