crawler Duct cleaning

Duct cleaning robot for demanding duct and pipe cleaning

The duct cleaning robot self-navigates in round ducts and moves through rectangular horizontal and vertical ducts, negotiates bends and takes cleaning where conventional methods reach their limits

Clean demanding ducts more efficiently

The duct cleaning robot is designed for applications where conventional cleaning methods are difficult to use, cannot reach far enough or would require additional access openings. It is particularly well suited for long, complex and vertical ventilation and grease ducts.
The technology has been tested in real customer environments, including more than 40 restaurant grease duct systems.
The solution is designed for duct cleaning and facility service companies that want to take on more demanding projects and expand their cleaning and inspection services.

crawler duct cleaning robot

One robotic platform, multiple applications

The robotic platform can be used for dry ice duct cleaning, duct inspection, imaging and the robotic operation of conventional brush cleaning systems.
Its modular design allows the same system to be used in different cleaning and inspection applications and together with existing duct cleaning equipment.

Real-time monitoring
01

Cleaning performance

Effective cleaning performance especially in demanding applications. Cleaning results can be verified with recorded video footage.

100% customer satisfaction with cleaning results.

02

Technical capability

An advanced robotic system designed to move over screws, joints and other small obstacles inside ductwork without unnecessary risk of getting stuck.

03

Versatility

The duct cleaning robot can be operated fully automatically or semi-automatically depending on the application.

04

Easy operation

The robot self-navigates in round ducts. The operator can monitor the cleaning process on a large 21-inch display and adjust the required parameters. In rectangular ducts, straightforward steering makes it easier to clean the full duct surface.

05

Real-time monitoring

Four Full HD cameras provide real-time visibility on the 21-inch display. The operator can view one camera feed or all four simultaneously for precise operation and clear verification of the cleaning result.

06

Attractive payback period

The pricing has been designed to provide customers with a clear and attractive return on investment.

07

No secondary waste

During dry ice cleaning, carbon dioxide sublimates into gas. No secondary waste such as chemical or water-based cleaning residue is produced.

08

Surface disinfection

Dry ice blasting at approximately −78 °C provides an effective method for disinfection and odour removal, helping remove mould, organic growth, bacteria and odour-causing contaminants.

09

Lightweight and easy to handle

The robot weighs approximately 6–12 kg depending on the configuration, making it easy to lift, handle and install in the ductwork. Watch the video

The transport cases weigh approximately 16–22 kg and can be moved easily using their integrated wheels. Watch the video

Tested in demanding duct cleaning applications

The robotic system has been used in real-world cleaning projects involving grease ducts, ventilation ducts and other hard-to-reach duct systems.
In addition to dry ice duct cleaning, the platform can be used for duct inspection and imaging. We are also developing its use in robotic brush cleaning applications.
Combined with manual dry ice cleaning, the system enables a comprehensive cleaning service from the exhaust hood to the rooftop exhaust fan. Learn more at dryice.fi

Easy to operate in both horizontal and vertical ducts

Less steering, easier operation

In round ducts, the robot uses the duct geometry to guide itself automatically, including through bends.
The operator does not need to continuously control the direction of travel and can instead focus on monitoring progress, cleaning speed and the cleaning process itself.
The 21-inch control display provides a clear view of the robot’s movement and camera feeds while allowing the operator to manage the system from one place.
The duct cleaning robot is suitable for round ducts with diameters of 200–630 mm and rectangular ducts with heights of 286–408 mm and a minimum width of 300 mm.

Strong traction in demanding duct systems

The robot has been designed for strong traction and stability, enabling reliable movement in vertical and geometrically demanding ductwork.
In practical testing, the system has also been able to pass small obstacles inside ducts, such as protruding screws.
The duct cleaning robot has successfully cleaned a 16-metre-high vertical duct.
