xAQ · LAND-BASED AQUACULTURE

Robotic tank cleaning for land-based aquaculture

xAQ is developed for cleaning drained tanks in hatcheries and land-based aquaculture facilities. The robot is remotely operated from outside the tank, making the cleaning process more systematic while reducing the need for manual work inside the tank.

THE CHALLENGE TODAY

Manual tank cleaning takes time, people and planning

Large tanks in land-based aquaculture need to be cleaned thoroughly between production cycles. Today, this often involves high-pressure washing, manual work and demanding access — while the facility is out of operation.
01

Demanding working conditions

High-pressure washing, slippery surfaces and difficult access place significant demands on personnel.
02

Downtime needs to be managed

Cleaning between production cycles needs to be carried out efficiently and predictably to get tanks back into operation.
03

A highly manual process

Traditional tank cleaning requires people inside the tank and a considerable amount of physical work across large surfaces.
xAQ-1

xAQ moves the work out of the tank

The robot attaches to the tank wall using vacuum technology and is operated remotely from outside the tank. This enables systematic cleaning of large surfaces while reducing the need for manual work inside the tank.

01

Reduces exposure to demanding work

By reducing the need for manual high-pressure cleaning inside large tanks, xAQ limits personnel exposure to demanding working conditions.
02

Frees up personnel

xAQ can be operated by one person, freeing up capacity for other tasks at the facility.
03

More predictable cleaning

Systematic cleaning makes the job easier to plan between production cycles.
04

Built for large tank surfaces

xAQ is developed for large tank surfaces and can clean up to 3,000 m²/h under suitable operating conditions.
EXPERIENCE FROM THE FIELD

Hear from the fish farmers

“We depend on things going according to plan. EasyX makes tank cleaning faster, which makes production easier to plan.”

Paul Henning Haugom
Operations Manager, Haukå

"Vi har tatt over driften av robotene selv, og det har fungert veldig bra. Vi kan tilpasse vasken etter produksjonen og gjennomføre den med egne folk, samtidig som vi reduserer den fysiske belastningen ved karvask."

Elise Olafsen
Drift og produksjon

“With our large pool dimensions, it is demanding to find solutions for flushing that take care of both HSE, efficiency and quality. Andfjord used the robot from EasyX during the washing down of the pilot pool K0, with good results. The robot reduces the need for manual work at height, efficiently cleans large surfaces and ensures good quality in both process and final result. We look forward to further cooperation with EasyX.”
