NEW RELEASE – Aqua Cutter 450 series

At this year’s Bauma exhibition Aquajet is proud to announce the launch of not one, but two groundbreaking hydrodemolition robots. Introducing the Aqua Cutter 450A and Aqua Cutter 450V — compact, powerful, and highly versatile additions to our renowned lineup.

The new electric 450 series brings the power and innovation of Aquajet to a more compact, maneuverable design. As smaller siblings to the Aqua Cutter 750V, these models incorporate the advanced Evolution 3.0 control system, the patented Infinity oscillation system, and an array of other cutting-edge features. Despite their reduced size, they can handle reaction forces up to 1400N, making them highly effective in confined spaces without compromising performance. Like all Aqua Cutter robots, the 450A and 450V efficiently clean and descale rebar without causing microfractures, ensuring structural integrity. They also deliver exceptional reach in horizontal, vertical, and overhead applications, making them ideal for a wide range of hydrodemolition projects.

While both models share core innovations, each is designed to excel in different applications. The 450A excels in maneuverability, making it ideal for tunnels and tight spaces, while the 450V offers superior vertical reach for confined environments.

“After launching the Aqua Cutter 750V and our game-changing Infinity oscillation system, the natural next step was to offer a more compact version,” said Roger Simonsson, Managing Director of Aquajet. “Our customers asked for a smaller alternative without compromising on efficiency — so we delivered. The 450 series is perfect for projects where size and agility are crucial, but performance remains a top priority.”

Both robots in the 450 series are electric-powered, making them ideal for urban hydrodemolition projects and other environments where zero emissions are required. They also feature a detachable Power Control Module (PCM), allowing the PCM and the robot’s tracked crawler to operate separately. This enables the PCM to remain in a safe location while the crawler — remotely controlled via radio — navigates confined or hazardous spaces such as narrow tunnels or flooded sewer pipes.

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.

While both models share core innovations, each is optimized for specific applications.

Aqua Cutter 450A

This model features a hydraulic, articulated arm with two rotating joints and three telescopic extensions, offering a reach of up to 3 meters (9.8 ft). Its agility makes it perfect for confined spaces, such as small tunnels and narrow passageways, as well as applications requiring operation from scaffoldings or narrow ledges.

The Aqua Cutter 450A is designed for efficiency in narrow and confined spaces like tunnels, culverts, and parking garages. Its hydraulic, articulated arm rotates to follow curved surfaces and extends up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) from the robot, enabling precise work on horizontal, vertical, and overhead surfaces. With zero emissions and low noise levels, it’s an ideal choice for urban hydrodemolition projects, delivering powerful performance in enclosed environments.

Aqua Cutter 450V

Combining the compact size of the 450A with the versatility of the 750V, the 450V features a tower system that extends its reach up to 4 meters (13.1 ft). This makes it ideal for confined spaces, vertical shafts, and other applications where both reach and maneuverability are essential.

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.

Compatibility

The 450 series is fully compatible with Aquajet’s new Aqua Rail system, as well as a range of attachments and high-pressure pumps, including the Ecosilence. The robots also integrate seamlessly with Aquajet’s Ecoclear wastewater treatment system, a fully automated solution that allows on-site water treatment and recirculation, ensuring environmentally responsible operations.

With the launch of the Aqua Cutter 450A and 450V, Aquajet continues to set new standards in Hydrodemolition technology—delivering the power, precision, and versatility needed to tackle the toughest concrete removal challenges.
