Key features
What DPOL water cleaning robots do in your harbor basin
Position the collector where floating waste gathers and plan access for regular net emptying and cleaning.
Collects debris and algae
Plastic waste, packaging, vegetation, algae and other floating debris are collected directly from the water surface before they spread through the basin.
Hydrocarbon collection
DPOL Classic and DPOL HD can be used for surface hydrocarbon pollution with the appropriate absorbent booms, skirts or spaghetti bags.
Positioned for surface collection
DPOL is placed where floating waste accumulates, typically beside a pier. The positioning, securing and control arrangement are agreed for the selected model.
Low maintenance
Maintenance is mainly limited to emptying the net and periodic cleaning of the unit. Interchangeable nets from 75 L to 800 L are available.
Fresh and salt water applications
DPOL is used for surface collection in marinas, ports, shipyards and inland waters. Model selection follows the waste load and operating conditions.
Lifting options
A DPOL Lifter is available for Classic and HD, with a crane option across the range. Handling and deployment are planned around the selected model and site access.
Power connection planning
The power connection is confirmed for the selected model and collection location. Submersible-rated extension cables of 10 m and 20 m are available as accessories.
Applications
Where DPOL water cleaning robots are used

How it works
How a DPOL water cleaning robot works
Position the unit, connect it as specified, and collect floating debris in the net.
DPOL is a low profile floating collector with an onboard pump and collection system. It is typically positioned near the pier where wind and current concentrate floating waste. Classic uses a single pump, HD a high-capacity pump and Max a three-pump system.
The pump draws floating material into a net that staff remove and empty. Interchangeable nets and lifting accessories support handling. Classic and HD also accept the documented hydrocarbon collection accessories.

Product guide
Choosing a floating waste collector for a marina or port
Plan DPOL around where surface waste gathers, the material to collect, net emptying access and the operating arrangement.
Where a surface waste collector is useful
DPOL serves marinas, ports, shipyards and other waterfront sites with recurring floating litter, vegetation or algae. It collects material at the water surface through a pump and net.
Start by identifying where waste accumulates and how it varies with wind, current and site activity. This helps determine the collection location, model and routine for emptying the net.
Comparing Classic, HD and Max
DPOL Classic has a pump flow of 26 m³/h and HD 32 m³/h. Both have a 600 mm collection width and nets from 75 L to 300 L. Max uses a three-pump system with 78 m³/h flow, a 1,200 mm collection width and an 800 L net.
Choose by the type and quantity of floating material, collection opening, net capacity and handling requirements. Pump flow describes water moved through the system; it is not a waste removal rate. Classic and HD support the listed hydrocarbon accessories, while Max does not.
Installation and operator training
Plan a collection position where floating waste gathers and where staff can reach the net for emptying. The securing, power and control arrangement is confirmed for the selected unit and site.
Vikingegaarden provides on-site installation support and operator training for up to 10 participants. Lifting accessories include the DPOL Lifter for Classic and HD and a crane option across the range.
Collection nets and routine maintenance
The onboard pump moves surface water and floating debris into the collection net. Staff empty the net and clean the unit as part of the operating routine. Interchangeable nets are available for Classic and HD, with an 800 L net for Max.
For surface hydrocarbons, Classic and HD accept the documented absorbent booms, skirts and spaghetti bags. Select the accessories for the material to be collected and include their inspection and replacement in the operating plan.
Waste collection across the waterfront
DPOL is made in France and distributed and supported in the Nordics by Vikingegaarden. Surface collection can be planned alongside the harbor infrastructure and daily waste handling routine.
For litter collection on the walkway, Marinella NEO LightBin combines a waste compartment and LED light. It serves a different collection point from DPOL in the water.

Frequently asked questions about DPOL water cleaning robots
What does DPOL collect?
DPOL collects floating litter, vegetation, algae and other surface debris through an onboard pump and net. Classic and HD also support the documented absorbent accessories for surface hydrocarbons.
How is DPOL positioned and operated?
The unit is positioned where floating waste accumulates, typically beside a pier. The securing, power and control arrangement is confirmed for the selected model. Operator training covers use, net emptying and routine cleaning.
How should I compare DPOL Classic, HD and Max?
Compare collection width, pump flow, net capacity and handling requirements against the waste found in your basin. Classic and HD use nets from 75 L to 300 L and support hydrocarbon accessories. Max has a wider collection opening and an 800 L net, with different handling requirements.
Does DPOL collect hydrocarbons?
Yes. DPOL Classic and DPOL HD can be used for surface hydrocarbon pollution with compatible absorbent equipment: an absorbent boom with skirt, a reusable skirted boom or absorbent spaghetti bags. DPOL Max does not take these accessories.
Is DPOL difficult to maintain?
No. Regular maintenance mainly involves emptying the collection net and cleaning the device periodically. Interchangeable nets are available, and a DPOL Lifter or crane makes handling easy.
Where can DPOL be installed?
DPOL can be installed in marinas, port basins, inland waterways, industrial areas, shipyards, recreational water areas and waterfront locations where floating waste tends to accumulate. It is suitable for fresh and salt water.
What is needed to plan the DPOL power connection?
Provide the proposed collection location and available electrical supply. Vikingegaarden confirms the connection for the selected model. Submersible-rated extension cables of 10 m and 20 m are available as accessories.
Can DPOL be used in salt water?
DPOL is intended for surface collection in fresh and salt water, including marinas, port basins and shipyards. The model and operating arrangement are selected for the conditions at the site.
