July 24, 2014

Dredge Yard recently acquired and installed additional new machines in its facility in Turkey. This equipment, CNC vertical lathes and CNC Pattern Maker, will increase their capacity in the machining and assembly shop and to align with the capacity of the casting and fettling.

Dredge Yard with its subsidiary in Izmit city in Turkey is focusing on production of components and equipment needed for the dredging and mining industry. Some of the main components supplied from Dredge Yard Makina are dredge pumps, dredge ball joints, turning glands, swivel bends, dredge valves, tumbler blocks, cutter heads and many others.

Dredge Yard is also co-operating with many partners in the region for the casting and machining in order to cope with the high demand of Dredge Yard’s products and keep its short delivery times.

The company is able to supply components in several cast steel and cast iron, in soft and hard wear resistant materials that can be used in dredge pumps, ball joints, bends and many others. Those components are cast with Dredge Yard’s partners and fettling is done in the facility in Izmit.

Once the machining is done, all products are thoroughly tested, inspected and assembled at Dredge Yard work shop and made ready for transport.

The recent capacity increase will allow Dredge Yard to make its own casting patterns and machine more parts up to the size of 2.5 meter by itself and shorten the delivery time and save transport costs. The shorter delivery time and the cost saving will contribute to the benefit and satisfaction of Dredge Yard’s customers.

Dredge Yard’s Production Manager, Kabi Eisa, said: “Dredge Yard is pursuing to procure more machines in the near future that will increase the manufacturing capacity aiming to become faster, flexible and more efficient maintaining the same high quality of the products.”

Beside Turkey, Dredge Yard is producing dredge components and equipment in other countries as The Netherlands, Romania and UAE.
