Dredging robot is a kind of intelligent underwater dredging equipment integrated with remote control, underwater propulsion, suction pump and other systems. It can be unmanned underwater, automatic navigation to complete the bottom sludge cleaning tasks, is a typical unmanned dredging solution (unmanned dredging solution). It solves the problems of poor construction environment, high labor cost and high safety risk in traditional dredging construction.
Different from the traditional excavator and manual dredging, the dredging robot is more flexible, safe and can work continuously in closed and highly polluted waters, especially suitable for urban lakes, industrial sewage ponds and other complex environments.

Advantages of Sludge Cleaning Robot
- Unmanned operation, safe and efficient: No need for divers to enter the operation area, reducing the risk of personal safety; remote control to complete the operation, greatly improving efficiency.
- High adaptability and flexibility: Portable robotic dredge is compact, easy to transport and deploy, and can be applied to different sizes of water cleaning tasks.
- Precise dredging, small disturbance: Adopts a fixed-point suction system to avoid disturbing the ecology of the bottom, which is suitable for areas with high environmental protection requirements.
- Cost control advantage is obvious: Saving labor cost, reducing the cost of water drainage treatment, long-term operation economy is outstanding.
- Support customization and multiple function expansion: Optional video monitoring, display screen, explosion-proof motor, sludge concentration detection and other functions to adapt to more complex operational needs.


Applicable Scenarios of Unmanned Dredging Solution
- Urban Lakes and Landscape Water Bodies
The water body does not need to be drained, non-disturbance, low-noise dredging, and protection of water ecology. - Sewage treatment plants and sedimentation tanks
Suitable for efficient cleaning of high concentration sludge, it is a professional sludge cleaning robot (sludge cleaning robot). - Port terminals and shipyards
Suitable for regular sludge cleaning in the dock and berth area to protect the smoothness of the waterway. - Industrial Waste Ponds and Chemical Ponds
Removes bottom sediments in highly polluted and corrosive environments, reducing downtime. With explosion-proof motor, the operation is safer. - Agricultural irrigation canals and reservoirs
are used for dredging and maintenance of water sources to improve water quality and water storage capacity.
