Project Background
The client’s settling ponds were scattered across the site, with each pond measuring 10m x 8m x 3.5m. The sludge thickness inside reached 1.7 meters, and the pond bottoms featured a sloped design. The client required an industrial tank cleaning robot that could safely operate in a chemical environment while handling large volumes of fluid waste.


The Tailored Solution
We recommended the YG-600 model, a robust sludge cleaning robot equipped with comprehensive explosion-proof features. This specific underwater dredging robot includes explosion-proof control systems, motors, and hydraulics, making it ideal for hazardous chemical, oil, and coal chemical plants. Alongside the robot, we provided a hydraulic automatic filter press to manage the extracted materials efficiently.

On-Site Operation and Results
The equipment performed exceptionally well in the field. The machine successfully extracted the thick sludge from the sloped ponds. Following the extraction, the hydraulic automatic filter press processed the slurry and discharged solid mud cakes, greatly reducing waste volume and disposal costs. This operational success proved that our machine delivers reliable performance in demanding chemical applications.


Why Choose YG Underwater Dredging Robot?
Unlike a traditional sand dredging machine, our system offers superior automation for enclosed spaces and industrial pipelines. By replacing manual labor with automated machinery, you significantly lower safety risks, especially in toxic or explosive environments. Whether you need to clear municipal drainage pipes or handle river ecological dredging, a sand dredging machine from our catalog provides versatile solutions for various water bodies.

Key Features and Applications for Sludge Cleaning Robot
Our machinery covers multiple scenarios. As an industrial tank cleaning robot, it excels in chemical pipelines and sewage treatment plants. When acting as an underwater dredging robot for narrow trenches, it easily navigates complex urban sewer networks. Furthermore, for large water bodies like lakes and reservoirs, the equipment functions as an effective sand dredging machine to clear eutrophic sediment and improve water quality.


Essential Inquiry Guidelines
When you plan to purchase an underwater dredging robot, we recommend clarifying a few key details with our sales team. First, describe your specific application scenario or share pictures of the construction site. Second, confirm your required wastewater processing capacity, such as 100, 150, or 200 cubic meters per hour. Finally, specify the required dredging width for your project.
Conclusion
This 2025 Mexico case highlights the efficiency and safety of our equipment in the chemical industry. By utilizing an underwater dredging robot combined with a filter press, the client achieved seamless sludge extraction and dewatering. Our machinery has already been exported to countries like the USA, France, and South Africa. We look forward to supporting your next dredging project.
