PortBin Robot
An autonomous floating litter collector, developed together with the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN).

Products
PortBin collects floating litter in ports, captures what drifts with the current in rivers and vacuums up the smallest debris along shorelines.
PortBin × Ægir
PortBin is developed by SpillTech in Norway and sold through partners in more than 20 countries. We sell, install and service PortBin in Sweden.
01Ports and marinas

Specifications
PortBin Tide draws floating litter through the unit with a suction flow and traps it in a detachable bin, without harming aquatic life. It floats on its own, moves with the tide and needs no fixed mounting. Moor it, connect power and start it up.
A 30-litre bin that anyone can empty by hand. Lighter and lower than earlier versions.
The largest unit, for sites with a lot of floating litter. Emptied with mechanical equipment.



02Rivers

Specifications
TrashTrawl builds on the principles of oil spill booms. High-speed booms guide litter into a collector with a 1000-litre mesh sack. It is powered by the current, needs no electricity, does not interfere with boat traffic and is adapted to the river where it is installed. In the Akerselva river in Oslo it collects more than 54,000 items a year.
Modular booms that adapt to the river’s width and handle large changes in water level. The only maintenance is emptying the net with a small crane.

03Shorelines and urban areas

Specifications
ShoreCleaner vacuums up plastic pellets, styrofoam, cigarette butts and other small litter from shorelines and hard-to-reach places. High airflow and an efficient cyclone with no filter mean it handles wet and dirty material. It can be carried over rough terrain and fits in small work boats.
For nurdles, plastic pellets, crumbled styrofoam, wax, oily bark, bio carriers and dissolving rope.
An adapted version that stops rubber granules from artificial turf from reaching nature. Also picks up cigarette butts, snus pouches, syringes and broken glass in urban areas.
Sifts the collected material into three fractions, from 1.5 to 5 mm. Weighs just 30 kg.
