Suction Mouth

The suction mouth is a pivotal component in dredging systems, contributing significantly to the effectiveness and reliability of the dredging process.

Applications in Dredging Operations

VOSTA LMG delivers suction mouths that are used in different types of dredgers, including:

  • Cutter Suction Dredgers (CSD). In CSDs, the suction mouth is positioned directly behind the cutter head, where it captures loosened material that has been cut and agitated by the cutter.
  • Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers (TSHD). TSHDs use a suction mouth attached to the drag arm, which is lowered to the seabed to collect materials as the vessel moves forward.
