DEVELOPMENT OF REMOTE SYSTEM TO REMOVE AND COLLECT DRY SPRAYED ASBESTOS

Abstract

We developed a remote system to remove and collect dry sprayed asbestos that consisted of a remote control robot that effectively and safely removed asbestos using jets of water and mixed air. The asbestos was collected in bags that, when filled, were quickly removed by the robot. Laboratory tests confirmed that the system removed and collected asbestos with a high level of safety and efficiency. In addition, we introduced this system into the asbestos removal construction spot for the first time and demonstrated it and examined it.
