The choice for a bigger pump was made in order to reach the same amount of production at a lower pump rpm. It reduces wear and at the same time it increases production with less energy consumption.
Development of the new Cemex dredger was a joint collaboration. Joachim Wunder, Regional Manager Aggregates Hamburg, visited Rohr-Idreco’s new office and workshop in Doetinchem, the Netherlands and various other operating Rohr-Idreco dredgers in the area. Together with CEO Wim Snippe and sales manager Joachim Seiter from Rohr-Idreco, they discussed new ideas and improvements for the dredger and the overall dredging process.
The years of experience at Cemex and the technical knowledge at Rohr-Idreco have resulted in improvements in the plant software leading to a better control of the energy costs. Together with the flexibility of the pipeline, and the mounted DGPS control system, Cemex can now dredge more tonnes against a lower price.
