Bell production instrumentation

    The production instrumentation assists operators in achieving more efficient dredging.

    Group of engineers and workers in safety helmets and high-visibility vests gathered around a Bell dredging pump on a construction site, discussing the equipment with a laptop, while an excavator and dredged soil piles are visible in the background.

    The production instrumentation
    consist out of:

    • Frame & canopy
    • Flow meter (electromagnetic)
    • Density meter (NON-nuclear)
    • Pressure indicator
    • Vacuum indicator
    • Software
    • Monitoring screen

    We can modify the design to every customer’s needs. Please contact us for more information!

    Efficient and Reliable Dredging with Real-Time Monitoring

    The components are installed on a heavy-duty steel frame with a weather-resistant enclosed canopy. Lifting eyes and forklift pockets ensure safe and convenient handling.

    By using a flow meter the total flow of the mixture can be determined. In combination with the density meter the solid production rate is calculated. Those figures will be shown in real-time on the monitoring screen. This information is crucial in order to dredge efficiently. It will make the operator’s job much easier. This equipment is also valuable for research purposes.

    All data will be logged by the software and can be read out at every desired moment anywhere in the world. Efficient dredging means a higher production of solids, all the while reducing fuel consumption of the total system.

    The following items will be shown on the monitoring screen:

    • Total mixture capacity
    • Total solid production
    • Pressure in the discharge line
    • Vacuum in suction tube
    • Temperature

    All measurements can be displayed in both metric and imperial units.
