Small sand dredging and desilting projects always face two big pain points: buying a dedicated dredge boat costs too much, and manual dredging is too slow and inefficient. An excavator dredge pump solves both problems perfectly by using your existing excavator as the power source. Also known as excavator-mounted dredge pumps, it is a hydraulic dredging attachment that mounts directly on your excavator arm. You don’t need to buy additional power equipment, and you can start dredging work simply by connecting it to your excavator’s hydraulic system. YG provides 9 different models of this equipment, with flow rates ranging from 150m³/h to 400m³/h, which can meet the needs of different scales of dredging projects.

Applications of Excavator Dredge Pump
- River & pond desilting: It is very suitable for small river channel dredging, pond desilting, and reservoir sediment cleaning work. It can pump out sediment and sludge efficiently, and the operation is very flexible.
- Sand mining & extraction: It can be used for sand pumping in sand fields, rivers and lakes. The built-in agitator can stir the sediment at the bottom, so it can pump high-concentration sand slurry efficiently.
- Port & wharf dredging: It is suitable for dredging work in small ports, wharves and inland waterways. It can clean up sediment and silt at the bottom of the waterway to ensure smooth navigation.
- Tailings pond cleaning: It can be used for sediment cleaning in tailings ponds of mines and concentrators. It can pump tailings slurry efficiently, which helps enterprises meet environmental protection requirements.
- Municipal pipeline desilting: It is also suitable for municipal sewer desilting, rainwater pipe network cleaning and other municipal engineering work. It can quickly pump out sludge and debris from pipelines.
Excavator Dredge Pump VS Traditional Dredge Boat: Which Is Better For Small Projects?
Many people struggle between choosing an excavator-mounted dredge pumps and a traditional dredge boat when they have small dredging projects. For small and medium-sized projects under 100,000 cubic meters, an excavator sand dredging pump is usually a more cost-effective choice. You can see the difference in the following three aspects:
1. Initial investment cost
A traditional small dredge boat usually costs tens of thousands of dollars, and you also need to hire a professional captain and crew to operate it. The cost is very high for small projects.
With an excavator dredge pump, you only need to buy the pump attachment and use your existing excavator as power. You don’t need to buy additional power equipment, and your existing excavator operator can operate it directly; there’s no need to hire extra professional staff. The initial investment is only 1/3 to 1/5 of a traditional dredge boat.
2. Operation flexibility
Traditional dredge boats have certain requirements for water depth and channel width, and cannot work in very shallow water or narrow water areas. They are also inconvenient to transport between different project sites.
An excavator sand dredging pump can work in very shallow water areas, even in ponds and ditches that are only 1-2 meters deep. You can also transport it to different project sites together with the excavator, which is very flexible and convenient. It is especially suitable for scattered small dredging projects.
3. Work efficiency
For large-scale dredging projects, traditional dredge boats have higher efficiency. But for small and medium-sized projects, the efficiency gap between the two is very small, and the excavator pump can even be more efficient in narrow and shallow water areas.
The pump has a flow rate of 150-400m³/h, which can fully meet the needs of most small and medium-sized dredging projects. With the agitator, it can pump high-concentration sand slurry, and the actual work efficiency is very high.
For most small and medium-sized dredging projects, choosing an excavator-mounted solution can save a lot of cost and improve project flexibility. If you have large-scale long-term dredging projects, you can choose a traditional dredge boat.
5 Features of Excavator Dredge Pump
Our excavator sand dredging pump has many practical advantages designed for dredging work:
- Complete model range, wide adaptability: We have 9 different models, which are suitable for 10-20T, 20-30T and 30-40T excavators. You can choose the most suitable model according to your excavator tonnage and project requirements.
- Equipped with high-power agitator: Each model is equipped with a matching agitator, with power ranging from 5.5KW to 15KW and torque ranging from 1556 to 2433. The agitator can stir the sediment at the bottom, so the pump can pump high-concentration sand slurry without clogging.
- Large flow and wide head range: The flow rate ranges from 150m³/h to 400m³/h, and the head ranges from 10m to 40m. It can meet the needs of different dredging depths and conveying distances.
- Wear-resistant material, long service life: The pump body and impeller are made of wear-resistant materials, which can handle sand and small gravel without rapid wear. The service life is much longer than ordinary water pumps.
- Easy to install and operate: You can install it directly on the excavator arm without modifying the excavator. The excavator operator can master the operation skills after simple training, without the need for professional dredging personnel.
