Underwater Hull Cleaning
Introducing the Keelcrab
Description
- THE KEELCRAB is the first of a new generation of underwater drones devised and manufactured in Italy that performs semi-automated inspection and hull cleaning operations. It is characterised by an exoskeleton in plastic material with neutral hydrostatic balance. The drone remains attached to the hull thanks to a vacuum/aspiration force, removing any algae or typical vegetation that grows on the hull during periods of rest in enclosed harbours.
- Thanks to its rubber or PVA brushes on tracks the drone easily moves in all directions on most surfaces. The high-resolution underwater camera installed on the drone allows Keelcrab to be manoeuvred via a remote control with cord and the vision can be connected to a tablet or phone via WiFi. As for the cleaning aspect, KeelCrab is equipped with central counter-rotating brushes with nylon bristles of varying length and size. These are easily interchangeable depending on your needs. The brushes are A.N.C.C.P. certified and do not remove anti-fouling paints. On the contrary, they make them last longer: numerous tests have shown that removing the first layer of vegetation (3/5 mm) on a regular basis significantly extends the efficiency of the anti-fouling agent; this prevents barnacles from attaching to the hull in the medium term.
- The drone is also provided with a nylon filter bag of varying micrometer size (optional) for the recovery of waste material, algae or vegetation, resulting from the cleaning operation.
- The warranty certification is valid for 24 months. If you need an extension to 36 months, you can request it [email protected] or signing up the following contact form.
The Keelcrab has several models including models designed for pools
