Aquajet robots are useful in sewer applications primarily for rehabilitation of concrete or steel pipes in urban locations, particularly in confined and hazardous environments. The primary use is the selective removal of deteriorated concrete in sewer pipes without causing microfractures to the surrounding structure, which is vital for maintaining structural integrity. The water jets are also highly effective for cleaning and descaling the internal surfaces of pipes, removing built-up residue, grease and other debris.
The Aqua Cutter 450 series brings the power and innovation of Aquajet to a more compact, maneuverable design. As smaller siblings to the Aqua Cutter 750V, these models incorporate the Evolution 3.0 control system, the Infinity oscillation system and an array of other cutting-edge features. Despite their reduced size, they can handle reaction forces up to 1400N, making them highly effective in confined spaces without compromising performance.
“After launching the Aqua Cutter 750V and our game-changing Infinity oscillation system, the natural next step was to offer a more compact version,” says Roger Simonsson, managing director of Aquajet. “Our customers asked for a smaller alternative without compromising on efficiency, so we delivered. The 450 series is perfect for projects where size and agility are crucial, but performance remains a top priority.”
The robots are electric-powered, making them ideal for urban projects and other environments where zero emissions are required. They also feature a detachable Power Control Module, allowing the PCM and the robot’s tracked crawler to operate separately. This enables the PCM to remain in a safe location while the crawler — remotely controlled via radio — navigates confined or hazardous spaces such as narrow tunnels or flooded sewer pipes.
The Aqua Cutter 450A features a hydraulic, articulated arm with two rotating joints and three telescopic extensions, offering a reach of up to 9.8 feet. Its agility makes it ideal for confined spaces such as small tunnels and narrow passageways, as well as applications requiring operation from scaffoldings or narrow ledges. The Aqua Cutter 450V combines the compact size of the 450A with the versatility of the 750V, featuring a tower system that extends its reach up to 13.1 feet. They integrate seamlessly with Aquajet’s EcoClear wastewater treatment system, a fully automated solution that allows on-site treatment and recirculation, ensuring environmentally responsible operations.
