An EDOP150 as efficient sand mining tool

Some 400 m discharge distance a challenge? Not for the DOP pump! This EDOP150 – an electrically driven submersible dredge pump – easily bridges this distance between the sand mining pit and the spoil field. Even with an additional 10 m geodetic height.

Damen delivered the EDOP150 including a frequency drive. The kit was mounted on board of an existing stationary dredger and commissioned by a Damen Field Service Engineer.

Fitted oud with a special mining head, the EDOP150 loosens compacted soils to boost the operation. The mining head has jet nozzles delivering 8 bar.
