The present invention relates in general to slurry wall cutters for cutting slurry walls in specialist foundation engineering. The invention relates in particular to the cutting wheel assembly for such a slurry wall cutter (1), comprising a rotationally drivable cutter hub (8) and a cutting wheel (3) which can be detachably fastened to the cutter hub for conjoint rotation. According to the invention, the cutting wheel and the cutter hub are clamped against one another at the end faces thereof and are interlockingly secured to one another in order to transmit the high operating forces non-frictionally or at least not only frictionally. According to the invention, the end faces of the cutting wheel and the cutter hub that can be placed against one another are provided with lateral teeth (16, 17) which mesh with one another for conjoint rotation. The meshing pair of lateral teeth allows the cutter hub and the cutting wheel to be interlockingly held relative to one another for conjoint rotation. At the same time, the end faces lying against one another can also transmit axial forces such that the cutting wheel is untiltably held in place.

A working machine including front and rear wheels or a pair of endless tracks supporting a body. A first working arm with a first implement mount is connected to the body. An apparatus with a collector having a first opening and a sweeper trailing the collector is mounted to the first implement mount. A second implement mount connected to the body, and a milling device is mounted to the second implement mount. The sweeper is configured and arranged to move surface material broken up by the milling device into the collector via the first opening.

The present disclosure provides a dredging device including a body. The body includes a salvaging device salvaging sludge, a crushing device crushing the sludge, a sludge discharging device discharging the sludge, and an adjustiug device adjusting a height of the dredging device and moving. The salvaging device includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel, a transmission belt, salvaging hoppers. The dredging device further includes a second motor, crushing wheels, and a baffle. The second motor is turned on to drive a first gear to engage with second gears, so that rotating shafts drive the crushing wheels to crush sludge and larger stones. The baffle blocks an upper portion of the crushing wheels, which avoids the sludge splashing on a worker.

The present invention relates to a bucket wheel excavator whose bucket wheel is rotationally drivable and is supported at a pivotable bucket wheel boom and to a method of controlling such a bucket wheel excavator. In accordance with the invention, a mass flow and/or material flow adopted on the removal conveyor after a specific advance on the pivoting of the bucket wheel at the predetermined pivot angle speed is/are determined over the pivot angle, a desired mass flow and/or volume flow is/are specified on the removal conveyor, and then the previously specified pivot angle speed is automatically corrected using the determined mass flow and/or volume flow and the specified desired mass flow and/or volume flow to then perform the pivot cycle at the corrected pivot angle speed of the bucket wheel.
