The Venus 2.0 is an advanced cleaning robot built to improve hygiene in poultry houses by significantly reducing the need for manual labour

Designed with ease of use and durability in mind, it delivers reliable cleaning performance with minimal human intervention.

The system is capable of cleaning up to six tiers of cages, handling heights of up to four metres. It operates smoothly in aisles ranging from 0.6 to 1.4 metres wide, making it suitable for various poultry house layouts. The robot is operated through a tablet interface, which allows users to set, repeat, and monitor cleaning routines in real time with ease.

A key feature of the Venus 2.0 is its specially designed rotating nozzle system. As it moves vertically, it targets hard-to-reach spots that are often missed with manual cleaning. Lab tests have confirmed its superior cleaning results compared to traditional methods.

Thanks to its large-diameter wheels, the robot can clean long aisles—up to 100 metres—without manual repositioning. It’s equipped with a hose reel that works in sync with the robot, automatically adjusting as it moves to keep operations seamless and hands-free.

Powering the system is a high-pressure pump developed by Kohshin, operating at up to 25 MPa. The pump uses a crank mechanism for stable performance and minimal maintenance and can also be used manually if needed.

Venus 2.0 is engineered to handle both single- and double-sided cleaning, depending on the aisle setup. It uses 15 to 30 litres of water per minute, weighs around 220 kg for the main unit and 190 kg for the hose reel, and runs on single-phase power.
