Chain Bucket Dredger 3D model

cgtrader

The low poly model showcases a Chain Bucket Dredger ready for animation, meticulously based on its blueprint design. This stationary mechanical dredger features a continuous chain of buckets that are carried through a U-shaped pontoon via a structure called the ladder. The bucket dredger's drive is located on the upper side and it anchors using six anchors. During operation, the dredger swings around its bow anchor by adjusting winch tension, while filled buckets empty their contents into a chute for transfer to moored barges. The chain's motion derives from an upper tumbler atop the ladder frame, which can be powered either by diesel, belt-driven, or directly via electro motor/hydro-motor.
