RXR-MC80BD

Petrochemical sites with explosion hazards are the intended workplace of the RXR-MC80BD, an explosion-proof firefighting and reconnaissance robot from CITIC HIC Kaicheng Intelligence Equipment in Tangshan, Hebei, a company founded in 1991 within the CITIC Heavy Industries group.

The RXR prefix is a Chinese standard designation for firefighting robots, and this maker's RXR line spans roughly 40 to 200 L/s. The MC80BD carries a monitor rated 80 L/s, equal to 4,800 l/min, and according to dealer listings drags three charged DN80 hoses over more than 100 m. It runs on a lithium battery (3 kW version) on tracks under radio control, with cameras and gas sensors for reconnaissance in hazardous atmospheres.

The documentation is thin: the manufacturer's brochure returned a server error on 17 October 2026; a catalogue table next to the MC80BD shows 4,000 kg, 1,000 m radio range and 30-degree climbing, but the attribution to this exact model is unclear and those figures are left out here. Russia's emergency ministry tested a CITIC firefighting robot in exercises in 2024. Pricing is on request.

Against the Firefighting Robot System at 4,000 l/min, the Chinese robot moves slightly more water but drives under manual control rather than autonomously, and buyers outside China would need to confirm its explosion-protection rating against their own standards.
