Why Choose Eddyfi Technologies?

Inaccessible ductworkEddyfi Technologies is globally recognized for its advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions, but our expertise goes beyond that. We specialize in creating custom robotics for remote applications, designed to meet the specific demands of challenging environments. Our solutions are built on a modular approach, allowing us to tailor proven components to the unique needs of each project. This approach ensures that while each solution is customized to your environment’s challenges, it also benefits from the reliability and robustness of our standard, field-tested modules. Learn more by attending this on-demand expert-led webinar on our multi-mission modular approach. Whether you need to navigate narrow, twisting ducts in a commercial HVAC system or require a solution for remote cleaning tasks, our robotic technology is built to adapt and excel.

Custom Robotics for Complex Challenges

Maintaining HVAC systems, especially those with complex ductwork, requires more than a one-size-fits-all solution. Our custom robotic crawler, designed with adaptability in mind, can remotely clean both rectangular and circular ducts that are typically hard to access. It handles a wide range of duct sizes, from 200 to 350 millimeters (8 to 14 inches) in diameter and up to 30 meters (100 feet) in length, using proprietary software and an Xbox controller for precise control and validation. Onboard inspection cameras enable smooth navigation and post-cleaning validation to ensure that cleanliness standards are met.

Innovative Cleaning with Dry Ice Blasting

One of the key features of this VersaTrax™ OnSpec custom solution is the integration of dry ice blasting technology. Initially developed by the U.S. Air Force for delicate surface cleaning, this method is ideal for environments where traditional cleaning processes might cause damage. The system delivers high-pressure dry ice through a rotating nozzle that operates at variable speeds, effectively removing contaminants without leaving behind water or abrasive residues. This makes it perfect for use in sensitive duct systems where safety is paramount.

Proven Success Across Global Markets

Originally designed to address remote ductwork cleaning operations in Singapore’s kitchen food courts and shopping malls, as well as air conditioning systems in highly trafficked commercial spaces, this custom robotic solution has attracted the attention of leading property and high-rise building owners worldwide. These stakeholders see the system as an effective response to 'sick building syndrome' and a means of mitigating the risks of airborne diseases such as Legionnaires. The difficulty of cleaning aircon duct systems has previously led to insufficient maintenance intervals, but this easy-to-deploy robotic system offers a welcome solution that supports the health and well-being of building occupants.
