Applications for Brokk Demolition Robots

See Brochure: Brokk in cement.
Cement industries worldwide use Brokk for stripping linings and cleaning kilns. Brokk does this so well that cleaning just one kiln is usually enough to earn back the initial investment. The machine can get to work much earlier, even before the kiln has completely cooled down. Brokk is electrically powered and can therefore operate inside the kiln without causing exhaust problems. 1000214.jpg (44117 byte)
Earlier methods of blasting away the surface were very difficult to control. When a Brokk robot is used,  the operator can stand away from the falling debris and the machine is so easy to operate and works with such precision that the underlying surfaces are left undamaged. 1000209.jpg (53821 byte)
Brokk can be used both for complete and for partial renovation of cement kilns. Its compact size enables it to pass through narrow kiln openings. Each hour of production standstill costs a lot of money at a cement plant, making short kiln downtime a necessity.  Putting a Brokk machine with skilled operator to work saves time which translates into increased productivity and output.  1000221.jpg (53622 byte)
And when new refractory bricking is to be put in place, you can use equipment supplied by  Brokk Bricking Solutions. They provide equipment such as a mechanised installation rig, laser instrumentation and transport system for the brick. You  can learn about their method and products in the article "Reducing downtime" and "Reducing refractory costs".
