Develops Portable Multifunction System for Robot Work in Sewer Rehabilitation

KA-TE, the Swiss distributor of sewer rehabilitation robots, has added a portable multifunction system to its line of products. The newly developed KA-TE COMPACT system allows rehabilitation companies to carry out projects in sites that would otherwise be difficult to access.

In addition, the system — with the full functional capabilities of the KA-TE milling and filler robots — can even be installed in existing vehicles; a particular bonus for international customers.

According to Andreas Lieb, general manager of KA-TE, the idea for the new development came from a customer's request for a KA-TE system for milling in a factory hall. The hall entrance did not have the dimensions to accommodate the 3-m height of the system vehicle. The new development makes it possible to fit the entire system, including the hydraulic system, cable drum, compressor, water tank, water pump, and the electric system, as well as an extendable swiveling crane, into a single, independently stable steel frame. With this 850 kilo 2100x800x1750 mm (length by width by height) frame, it is possible to directly transport the system to its application site and the system, according to Lieb, is immediately ready to operate, even if it's just sitting on the ground. Even the installation into a vehicle of the customer's choice is very straightforward: The system is secured to the vehicle by only four screws; a cable connects the system to the control panel.

The KA-TE COMPACT system is equipped with a robot cable and an 85-m hydraulic hose kit and has the full functional capabilities of the reliable KA-TE system. The 250 liter integrated water tank is operated at a mobile control panel with a built-in keyboard and 15-in. flat screen monitor. The system can perform the entire range of milling and filling work as well as the work carried out by the KA-TE shield placing mechanism, whether in difficult-to-access areas such as cellars and tunnels or in level fabric halls, and without any sacrifice in functionality or long-trusted KA-TE quality.

In particular, it is international customers who stand to profit from being able to easily install the KA-TE COMPACT system in existing vehicles, says KA-TE CEO, Christian Noll. Since no special vehicle entry permit is required, shipping this system abroad is both easier and faster. The option is only available for milling robots. However, the system can be extended at any time to include filler robots or the KA-TE shield placing mechanism. The system has repeatedly proven itself in real life applications. One sewer rehabilitation business owner ordered a complete system vehicle, but would not have been able to meet the deadlines for his order due to the vehicle manufacturer's shipping schedule.

In just two weeks, KA-TE was able to provide him with a KA-TE COMPACT system, which he then installed in an available existing vehicle. Since the mobile system spares the costs of a new vehicle and interior fittings, the investment in the new system is actually more affordable, says Noll. It is also easy to remove the system from a vehicle and remount it in another vehicle.

Cold Water Pressure Washer Supports 1500 PSI, 3 GPM

Daimer Industries, Inc.®, a large-scale supplier of cold water pressure washer equipment, is shipping an electric-powered, non-heated system supporting 1500 psi and 3 GPM. Daimer®'s Super Max™ 8700 model features a high size-to-power ratio for ease of use and low cost.

"This cold water pressure washer offers a blend of power, pressure and size that many customers find appealing," announced Matthew Baratta, a commercial pressure washer systems representative for Daimer.com. "These power washers increase worker productivity and carry a modest price tag."

Cold Water Pressure Washer with All the Trimmings
Each Super Max™ 8700 offers pressure levels of no more than 1500 psi and flow rates topping at 3 GPM. As a result, the machines are ideal for use on fragile surfaces.

The unit is powered by a 3 HP NEMA motor with a direct drive pump guaranteed for up to 5 years of use. For enhanced cleaning, the cold water pressure washer supports chemical infusion/injection with a low pressure system.

The cold water pressure washer is mounted on commercial-grade wheels and is sold with 25 feet of hydraulic/high pressure hose. (Other hose sizes are available as options.) The machine also comes with four nozzles, including a blast option. The bundled 3-foot trigger wand includes the company's Quick-On-Off disconnect capability.

Though the unit is designated as a cold water pressure washer, the system supports an optional hot water feature for temperatures approaching 180°F. The commercial pressure washer comes in a housing that measures 19 inches by 31 inches at the base and 26 inches in height.
