Robotic UGVs for Nuclear Decontamination and Smoke Extraction
NorthValley Robotics have excellent solution for robotic nuclear decontamination and smoke extraction and we can offer customized development based on clients’ ideas and requirements.
Nuclear Decontamination and Smoke Extraction Robot
The nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) decontamination and smoke extraction robot is an intelligent equipment specifically, which is designed for NBC decontamination scenarios. Built on a rugged, all-terrain tracked chassis from NorthValley Robotics, it is equipped with a high-power 7.5 KW axial flow fan system, featuring pitch adjustment and modular quick-detach functionality.
Integrated with an intelligent control system and safety bumpers, it enables highly efficient smoke evacuation and decontamination operations, in complex nuclear-contaminated environments. All factors have been taken into consideration to ensure the absolute safety of personnel.
