Custom Gearbox Solution for Dredging Application

Gearbox for Dredging Equipment

A customer came to Rj Link needing a solution to an existing gearbox that would be more flexible, controllable, and robust to meet the vigorous requirements of their dredging application that was being used for river, pond, and coastal area projects. The lack of flexibility in the existing gearbox hampered the company’s ability to serve their customer, and limited the scope of work that they could get done. This made it a challenge for the company to grow in the new market segment, and fulfill the project specifications in a timely manner.

Rj Link’s solution to this marine type application was to offer a more flexible, auxiliary gearbox drive that would be more controllable to adhere to a dredge pump.  Other benefits with Rj Link’s two speed industrial grade gearbox solution:

• Greater control of speed & depth for the dredge pump
• Design improved operation performance
• Improved flexibility control of the pumping distance
• Helped control cost & will enable company to increase its market reach
