What is a cutter suction dredger?

A cutter suction dredger is a type of dredging vessel that is equipped with a rotating cutter head and a suction pipe. The rotating cutter head is used to loosen the sediment at the bottom of the body of water.

How Does a Cutter Suction Dredger Work??

Cutter suction dredgers work by using a rotating cutter head to loosen sediment at the bottom of a body of water. The cutter head is typically a circular wheel with a series of sharp teeth that rotate as the dredger moves forward.

What is the main purpose of dredging?

The main purpose of dredging is to deepen and maintain navigational channels, which allow ships and boats to reach their destinations more safely and efficiently. There are several dredging systems and types.

What is marina and harbor dredging, and why is it necessary?

Marinas and harbors are essential transportation centers for boats and ships that require regular maintenance to operate correctly. The accumulation of sediment, silt, and other debris in these waterways can cause shallow waters that impede navigation and pose safety risks to vessels.

Assay on Wheels®: Innovative Solutions for Gold Recovery and Transparency

When it comes to gold mining, it’s not just important to apply effective gold recovery methods, but also to ensure the quality and origin of the gold. Assay on Wheels® (AOW) provides a mobile, technology-driven solution that revolutionizes the gold smelting, testing, and processing process, resulting in a more efficient and transparent gold supply chain. Here’s how AOW makes a difference for miners and the global gold industry.

The AOW Solution: Mobility and Innovation in Gold Processing

Assay on Wheels® is a mobile melting platform technology deployed in various locations worldwide, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Peru, Mali, the United States, and more. This platform offers a fully integrated solution that not only streamlines gold processing but also provides accurate and transparent gold analysis and testing on-site.

With AOW, both large and small gold mines can process gold quickly and efficiently without relying on complex, expensive infrastructure at fixed locations. This makes AOW not only convenient but also cost-effective for miners around the world.

Enhanced Gold Processing with Real-Time Testing and Certification

One of the biggest advantages of AOW is the ability to conduct real-time assaying and certification. This means miners can test their gold directly on-site without the need to travel to a laboratory or ship the gold elsewhere. This not only speeds up the process but also ensures a higher level of transparency, allowing miners and governments to trust that the gold supply chain is free from conflicts and fraud.

Efficiency and Sustainability in the Gold Industry

AOW provides a sustainable solution by minimizing the environmental impact of mining. Advanced gold processing technologies reduce waste and harmful substances significantly. Additionally, the AOW units are designed to operate in locations with minimal disruption to the environment, reducing the ecological footprint of the gold industry.

The Future of Gold Mining: Transparency and Accountability

With AOW, more transparency and accountability are brought into the gold industry. The platform contributes to a conflict-free gold supply chain by ensuring traceability from mine to marketplace. This not only helps comply with international laws and regulations but also supports ethical and responsible mining practices.

Global Impact: Where AOW is Already Making a Difference

Our Assay on Wheels® units are active in various countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Peru, and the United States. We have several units on standby in other key gold mining regions worldwide, including Mali, Colombia, and the Philippines, ready to be deployed as needed.

Additionally, AOW is patent-pending in over 90 countries and fully patented in countries like Mongolia, Colombia, Russia, Mexico, the Philippines, and China.
