Aquajet has introduced two hydrodemolition robots: the Aqua Cutter 450A and Aqua Cutter 450V. These models incorporate the advanced Evolution 3.0 control system.
Despite their reduced size, they can handle reaction forces up to 1400N, making them effective in confined spaces. The 450A and 450V clean and descale rebar without causing microfractures. They also deliver reach in horizontal, vertical and overhead applications.
“After launching the Aqua Cutter 750V and our game-changing Infinity oscillation system, the natural next step was to offer a more compact version. 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”
said Roger Simonsson, Managing Director of Aquajet.
Both robots in the 450 series are electric-powered. They feature a detachable Power Control Module (PCM), 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.
While both models share core innovations, each is optimized for specific applications:
- Aqua Cutter 450A: This model features a hydraulic, articulated arm with two rotating joints and three telescopic extensions, offering a reach of up to 3 meters (9.8 ft). Its agility makes it for confined spaces, such as small tunnels and narrow passageways, as well as applications requiring operation from scaffoldings or narrow ledges.
- Aqua Cutter 450V: Combining the compact size of the 450A with the versatility of the 750V, the 450V features a tower system that extends its reach up to 4 meters (13.1 ft). This makes it for confined spaces, vertical shafts and other applications where both reach and maneuverability are essential.
The 450 series is compatible with Aquajet’s new Aqua Rail system, as well as a range of attachments and high-pressure pumps, including the Ecosilence. The robots also integrate with Aquajet’s EcoClear wastewater treatment system.
