LKAB Malmberget

A Brokk 800 replaced traditional blasting with consistent mechanical demolition, removing safety risks while keeping the crushing line moving.

At the Malmberget iron ore mine in Sweden, LKAB had to break down oversized boulders before they reached the crushers, 1,250 metres below ground, in a confined environment.

Traditional blasting methods were time-consuming, costly, and posed safety risks. A Brokk 800 replaced explosives with mechanical demolition, allowing operators to manage oversize material more consistently and keep the crushing process moving.
