To continuously improve our patented robotic technology to increase productivity and to protect the environment.
Waterjet Robotics' ENVIROBOT® delivers the highest coating removal rates in the industry using patented magnetic air-gap ultra high water pressure waterjetting technology. Our globally patented robots offer significant advantages over traditional grit blast or manual ultra high pressure (UHP) processes to remove heavy duty marine and industrial coatings.
The developers behind Waterjet Robotics have spent nearly two decades developing the ENVIROBOT® system and designing it to meet the challenges of steel surface preparation while increasing productivity, protecting workers, minimizing processed waste and protecting the natural environment.
The ENVIROBOT® combines ultra high pressure water to strip coatings and uses a custom vacuum system to collect all effluent from the paint removal process for disposal. The ENVIROBOT® magnetically attaches to steel surfaces and is easily navigated with a wireless remote control. Removing coatings at a rate of 500 to 3000 sq. ft. per hour, the ENVIROBOT® can traverse the most challenging surfaces. The semi-automated system has proven to deliver significant economic and environmental advantages over traditional grit blasting and manual UHP processes including:
- The ability to work in close proximity to other trades or maintenance processes
- Lower manpower requirements
- Reduced clean up costs
- Higher productivity
- Reduces access requirements (staging, cranes, platforms, etc.)
- Safe, Reliable, Clean and Efficient operation
- Full Service, Sales and Rental Programs are available
With over 3 years in the development stage, Waterjet Robotics is pleased to announce that in 2018 the decision was made to bring its latest UHP unit, the Scorpion, to market. This smaller, yet powerful, robot was designed to work on smaller projects, in tighter spaces and with a reduced support staff. If you thought the ENVIROBOT® was out of your reach, then the Scorpion was designed just for you.
Waterjet Robotics offers full service contracting, on-site lease purchase programs and sales with tailored maintenance packages and technical support.
