General Description
The CirCleaner is an active, sustainable litter removal system running on solar energy. In order to reach efficient performance, it can be operated remotely using smart connectivity. The removal technique consists of a centrally rotating assembly on which a series of blades are mounted.
These permeable blades collect pollutants (litter and macro-plastics) each time the blade goes underwater. Litter and macro-plastics are pushed towards the blades by water flow and wind. The slowly rotating blades collect the trash and pitch it in the container.
