Innovative Pig Barn Cleaning Robot 'ProCleaner X150' Launched - World's First Dual Cleaning Arm with Obstacle Detection

Kyodo International Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Kanagawa Prefecture, hereinafter "the company"), a leading importer and distributor of swine farming and livestock dairy equipment, has begun distribution of the 'ProCleaner X150,' the latest model in its ProCleaner series of pig barn cleaning robots.

Developed based on over 10 years of experience in agricultural automation and proven performance from over 2,000 units in operation, the X150 is a next-generation cleaning robot that combines proven reliability with cutting-edge innovation. The cleaning program can be flexibly customized to suit the unique environment of each farm.

X150's Key Feature: Dual Cleaning Arm with Obstacle Detection (Patent Pending)

The X150 is the world's first cleaning robot equipped with a dual cleaning arm that automatically retracts upon detecting obstacles (patent pending). Thanks to its innovative pivot mechanism, it can move smoothly within complex pig barn layouts without interrupting the cleaning cycle.

Main Features and Benefits

High-Speed Cleaning with Dual Cleaning Arms

When paired with a high-capacity pump, the dual-arm system achieves up to twice the cleaning speed compared to single-arm models, delivering high efficiency in farms requiring rapid turnover.

Automatic Obstacle Avoidance via Multi-Sensor System

Four integrated sensors cover the front and rear of each arm, measuring distances within the arm's operational plane. When an obstacle is detected, the arms can retract individually while continuing the cleaning process, maintaining high operational efficiency even during unattended operation. *Note: Objects smaller than 25mm or materials with low reflectivity may not be detected. Reflective plates are recommended as needed.

Lightweight Design × Extended Battery Operation

Weighing only 280kg, the unit features the latest battery technology, enabling up to 20 hours of continuous operation. This allows deployment in large pig barns without the need for power cords.

High Maintenance Accessibility

Designed with stainless steel chassis and couplings, the robot balances durability with ease of maintenance, ensuring reliable performance from daily use to long-term operation.

Standard Lifting Hook

Equipped with a lifting hook for easy transportation and installation using forklifts or cranes.

Side Wheels

Capable of traversing rod-shaped obstacles up to 1–2cm in height, adapting to minor uneven surfaces commonly found in pig barns.

Benefits of Implementation

By combining high-speed cleaning via dual arms with uninterrupted autonomous operation through obstacle avoidance, the X150 significantly reduces cleaning time and stabilizes operations. This allows staff to focus on core tasks such as animal care, while ensuring sufficient time for post-cleaning disinfection and drying, contributing to disease prevention and improved working conditions.
