Modular Magnetic Crawler
Modular Magnetic Crawler
MagTrack is a modular system that is built around an universal carrier. The crawlers are designed to be used on flat and slightly curved steel surfaces. Depending on the application, the carrier can easily be fitted with a full range of modular tools, based on either water jetting or sandblasting. All the water jetting tools work with high pressure jets up to 3000 bar.
MagTrack Mini is a lightweight and compact 2-wheel drive MagTrack. It has a specific design which isn’t modular. It carries a fixed blast can which can provide high pressure up to 3000 bar. By replacing the flat vacuum seal with a curved seal on the blast can, the MagTrack Mini can also be used to clean pipes in radial direction.
The DERC MagTrack robots are magnetic crawlers, electrically driven, suitable for multi purpose applications:
• Surface preparation
• Oil storage tank cleaning
• Industrial cleaning and washing
• Cargo hold cleaning
• Abrasive blasting
• Inspection
• Waterjet cutting

MagTrack - Carrier
Modular crawler
The base of the MagTrack is a remote controlled, magnetic, 4 wheel drive carrier crawler) which can be used for applications on flat or slightly curved steel surfaces. This universal carrier is the base for many different solutions. It can be used with a range of MagTrack tools. But it is also possible to set it up with a custom designed tool.
Operation is safe and easy and can be done by one man. The carrier can be set up with your desired tool in 30 minutes. The remote control ensures that the operator stays on the ground and out of the line of fire! No more need for scaffolding or cherry pickers.
The MagTrack Carrier is delivered with a remote controller, main control unit, antenna cable, magnetic antenna foot and transport plate
Features
• Compact design
• Four 48V electric drives
• Wheels with profile for maximum grip
• Magnets back and front, height adjustable
• ATEX zone 2 certified
• Operating speed: 0-6 m/min
• Dimensions: 720x510x360 mm (fits through 24” manhole)
• Weight: 80 kg
MagTrack - Blast Can
Closed Waterblasting
The MagTrack Blast Can (vacuum dome) is installed in front of the 4-wheel carrier and is used for “closed” waterblasting. The blast can is connected to a vacuum unit, so that both water and debris is collected without any leakage.
This makes the blast can especially useful for industrial cleaning and preparation jobs, when there is an absolute need to leave a clean and dry surface. For example the cleaning of (oil) storage tanks or the removal of old paint from ship hulls.
Since the blast can is installed in front of the carrier, it also leaves a clean driving path for the carrier. This ensures the carrier won’t slip and stays even firmer attached to the steel surface.
Features
• Up to 120m2 per hour cleaning capacity
• Replaceable wear seal, under flexible bellow
• Adjustable vent valve for optimal extraction
• Rotating manifold suitable for 20 inserts model type P/model 965
• Atex zone 2 certified
• Optional LED lights

MagTrack - Swing Arm
Open Waterblasting
The Magtrack Swing Arm is used for open waterblasting, cleaning or sandblasting. It can easily be installed by one man on our 4-wheel magnetic carrier in under 30 minutes.
The automatic drive mode can be controlled by adjusting the swing speed, drive speed and step size. Standard the swing arm is equipped with a swivel and a rotating manifold with pressure up to 3000 Bar. Other options are a fixed washing manifold or a holder for sandblasting.
It is the perfect for industrial cleaning or surface preparation jobs, when it isn’t necessary to collect dirt or debris. A cost effective alternative to closed waterblasting, because there is no need for a vacuum pump.
Features
• Up to 140 m2 per hour cleaning capacity
• No need for vacuum supply
• Rotating manifold suitable for 8 inserts model type P/model 965
• Max 3000 bar @ 30 l/min
• Cleaning path: 1500 mm
• Dimensions: 925x217x750 mm (fits through 24” manhole)
• Weight: 20 kg
MagTrack - Tilt Swing Arm
Open Waterblasting
The MagTrack Tilt Swing Arm is used for open water blasting, cleaning or sandblasting. It can easily be installed by one man on our 4-wheel carrier in under 30
minutes.
The distance from the cleaning head to the surface can be adjusted with the actuator while driving. This is perfect for easy cleaning of (oil) storage tank wind girders or other similar constructions.
The automatic drive mode can be controlled by adjusting the swing speed, drive speed and step size. Standard the swing arm is equipped with a swivel and a rotating manifold with pressure up to 3000 Bar. Other options are a fixed washing manifold or a holder for sandblasting.
Features
• Tilt function by electric actuator
• Up to 140 m2 per hour cleaning capacity
• No need for vacuum supply
• Rotating manifold suitable for 8 inserts model type P/model 965
• Max 3000 bar @ 30 l/min
• Cleaning path: 1500 mm
• Dimensions: 925x510x750 mm (fits through 24” manhole)

MagTrack - Sandblaster Swing Arm
Open Sandblasting
The Magtrack Sandblaster Swing Arm is used for open sandblasting (abrasive blasting). It can easily be installed by one man on our 4-wheel magnetic carrier in under 30 minutes.
The automatic drive mode can be controlled by adjusting the swing speed, drive speed and step size. Suitable to operate with 1, 2 or 3 abrasive nozzles to meet your application and production rate. Easy to adjust in height, angle, and pitch to make a perfect overlap.
It is the perfect tool for surface preparation jobs, when it isn’t necessary to collect dirt or debris. After blasting the surface is completely dry and therefore ready to paint or coat instantly. Using the Sandblaster Swing Arm gives a rougher end
result than using a water jetting tool.
Features
• Up to 3 nozzles
• 2 joints for height and angle adjustment of nozzles
• Easy fix nozzle holders, nozzle pitch easy to adjust
• Cleaning path: 1500 mm
• Dimensions: 925x510x750 mm (depends on the adjustment of the nozzles)
• Weight: 20 kg
MagTrack - ReCycleBlaster
Closed Circuit Sandblasting
The MagTrack ReCycleBlaster is an add on tool which is installed in front of the 4-wheel carrier and is used for “closed-circuit” sandblasting, also called vacuum blasting. The RecycleBlaster uses a high-pressure stream of compressed air, which is mixed with the abrasive material at the nozzle’s exit point, to effectively remove contaminants, coatings, rust, and other undesired materials from the surface.
With vacuum this system collects and recovers the used abrasive, as well as any debris or contaminants from the surface. The used abrasive material and removed contaminants are collected and transported through a recovery system, which separates the abrasive material from the contaminants and dust. The cleaned and separated abrasive material is then reintroduced into the blasting process.
This makes the ReCycleBlaster especially useful for industrial cleaning and preparation jobs where surface roughness needs to be established without preventing the release of harmful airborne particles into the atmosphere. By doing so, it reduces environmental impact and ensures a safer and cleaner work environment, and at the same time reducing the amount of abrasive through recycling. Making it also a cost-effective solution.
Features
• 3 nozzles
• Cleaning path: 2000 mm
• Dimensions: 2000x300x300 mm
• Weight: 35 kg
MagTrack - Mini
Closed Waterblasting
The MagTrack Mini is a lightweight 2-wheel drive MagTrack. The compact crawler carries a fixed blast can (vacuum dome) which is used for closed waterblasting. The blast can is connected to a vacuum unit so that both water and debris is collected without any leakage.
This makes the blast can especially useful for industrial cleaning and preparation jobs, when there is an absolute need to leave a clean and dry surface. Furthermore, due to its lightweight and compact design, the MagTrack Mini is easy to
transport and can be used in narrow spaces. It is therefore perfectly suitable for offshore oil rig applications.
By replacing the flat vacuum seal with a curved seal, the MagTrack mini can also be used to clean pipes in radial direction.
