Barcelona, Spain-based MTG Systems used the occasion of the recent Europort exhibition to introduce DMET, a hammerless system for replacing cutter suction dredger teeth which promises to maximise productivity.
With productivity and profitability closely linked, the rapid and reliable replacement of cutter head teeth is a major concern for cutter suction dredger operators, especially in hard rock conditions when the replacement process is required more frequently.
The DMET system includes a hammerless locking technology, MTG Twist, which promises added reliability and ease of use. Tooth replacement can be carried out by a single operator and the hammerless pin can be re-used several times, even in severe conditions. Due to the vertical positioning of the pin, access for assembly and disassembly is improved and pin loss during tooth replacement is avoided.
