Aquajet launches new hydrodemolition robots at bauma

Aquajet has launched not one, but two new groundbreaking robots at bauma. 

The company introduced the Aqua Cutter 450A and Aqua Cutter 450V, which are compact, powerful and versatile additions to Aquajet’s lineup.

The new electric 450 series brings the power of Aquajet to a more compact, maneuverable design. As smaller siblings to the Aqua Cutter 750V, both new models incorporate the advanced Evolution 3.0 control system, the patented Infinity oscillation system and an array of other new features. 

Despite their reduced size, the new robots can handle reaction forces up to 1,400 N, making them 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. 

“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 450 series robots 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 remote controlled 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.

The Aqua Cutter 450A features a hydraulic, articulated arm with two rotating joints and three telescopic extensions, offering a reach of up to 3 metres. 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 450V combines 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 metres. This makes it ideal for confined spaces, vertical shafts and other applications where both reach and maneuverability are essential. 

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.
