Keelcrab ONE

DESCRIPTION

Keelcrab ONE is a Cleaning-Robots from Keelcrab. It is built for Cleaning, Inspection. Key figures: 9.5 kg, released 2023.

Keelcrab ONE is the entry-level underwater hull-cleaning robot in Aeffe's Keelcrab range, a tethered vacuum-and-inspection ROV for pleasure boats up to 45 feet. Designed and built in Italy, it holds itself against the hull by suction, removes and vacuums up the first layers of vegetation with a fixed horizontal nylon brush, and moves in any direction on tracked rubber or PVA brushes that let it climb over obstacles. An HD underwater camera streams video to a wired remote control with joystick and 7-inch display (or an optional tablet or phone), so the owner can inspect the hull while cleaning. It cleans about 5 square metres a minute, weighs about 10 kg and draws 320 W from mains power through an external box that outputs 26.5 V DC to a 15 m cable. It comes pre-arranged for the optional light pack, motorised brush and Keelcrab Bag filter, so owners can upgrade it later. Its A.N.C.C.P.-certified brushes are designed to remove the first 3-5 mm of growth without stripping antifouling paint, which the maker says extends the paint's life, slows barnacle formation, cuts fuel consumption and keeps sailing performance up.
