BACK TO OVERVIEW
Dredging
Lagersmit has been in the dredging industry since 1856. Due to the harsh conditions (lots of sand and vibrations), there was a need for robust and reliable seals for dredging pumps and propulsion systems. Our sealing solutions for dredgers are mainly applied to cutter suction dredgers (CSDs) and trailing suction hopper dredgers.
Liquidyne® and Supreme® seals
When it comes to dredging equipment, reliability is the key. You need to keep the dredging process going 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The water-lubricated Liquidyne® seal was initially developed for heavy-duty dredge pumps. Besides having a stable dredger pump, it is also important to keep your dredging vessel going. To make this possible, we supply our own propulsion and cutter shaft Supreme® seals.
Both Liquidyne and Supreme seals were specially developed for the dredging industry where superb durability matters the most. Use the Liquidyne and Supreme combination in your dredging operation and take the next step in reliability and performance. You can find our sealing solutions for dredgers on the following applications:
- Dredge pumps
- Slurry pumps
- Jet pumps
- Booster pumps
- Process pumps
- Deep well pumps
- Cooling-water pumps
- Bulkheads
- Cutter ladders
- Thrusters
- Stern tubes

Our customers
Liquidyne® pump shaft seals
The Liquidyne pump shaft seals are specially designed to cope with severe shocks and vibrations, wrong alignment and abrasive media. The condition of the seal can be monitored so you know exactly how long you can continue dredging.
Supreme® propulsion seals
Our Supreme seals deliver a plus to your dredger’s propulsion system. We believe a stern tube seal should deliver top performance, keep you going and offer you Peace of Mind.
