Maxicrab

DESCRIPTION

Maxicrab is a Cleaning-Robots from Keelcrab. It is built for Cleaning, Inspection. Key figures: 17 kg.

Maxicrab is the largest robot in Aeffe's Keelcrab range, an underwater drone for proactive, filtered cleaning of yacht and boat hulls up to 60 m (190 ft). The maker says it can clean 95% of a yacht hull, removing algae and light barnacles and regenerating antifouling paint by brushing off its degraded surface layer, and that it cleans a 30 m yacht in under two hours. It measures 72 x 45 x 30 cm, weighs 17 kg out of the water and draws 550 W, with dual hydrojet electric motors giving 75 cubic metres an hour of suction and a cleaning rate of 12 square metres a minute. Two motorised brush units take soft or medium nylon disc sets, a 1080p HD camera and 2,400-lumen LEDs support inspection, and a fixed residue collection system keeps paint particles, microplastics and toxic residues out of the sea, to be emptied about every 50 hours. It runs on a 40 m power cable (customisable up to 100 m) with a 15 m remote-control cable; an optional Reactive Cleaning Pack adds stainless-steel discs and a 5-litre filter bag.
