Why European Clients Are Increasingly Choosing Robotic Dredging Solutions?
Across Europe, many countries face similar dredging challenges:
✔ Lakes and ponds accumulating sediment over decades
Sediment reduces water depth, blocks drainage, and harms aquatic ecosystems.
✔ Strict environmental regulations
European governments heavily restrict traditional sludge removal methods that disturb ecosystems or release stored pollutants.
✔ High labor cost and safety requirements
Manual dredging is expensive, slow, and unsafe for deep or contaminated water.
✔ Need for non-disruptive underwater cleaning
Cities, parks, and private lake owners prefer methods that avoid draining water or stopping public access.
These shared challenges make the dredging robot, underwater dredging robot, and river silt cleaning machine ideal solutions for modern European water management.
YG’s Customized Robotic Dredge Solution for Europe
To help European customers improve lake and pond maintenance, YG designed a series of customized configurations based on water depth, sludge density, and environmental requirements.
① Eco-friendly underwater dredging system
YG’s robotic dredge operates underwater without disturbing fish or aquatic plants.
- Low-turbulence suction
- Real-time video monitoring
- Minimal environmental impact
This aligns with EU water protection standards.
② High-efficiency pump for thick sludge
The robot is equipped with an industrial-grade pump that can handle:
- Soft silt
- Sand-mixed sediment
- Organic sludge
- Fine mud layers
It can remove up to 30–50 cm of sludge per hour depending on density.
③ Crawler or propeller mobility options
To adapt to different terrains:
- Crawler tracks for muddy bottom surfaces
- Thruster propellers for deeper lakes
Both ensure stable underwater motion.
④ Remote-control and safety system
Operators stay onshore while monitoring operation via:
- HD underwater cameras
- Depth sensors
- GPS positioning
This reduces risk and increases efficiency.
⑤ European voltage and CE certification
The dredging robot can be customized for:
- 380V / 400V European voltage
- CE-qualified electrical components
- Anti-corrosion materials for long-term water use
Real Outcomes From European Projects
After deploying YG’s robotic dredge, European clients reported:
- 40–60% faster dredging speed compared with traditional machines
- No need to drain lakes or close parks
- Stable underwater suction even in cold climates
- Clear improvement in water flow and depth
- Significantly reduced silt accumulation near pipelines and inlets
- Lower long-term maintenance cost
Municipalities especially valued the quiet, eco-friendly operation, which allows work in public areas without disruption.
Why More European Clients Visit YG’s Factory?
Since 2025, an increasing number of European customers have traveled to China to inspect YG’s dredging equipment. Their reasons include:

European Customers’ Most Common FAQ
Q1: Can the robotic dredge work in cold European lakes?
Yes. The machine uses anti-freeze seals and corrosion-resistant materials suitable for low-temperature water environments.
Q2: What is the maximum dredging depth?
Standard models operate at 6–12 meters. Custom models can reach 20 meters depending on pump size and crawler mobility.
Q3: Will the dredging robot harm fish or underwater plants?
No. The device uses controlled suction and underwater precision operation, making it safer for ecosystems compared to traditional dredging.
Q4: Can the river silt cleaning machine handle sand or gravel?
Yes. YG offers reinforced pumps capable of handling silt, fine sand, and mixed sediment layers.
Q5: How fast can customers receive spare parts in Europe?
YG provides global shipping with fast spare-parts support. Common components can be delivered within 7–15 days.
