When traditional dredging methods hit a wall—whether due to high-density sediments, tightly packed clay, or hard-to-reach job sites—the TUSSU® excavator-mounted slurry pump with cutters steps in. Designed for seamless integration with major excavator brands (including CAT, Komatsu, Volvo, and Sany), this heavy-duty hydraulic attachment converts your standard excavator into an autonomous, high-production dredging powerhouse.
Why Contractors Are Switching to Excavator-Mounted Dredge Pumps
Conventional submersible sand pumps often struggle when encountering compacted materials or dense debris. They clog, lose suction, or require external jetting rings that complicate the setup.
The TUSSU® hydraulic submersible dredge pump eliminates these bottlenecks by combining aggressive mechanical agitation with superior hydraulic performance. Mounted directly onto the excavator’s stick, it utilizes the machine’s existing hydraulic circuit to deliver maximum torque right where you need it—at the bottom of the pit.
Key Technical Advantages of TUSSU® Slurry Pumps
-
Integrated Side Cutters & Agitators: Equipped with dual high-torque hydraulic cutters, the TUSSU® pump breaks up consolidated sediments, compacted clay, and packed sand before it enters the impeller, achieving a solid concentration of up to 60% by weight.
-
Heavy-Duty Wear Resistance: Engineered with high-chrome alloy (Cr27) impellers and wear plates, this heavy-duty abrasive slurry pump handles highly abrasive mining tailings and industrial sludge without premature wear.
-
Deep-Water & High-Density Capability: Unlike standard suction dredgers limited by depth, the TUSSU® excavator attachment can operate at the maximum reach of your excavator arm, handling high-viscosity bentonite slurry and fly ash ponds with ease.
Core Applications across Industries
1. Mining Tailings & Sludge Pond Reclamation
Managing tailings ponds requires equipment that can handle abrasive, high-solids media. The TUSSU® submersible mining slurry pump efficiently clears out settled solids, recovers valuable minerals, and desilts holding ponds without requiring expensive, dedicated dredging vessels.
2. Harbor, Marina, and Canal Maintenance
For coastal engineering and harbor desilting, precision is everything. The excavator-mounted design allows operators to maneuver around docks, under bridges, and along shoreline walls to remove silt and sand that traditional suction dredges cannot reach.
3. Industrial Sump Cleaning & Bentonite Pumping
From civil engineering piling projects utilizing heavy bentonite slurry to power plants managing fly ash ponds, this heavy-duty slurry pump keeps industrial operations running smoothly by preventing sediment buildup in critical sumps and lagoons.
