Robotic tank cleaning and inspection
technology that maximizes safety, minimizes
disruption, and eliminates risks
Minimal Disruption
Our robotic solutions keep your tanks in full service during cleaning, allowing operations to continue without costly interruptions. With the capability to clean up to 1,000 square feet per hour, we deliver faster results and eliminate unnecessary downtime. Because our robots work independently and require minimal oversight, your team stays focused on daily operations without added strain. We back every project with rapid parts support and expert training, giving you confidence that your systems will keep performing without delays. From start to finish, every aspect of our process is built to minimize disruption and maximize reliability for your team.
Efficiency
Our robotic systems are built for continuous operation, delivering faster and more consistent tank cleaning and inspection without the need for breaks or shift changes. Unlike traditional methods that rely heavily on manpower and downtime, Xtract Robotics robots maintain steady progress from start to finish. This constant performance leads to shorter project timelines, reduced labor costs, and less disruption to your operations. With Xtract Robotics, efficiency is not just a goal, it is a guarantee built into every project.
A New Era of Water Tank Maintenance
At Xtract Robotics, safety is at the core of everything we do. Our robots are engineered to operate in hazardous, confined spaces, removing the need for human entry and dramatically reducing risk. By using robotic technology, we minimize the number of personnel required on-site, typically needing only two to three operators compared to the eight to ten needed with traditional methods. This not only reduces liability but also creates a safer, more controlled work environment.
All Xtract Robotics equipment is certified for potable water use and is carefully sanitized before each entry and between every project. By keeping the robot inside the tank until the job is fully complete, we protect water quality and prevent human contamination throughout the process. Our work meets American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards, providing clients with a cleaner, safer, and fully compliant solution they can trust.
Cost Savings
Xtract Robotics’ tank cleaning solutions provide significant cost savings across multiple areas. By removing the need for confined space entry, our robots reduce the expenses associated with rescue teams, life-support equipment, and high insurance premiums. With no shutdowns necessary, your tank stays in service, preventing costly downtime and allowing operations to continue without disruption. Additionally, our closed-loop system minimizes water and chemical waste by efficiently removing sediment while keeping resources within your system. Not only does this lower operational costs, but it also reduces environmental impact. By eliminating human workers from hazardous environments, robotic cleaning reduces risks and liability, further contributing to both safety and cost savings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Robotics is the Better Choice Over Manual Cleaning
Robotic tank cleaning offers several key advantages over traditional methods. Unlike conventional techniques that require human workers to enter confined spaces, robotic systems operate remotely, reducing the need for personal entry into dangerous environments. This significantly lowers the risk of accidents, eliminates the need for costly rescue teams, and minimizes personnel on-site. Furthermore, robots can work continuously, providing faster cleaning with less downtime, which is especially valuable in facilities where time-sensitive operations are critical.
In addition to safety and speed, robotic cleaning is more precise and consistent. Robots can clean large surface areas more effectively and consistently than manual cleaning, reducing the chances of missed spots or incomplete cleaning. With less water used and fewer chemicals required, robotic cleaning systems are also more environmentally friendly, providing a cleaner solution that benefits both your operations and the environment. Ultimately, robotic tank cleaning is a smarter, more efficient option that saves both time and money.
How can robotic tank cleaning improve operational efficiency in large facilities?
Robotic tank cleaning greatly enhances operational efficiency, particularly in large-scale facilities. Robots can clean vast areas much faster than human workers, without needing breaks or rest periods. This continuous operation not only speeds up the cleaning process but also reduces downtime, which is especially beneficial for industries that rely on round-the-clock operations. By using robots, your team can focus on more critical tasks, improving overall productivity and ensuring that operations run smoothly without unnecessary interruptions.
Another key efficiency boost comes from the reduction in labor required. Traditional tank cleaning often involves multiple personnel and heavy coordination, but robotic cleaning requires fewer staff members, which cuts down on staffing costs and safety risks. With quick setup and fewer disruptions to normal operations, robots can be deployed swiftly, helping to maintain productivity and prevent delays. In the long run, robotic tank cleaning solutions are an investment that delivers a faster, more cost-effective way to maintain your tanks without compromising on safety or quality.
How do robotic tank cleaning solutions reduce environmental impact?
Robotic tank cleaning solutions are designed with sustainability in mind. One of the key ways they reduce environmental impact is by using significantly less water compared to traditional cleaning methods. Robots are able to target specific areas that need cleaning, ensuring water is only used where it’s necessary. This efficiency prevents water wastage, making the cleaning process more eco-friendly. Additionally, the reduced need for harsh chemicals or cleaning agents also contributes to a cleaner environment by minimizing potential chemical runoff.
Beyond water and chemical savings, robotic cleaning systems help reduce energy consumption. With fewer personnel on-site and no need for large equipment or heavy machinery, robots rely on more energy-efficient processes. The precision and automation of robotic cleaning ensure that only the required work is done, which minimizes waste and reduces the overall carbon footprint. This makes robotic cleaning a sustainable choice for industries looking to maintain high standards while also protecting the environment.
