New hydrodemolition equipment
Published 14/11, 2023 at 14:27In this year’s special issue we have one big news from Aquajet System and two interesting site reports to share.
Aquajet has introduced the Revojet 270 high pressure pump. It is highly mobile and compact, designed for smaller scale projects. It’s designed to pair with Aquajet’s other compact robots for applications such as small parking garage renovation and industrial cleaning.
“Our innovation comes from constantly listening to customers to create new solutions for tackling their projects,” said Roger Simonsson, Aquajet managing director. “As hydrodemolition gains popularity, customers are looking for ways to use the technology for more aspects of their work. Pairing the Revojet with our compact hydrodemolition machines gives contractors a powerful equipment arsenal for jobs in tighter spaces.”
The new 270 comes with the ‘Revo’ system provides a wide range of functions for users to control and monitor the Revojet in a safe, user-friendly package. Its features include closed loop pressure control or rpm control and smart pressure regulating. The Revojet also has a mode that flushes the hoses without any nozzle mounted. Operators can easily set parameters and can see all important information in real time or view history of items such as the alarm list. The trailer unit weighs 3,500kg, making it light enough to be towed with a pickup or large SUV whilst a stationary Revojet unit is also available.
The Revojet has a standard configuration of 2,800bar and 40l/min. For operations requiring more power, two Revojets can be parallel operated to increase pump power as a flexible alternative to a larger pump.
The Revo remote comes standard and, to increase flexibility, operators can leave the remote in place on the unit or detach it to control the Revojet from up to 300m away with extension cables. The main power system monitors the battery level and shuts down when critical to avoid discharging them completely. It also offers an adjustable auto shutdown timeout that can automatically turn off the main power after a certain period of inactivity to save battery life. The main power is also automatically kept on until the engine finishes its shutdown process.
In addition to the standard radio remote control, the Revo system is compatible with most remotes and high pressure tools on the market. When the robot is connected to the Revojet, everything works as one unit through the radio remote control. This allows operators to connect multiple pieces of equipment. The Revojet was designed to provide easy access for service and maintenance with two large hatches, one on each side of the machine, allowing workers access for routine resulting in less downtime, so the jobsite gets up and running faster when it comes time for service. For bigger jobs, Aquajet offers several larger pumps.
