https://www.dredgeyard.com[Dredge Yard] has launched a dredge turning gland, a TSHD component that is attached to the lower suction pipe allowing a radial rotation in both directions. It enables the dredge drag head to follow the sea bottom without losing vacuum.
The dredge turning gland was developed by Dredge Yard team of engineers. Dredge turning glands products can be designed to specific requirements and applications using 3D CAD technologies and Finite Element Analysis.
Cast Iron and Carbon Steel
The materials used for the production of the dredge turning glands are cast iron for sliding pieces and carbon steel for pipes and flanges. It has a compact seal design making the assembly less heavy, an adjustable turning range by using dismountable stoppers, and a heavy duty wall and flange thickness.
