Suction Dredger with jet unit

Fiebig suction dredgers with jet unit consist of a main ship with side pontoons and a foreship. All aggregates and pumps are housed in the engine room of the main ship. The spacious control station is located above the engine room. The foreship consists of two parallel pontoons, a winch frame and the hoist. A jet unit with blast nozzles mounted around the sucker breaks the ground. The loosened material is sucked in by the feed pump and then pumped through the pressure line ashore or into a swimming dewatering wheel. Due to the mining automatism and an optional control desk ashore unattended operation is possible. Energy is either provided by a transformer on shore and medium voltage on board or by a diesel generator set on board.
