Applications

These are the applications of demolition robots, where they are truly useful in facilitating work.

Small spaces, high temperatures, risk of collapse, etc.

Demolition robot applications

 


Robots in Civil Demolition

The work done with Brokk robots is clearly superior in productivity, safety and comfort.

They are efficient, quiet and clean both indoors and outdoors.

  • Chops different kinds of concrete.
  • Demolition of materials such as plastics, bricks, tiles and roof tiles.
  • Minimal noise pollution.
  • Low vibration level.
  • The emission of toxic gases is practically zero (in electric models).

Robots in Mining

Work in the mining sector has always been characterized by its extreme hardship.

They are resistant to adverse conditions and make work easier.

  • Modified models can be installed on trucks and special transports
  • They move with precision in tight spaces.
  • They ensure the safety of the environment and the operators thanks to remote control.
  • The articulated arms allow them to reach any corner.
  • They reduce the number of necessary trips.
  • It allows to achieve the same sensitivity provided by hand tools.

Robots in Tunnels and Galleries

The Brokk 70 robot can access galleries with an internal diameter of even 1 m

One of the most popular sectors for its use is underground works and small galleries.

  • Auxiliary tool in tunneling.
  • They are an ideal team for creating interconnecting galleries or pipelines.
  • For technical demolition work inside subway or train tunnels in major cities around the world.

Robots in Steel Mills and Foundries

Installation and maintenance of refractories

Brokk demolition robots can be used in a multitude of jobs within the process industry.

High power per unit weight, advanced arm design and high precision.

  • Increased security to control the robot's activity from safe positions.
  • Cleaning of buckets and dippers.
  • Demolition of slag or refractory.
  • Handling debris.
  • Work in high temperatures.
  • Breakage of castings.
  • Demolition of structures.

Robots in Cement Plants

Demolition robot applications: cement plants

Working remotely is vital in these jobs where extreme safety measures must be taken.

Operator protection when the crust is still at high temperature and there is a risk of collapse.

The risk of chipping the top of the oven is much lower.

  • Demolition of slag and refractories in furnaces and coolers.
  • Impressive power per unit of weight.
  • Very high precision of movements.
  • They are very precise to reduce damage to the oven cover.
  • They increase the useful life of the oven.
  • In this sector, downtime involves many costs.
  • Maintenance times should be minimal.

Robots in the nuclear industry

Demolition robot applications: nuclear

They can operate with different types of heavy equipment and are operated by remote control.

The models used in the nuclear industry have special characteristics.

  • Demolition, maintenance and handling tasks.
  • The operator can operate the machine from a protective panel or via a television monitor.
  • The work can be done with the same precision as it would be in the room itself.
  • There are fixed models of different sizes and characteristics.
