Aqua Cutter 450V

The Aqua Cutter 450V is a high-performance Hydrodemolition robot that combines advanced technology with a compact, electric-powered design. Despite its small footprint, it delivers exceptional power and reach, handling reaction forces up to 1,600N. Its extendable tower system allows for a 4-meter (13.1 ft) reach without support and up to 10 meters (32.8 ft) with tower support, making it the perfect solution for confined spaces and zero-emission environments where larger machines can’t go.

Compact electric power

The Aqua Cutter 450V efficiently cleans and descales rebar without causing microfractures, ensuring structural integrity. Designed for horizontal, vertical, and overhead applications, it offers exceptional reach for diverse Hydrodemolition projects. Its electric-powered design makes it ideal for urban and zero-emission environments. The detachable Power Control Module (PCM) allows safe, remote operation while the crawler navigates confined or hazardous spaces like tunnels and flooded sewer pipes. Fully compatible with the Aqua Rail System 3.0 and a wide range of attachments, the 450V also integrates with high-pressure pumps, including the Ecosilence, and connects to Aquajet’s Ecoclear system for on-site water filtration and recirculation, ensuring environmentally responsible operations.

Setups

  • Extendable tower system

    The Aqua Cutter 450V, equipped with an extendable tower system, is the perfect choice for vertical applications in tight spaces such as shafts, high walls, and overhead work, but it is just as efficient in horizontal work. It offers a reach of up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) without support and up to 10 meters (32.8 feet) with support. Its adjustable hoist and tilt function ensure precise positioning of the power head, making it easy to retract, inspect the results, and resume work seamlessly.

  • Disconnectable PCM

    With a disconnectable Power Control Module (PCM), both Aqua Cutter 450 models can reach areas inaccessible to electric-powered equipment. Separating the PCM from the tracked crawler allows them to operate independently via radio control. This keeps the PCM in a safe location while the fully submersible crawler navigates confined or hazardous spaces, such as narrow tunnels or flooded sewer pipes.

Features

  • Patented Infinity Oscillation

    The Infinity oscillation, a patented Aquajet innovation, improves concrete removal efficiency and creates a smoother surface. It allows the lance to move in a dual circular motion, rather than just a pendulum, maintaining a constant oscillation speed and eliminating pipe holes.

  • Tower Positioning system

    All Aqua Cutter V-models feature a tower positioning function, allowing forward and backward movement to adjust the distance to the target surface, ideal for wall work. When fully extended, the tower enhances stability for handling greater reaction forces and simplifies inspection—retract to check results, then extend to continue seamlessly.

  • Extendable tower system

    Its extendable tower system allows for a 4-meter (13.1 ft) reach without support and up to 10 meters (32.8 ft) with tower support, making it the perfect solution for vertical applications in tight spaces, including operations in shafts, high walls, and overhead work.

  • EDS (Equal Distance System)

    All our Aqua Cutter robots feature our patented EDS system, short for Equal Distance System. The EDS keeps a preset dis­tance from the nozzle to the concrete surface. This is a major advantage. Standard systems without EDS make the water jet lose a lot of power before it hits the concrete.

  • Smart Lance Technology

    The patented Smart Lance software, standard on all Aqua Cutter robots, optimizes lance control by coordinating speeds between the power head and lance. It adjusts automatically during turns, ensuring consistent speed, reduced turning zones, and maximized surface coverage for greater accuracy and removal efficiency.

  • Smooth ride tracks

    Smooth ride tracks allow the machine to glide effortlessly over surfaces, ensuring precise nozzle distance and seamless transportation.

  • Precision drive

    This technology ensures precise hydraulic movements, eliminating inconsistencies. In automatic mode, the robot’s lance maintains the water jet in the ideal position for optimal hydrodemolition results.

  • Intelligent Sensing Control

    Intelligent Sensing Control (ISC) uses advanced software and closed-loop systems to track water jet movements and monitor the process based on the operator’s settings. This reduces downtime and eliminates the need for cables.

  • Easy service

    The Aqua Cutter 450’s innovative design ensures easy maintenance and minimal downtime. A foldable back cover on the Power Control module provides full access for daily tasks and service jobs. The Evolution 3.0 control system further simplifies maintenance with an extensive alarm list. The system also automatically tracks service schedules, notifying operators when maintenance is due, thus keeping downtime to a minimum.
