The company says that the HighMate C20 Cargo Hold Cleaning Robot can reach up to 95% of the holds surface, and it will be holding live demonstrations at the SMM 2024 exhibition in Hamburg, Germany.
The robot features five 500-bar high-pressure nozzles that clean at 1 metre width at a coverage rate of 95%. Its maximum working pressure is equal to 100 times the pressure of a traditional fire hose and can clean up to 500 square metres per hour.
The unit is operated by seafarers on board, with the company claiming that most users can learn the basic functions in 10 minutes or less.
“We’re incredibly excited to launch the C20 at SMM, in front of global leaders from the maritime industry,” said Hua-yang Xu, founder and CEO at RobotPlusPlus.
“We relish the opportunity at this distinguished trade conference to also develop new partners from across the world. At RobotPlusPlus, we’ve always been committed to innovation in the maritime industry and enjoy collaborating with like-minded partners in this space.”
