About
About C10
C10 is a multirotor cleaning aircraft connected by hose to a ground-based high-pressure water system. The drone positions a spray head close to facades, roofs and industrial structures while radar sensing maintains distance from the working surface. Available pumps provide up to 200 bar of pressure and water flow of 11.6 or 15 litres per minute.
Operators can fly the aircraft manually or use assisted and automated modes for repeated vertical and horizontal passes. RTK positioning improves route consistency, and different nozzle arrangements adapt the spray to individual surfaces and contamination. ABZ Innovation supplies the drone, pressure unit, hose system, controls, training and operational support for professional cleaning contractors.
