Line 05 · Magnetic Climbing Robot
Tank rust removal robot
The tank-wall specialist with the fullest published specification in the line — jetting pressure, rates, travel speeds and a 95%+ wastewater recovery rate for storage tank maintenance.
The tank rust removal robot applies the line's magnetic crawler technology to its most common industrial job: storage tank walls. Its published application record starts with petrochemical storage tanks and external anti-corrosion maintenance — replacing manual rust removal from scaffolding, with the robot handling an average daily area of 70–100 square metres on tank walls in the described deployment.
The specification is complete enough to plan a shutdown around. Dimensions are 786 x 1,154 x 550 mm; whole machine weight is 90 kg or less; high-pressure water jet pressure is 2,800 bar (280 MPa) with continuously variable speed regulation; rust removal efficiency is 15–70 sqm/h at the Sa2.5 level; mobile speed is 8 m/min unloaded and 4 m/min while operating; and the wastewater recovery rate is 95% or more, so the water that strips the wall is collected rather than spread across the tank farm floor.
The stated core advantages frame the purchase: safety and high-risk substitution (the robot goes where scaffolders would), efficient operation and precision, environmental protection and resource control, and automation with adaptability across tank geometries. Pair it with the anti-corrosion coating robot and the same maintenance window covers strip and recoat.
Core advantages on record
- Safety substitution — replaces scaffolding work on tank walls in high-risk environments.
- Efficient, precise operation — 15–70 sqm/h at Sa2.5 from a 90 kg machine.
- Environmental control — >=95% wastewater recovery keeps the work area contained.
- Automation and adaptability — remote operation across tank wall geometries.

What to confirm for your project
- Plan shutdown windows on the conservative end of the 15–70 sqm/h band until your rust grade is assessed — heavy scale sits at the slow end.
- Confirm bund and drainage arrangements: 95%+ recovery still leaves a process stream to handle.
- Ask about minimum order requirements and lead time for your proposed configuration.
Buyer questions
How much wall can it treat in a day?
The published application description gives an average daily treatment area of 70–100 square metres on petrochemical tank external walls, within the 15–70 sqm/h rate band.
Does it recover the blasting water?
Yes — the wastewater recovery rate is published at 95% or more.
What surface grade does it achieve?
Rust removal is specified at the Sa2.5 level, the standard preparation grade for recoating tank steel.
