DSM-3020 (4-wheeler) Desilting Machine

DSM-3020 4-Wheeler Desilting Machine

The Maniar DSM-3020 4-wheeler is a compact desilting machine mounted on a Tata Ace Gold BS VI chassis. A hydraulic boom with a winch and a hydraulically operated grab bucket lifts silt out of manholes and drains to a depth of up to 32 ft, and a hydraulically operated silt hopper of 0.5 cum collects it.

The boom swings 90° to both sides, lifts at least 45° and has a working radius of 2.1 m. The grab bucket uses a four bar linkage and a double acting hydraulic cylinder to give a grabbing force of up to 2.8 tonnes, and the machine lifts a safe load of 25 kg. The hydraulic system is powered by the vehicle’s engine, and the hose reel on the boom carries a twin hose of at least 40 ft. The hopper has a high dumping height, so silt can be emptied directly into a container or compactor.

It is manufactured by Maniar & Co. in Ahmedabad, India. See all desilting machines, or use the form below to get the full specification by email.

How the DSM-3020 4-Wheeler Works

A hydraulic boom carries a four bar linkage grab bucket that lifts silt out of manholes and drains to a depth of up to 32 ft (about 10 m). The boom is raised and lowered hydraulically (45 degrees minimum), swings 90 degrees to both sides through a direct coupled high torque gear motor, has a manual extension with a locking arrangement and a working radius of 2.1 m.

A hydraulic winch on the boom raises and lowers the bucket: a hydro motor is fitted directly into a worm reduction gear box (9.5 kgm torque rating, alloy steel worm shaft, phosphorus bronze worm wheel) and drives a 6 mm x 40 ft galvanised wire rope with FMC core (Usha Martin or equivalent, 22.5 kN breaking strength). The double acting grab bucket cylinder, with moulded cast steel side jaws of 10 mm minimum, gives a grabbing force of up to 2.8 tonnes.

The silt is emptied into a hydraulically operated 0.5 cum hopper with a high dumping height, so it can be emptied directly into a container or compactor. The hopper is emptied at least 300 mm away horizontally from the rear of the chassis, and an embossed rear cover protects the rear of the chassis from silt. Power for the hydraulic system is taken from the vehicle engine.
