Imagine how much experience we have in dredging! Since 1956 we are producing gearboxes for the dredging industry from the first cutter head to the largest in the world.

Jake supplied gearboxes for the biggest vessels to all the main dredging companies for example cutter dredgers like J.F.J. de Nul, Athena or D`artagnan as well as jumbo hopper dredgers like Cristobal Colon and Congo River.

We produce propulsion drives used in the dredging industry for decades up to 250 t, such as:

• cutter heads (CD)
• cutter wheels (CW)
• dredge pumps (DP)
• jet pumps (JP)
• winches (WD)
• propellers (PG)
• generators (GD)

We choose the best driving solution to every application:

• spur- / helical gears
• bevel spur / helical gears
• planetary gears

according to catalogue or made to buyers‘ specification.

Advantages which convince the experts :

There are numerous possible applications for marine gear units. The requirements are very high since these gear units have to work under very harsh – sometimes bad – conditions.

Here our gearboxes have proved their strength.

Whether as cutter head gear units for excavating channels and port installations, as gear units for dredge pumps in use underwater, on deck and in the engine room, as winch gear units for winding drag cables or as propeller shaft gear units – our gear units are of designs proven in practice and possessing the latest technologies. They ensure smooth working and provide safety as a result of their high reliability and they meet all requirements – everywhere.
