Applications for Brokk Demolition Robots

Process

See Brochure: Brokk in process
Processing industries where Brokk machines have been put to use are steelworks, aluminium, copper and other metal production processes, foundries, paper mills, etc. These industries offer ideal opportunities for Brokk machines to prove their versatility and adaptability.

As every minute of downtime in the process industry is extremely expensive, maintenance work must be carried out quickly. This is where Brokk is at its best  as the machine can get to work immediately even though heat, gas and dust may prevent people from entering the place. 1001630 kopia.jpg (42555 byte)
Among the most common areas of use is stripping linings in ladles, kilns, torpedo cars, tapping spouts, runners, etc. 1000146.jpg (35151 byte)
Removing linings is a very delicate task. It is important not to damage the bottom lining which is costly to repair or replace. Brokk robots can be operated with great accuracy. The remote control makes it possible for the operator to stand close to the working area of the breaker.  1001519.jpg (34310 byte)
Quite a bit of other demolition work must also be done on industrial sites, such as clearing slag and demolishing foundations.  1000432.jpg (58684 byte)
In their standard configuration, Brokk machines can cope with most environments. In extremely demanding and aggressive environments, they can be equipped with extra options such as heat protection.  1001548.jpg (40129 byte)
