If you are trying to figure out if a cutterhead dredge or a chain ladder dredge would be better for your project, we are here to help.  The benefit of a cutterhead dredge, (or sometimes called cutter suction dredge) is the efficiency. A Cutterhead dredge is often said to be the most efficient option for dredging. If you feel comfortable in your selection of a cutterhead dredge, you are at the right place. At CDW we build several types of cutterheads, and we use bolt on teeth, which makes changing a broken tooth a fraction of the time.

Cutterheads are used to soften and loosen material, and then the dredgers suction system transports it through the suction hose by use of a dredge pump. CDW manufactures several dredge cutterhead styles, and can assist you with dredge selection for your project.
If your experiencing problems with cutting, with one of our systems this will be a problem of the past. Our cutterheads can have a brand new set of teeth in about 10 minutes time. There will be no more welding and frustrations associated with cutterhead issues. Another common issue with production is worn out lines.

The best part about buying a dredge from CDW is vast amount of options we have available for your cutterhead dredge. Let us help you with your dredging decision today.
