Don\u2019t sweat the heat!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Picture this: The sun is scorching in Southeast Asia where G Leonard Ltd is on-site to begin the descaling process of Republic Cement Group\u2019s refractory. The hot and sticky air pales in comparison to the temperature inside the preheater tower, which traditionally requires workers to clean out the coating inside using handheld tools. An arduous, laborious task that is both incredibly tricky and time-consuming.<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>With over 40 years of experience, Brokk robots provide fast, efficient and above all, safe solutions to customers wanting to reduce shutdown time and increase productivity. The Brokk Descaler being one of several robots used to perform such demolition solutions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a remote-controlled Brokk robot to clean out rotary kilns in cement plants has been common practice for decades, but using a Brokk Descaler offers a unique solution as the robot can perform the work vertically using a revolutionary telescopic boom that reaches new heights. <\/span>The Brokk Descaler comes in a single and a twin version that allows for descaling in<\/span> various parts of the preheater tower such as cyclones, calciners and goosenecks<\/span> measuring up to 9.5 meters in diameter. G Leonard Ltd chose the twin version to remove the <\/span>built-up coating accumulated during the production process.\u202f\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The nitty-gritty<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

It might not come as a surprise that no two<\/span> preheater towers look the same <\/span>since build-up often appears in different areas of these <\/span>vessels<\/span>, making a flexible demolition solution essential. That\u2019s where the Brokk Descaler comes into play. Carefully designed to be used in multiple applications within the cement industry, the robot can be easily moved to any location in the preheater tower and can be transported in lifts with just as much ease.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Installation of the Brokk Descaler can be completed in approximately three hours and once installed, the operator can safely view the operation from outside the cyclone through hatches, allowing for safe and controlled demolition. All subsequent installations will take between 1-2 hours and no additional manpower or resources are needed, unlike conventional descaling methods which typically require production to be halted. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
