Cleaning Drones
The modular design of the cleaning drone allows it to be adapted to two different cleaning mounts. It features adjustable-angle and oscillating nozzles, with four different nozzle angle designs to meet diverse cleaning needs. It provides the industry with a convenient, efficient, and multi-scenario applicable aerial high-pressure cleaning solution, which can be widely used in high-altitude cleaning scenarios such as building exteriors, photovoltaic panels, and high towers.
Current Status & Pain Points of the Cleaning Industry
Currently, manual cleaning (using scaffolding and suspended platforms) remains the primary cleaning method. The industry is characterized by its small size, large number, and diverse operations, leading to a chaotic business model with varying quality. There is even sharing of “exterior wall cleaning qualifications” and “Spider-Man” techniques, presenting numerous challenges.
Operational Risks
Traditional manual high-altitude cleaning requires workers to use scaffolding or suspended platforms, posing extremely high safety risks, especially in adverse weather conditions.
Poor Operational Flexibility
Fixed-track equipment and some automated equipment can only cover specific areas, making it difficult to adapt to various complex building exterior structures, resulting in poor flexibility.
Low Cleaning Efficiency
Manual cleaning is slow, making it difficult to complete large-area exterior wall cleaning tasks in a short time, impacting overall work efficiency. Manual cleaning also suffers from high-risk work conditions for cleaners and insufficient cleaning intensity in the past.
High Costs
High-altitude cleaning requires significant manpower and time, leading to high costs. Automated cleaning equipment has high purchase and maintenance costs, and its installation and operation are complex, resulting in high overall costs.
Key Features of VastArrive Drones in Cleaning
High efficiency – 1000m²/h High-Pressure Rapid Cleaning, Supports Uninterrupted Water Supply
The water tank is located on the ground and can supply water continuously. Water filling is convenient and quick. High-pressure cleaning significantly reduces the time required for cleaning large-area exterior walls and improves work efficiency.
Intelligent – Intelligent Route Planning
Route planning is set for different cleaning scenarios to enable autonomous operation, improve the equipment’s applicability to multiple scenarios, and greatly enhance the working efficiency and flexibility of cleaning drones.
Modular Design – 2 Types of Nozzles, 4 Types of Spray Heads
It can be adapted to two different cleaning mounts, with adjustable angle and swing nozzles, and comes with 4 tool-free quick-install nozzles. You can switch freely from 4 different angles to achieve the best cleaning effect for different stains.
Safe and stable – Dual RTK Centimeter-level Positioning
No manual cleaning required, eliminating the risks of working at heights; dual RTK configuration provides real-time centimeter-level positioning data for precise cleaning of the task area.
Multi-scenario Operation
Convenient, efficient, and applicable to multiple scenarios, the aerial high-pressure cleaning solution is widely used in high-altitude cleaning scenarios such as building exteriors, irregularly shaped buildings, photovoltaic panels, high towers, wind turbines, and road signs.
Brief Comparison of Our Cleaning Drones
| Parameters | VA-D15R | VA-D50R | Core Impact |
| Location Scenarios | Facade/High-altitude operations for curtain walls, small and medium-sized photovoltaic systems, insulators, wind turbines, etc. | Large-scale ground-mounted PV, mountain/fishery-solar hybrid PV, industrial and commercial rooftop PV | Mismatched application scenarios can lead to low efficiency or high costs. |
