PRODUCTS.
Keelcrab ONE. Keelcrab ONE is an underwater robot made for cleaning boat hulls. The robot features a plastic exoskeleton with hydrostatically neutral buoyancy; Suction force is generated by a central impeller or turbine (propeller), driven by an electric motor, which performs the dual function of holding the robot in adherence to the hull and removing algae that forms on the live work. Movement is on rubberized brushes driven by tracks that allow maneuvering in all directions. For more effective vegetation removal, central brushes with nylon bristles of varying length and diameter were applied. The high-resolution IP68 underwater camera allows KeelCrab ONE to be operated by means of a wired remote control with video stream display on a high-resolution 7-inch screen. Keelcrab ONE is the ideal product for those who want to keep their hulls in perfect working order and clean with the use of an effective and easy-to-apply technology.
iKeelcrab. iKeelCrab is “the upgrade” of keelcrab ONE and can be operated from smartphones and tablets, (iOS and Android systems with apps downloadable from our website or related circuits), with the video stream displayed directly on the device. Movement of the robot is by means of virtual controls placed on the screen, which are simple and intuitive to use. Upon request, the robot comes with a wired remote control with video stream display on a high-resolution screen.
Harsonic. Harsonic is a brand new ultrasonic wave emitter for immediate installation, calibrated to special frequencies that prevent the proliferation of vegetation on the hull of your boat. Once installed, cleaning operations with your Keelcrab will be optimized by fewer steps as the vegetation that is physiologically forming, especially as water temperatures rise, will be instantaneously and continuously bombarded by ultrasound that prevents its proliferation. With the use of Harsonic you can definitely say goodbye to antifouling installation and related environmental pollution.
