The next generation of double-walled pumps
The LightHouse is an outer casing for double-walled dredge pumps made from reinforced composites with an innovative new opening and closing concept.
Due to the functional split present in the current design of the pump, the outer housing does not have contact with the abrasive mixture. This allows for the use of other materials than the traditional steel, such as reinforced composites which excels in strength.
Features
• Made from reinforced composites
• Patented spiral shape closing mechanism
• Automated opening and closing of the dredge pump
• Available for all sizes double walled dredge pumps
Benefits
• Considerable mass reductions of over 60%
• Reduction of build in length by 25%
• Reduction of replacement time of the inner housing an impeller of 75%
• Gain in overall output, and with that, a reduction of exploitation cost
