Discover Our Hydraulic Trash Rack Cleaning Robot

Trash Rack Cleaning Machine play a pivotal role in maintaining the operational efficiency of hydropower plants. These hydraulic machines are specifically designed to remove debris and other obstructions that accumulate at the intakes of hydropower facilities. With the increasing demand for renewable energy sources, ensuring the seamless functioning of hydropower plants is crucial, and hydraulic trash rack cleaning machines serve as a significant component in achieving this goal.

Revolutionary underwater
3D scanning technology

The system generates a three-dimensional scan of the trash rack, identifying the exact locations of debris and obstructions. Based on this data, the machine automatically moves precisely to the contaminated area, eliminating the need to clean the entire surface and significantly reducing operation time.

This solution not only increases cleaning efficiency, but also minimizes energy consumption and mechanical wear, resulting in lower operating costs.

Floating log removal function – in manual mode using the controller

This function of Trash Rack Cleaning Machine allows the operator to manually remove large floating obstacles, such as tree logs, using a wireless controller. It enables quick response to emergency situations and enhances operational safety at the water intake.

Function for lifting
and transporting sluice
gates weighing
up to 2 tons

The lifting and transporting function allows the handling of sluice gates weighing up to 2 tons using the robot’s grab. This enables easy installation, removal, or relocation of gates within the facility without the need for additional heavy equipment. The process can be carried out in manual or semi-automatic mode, with full control over the position and safety of the transported element.

Multifunctional grab
Bottom dredging function

The robot’s multifunctional grab is designed not only for standard trash rack cleaning but also for bottom dredging. Thanks to its ability to hydraulically penetrate sediment and operate under optimal pressure, the grab efficiently removes sand, silt, and other materials from the channel bottom. This function can operate in automatic or manual mode, ensuring precise and effective cleaning in the selected area.

Trash Rack Cleaning Machine
with Bottom Dredging Function

This is a highly innovative solution that has not been available on the market until now.

The machine offers high efficiency and fast performance in both bottom and trash rack cleaning.
It is equipped with a hydraulic grab designed to remove embedded sand, silt, branches, and other debris from the channel bottom — materials that cannot be handled by cable-operated cleaners.

With its telescopic hydraulic arm and advanced sensors, the system automatically detects sediment levels. The operator can switch to manual mode at any time and control the process via a wireless controller, or let the machine run fully autonomously.

The bottom dredging function can operate either in parallel with rack cleaning or as a separate process.
All parameters — frequency, repetitions, working area, and dredging method — are fully configurable.

Collected material can be transferred to a container or, optionally, released into the water flow, allowing it to pass through the channel and turbine.
This significantly speeds up the process and increases overall operational efficiency.
