Inspection and Cleaning Robots for Sewer Systems: Cleaning System
The cleaning system (RS) removes deposits below the water line and dirt from the sewer wall above the water line. This ensures smooth operation of the sewer system operates and establishes the prerequisites for detailed sewer inspection with the damage measuring system (SVM).
A newly developed, fully automated kinematic with an integrated water supply and safety system serves as the universal carrier for all types of high pressure cleaning technologies. Every process parameter related to the cleaning effect and cleaning times is infinitely adjustable. Thus cleaning is performed as needed and resources are conserved. The kinematic makes it possible to separately clean above and below the water line in automatic mode.
The carrier platform is a four-wheeled chassis with all-wheel drive that reliably navigates obstacles.
