Request a Brokk demo to see how remote-controlled demolition equipment can enhance your foundry’s productivity and increase your bottom line. Since the equipment is stronger, it only requires follow-up work to be done with a rivet buster - which saves money on the bits required. Plus, the job takes just two hours to complete - a 50 percent labor reduction.

Prior to using the robotic equipment, this task took four laborers operating rivet busters four hours to complete. The company purchased a 1-ton Brokk 100 to scale the refractory lining from its runners. Robotic equipment offers six times the efficiency of handheld tools, giving the operator the power to finish the job in less time while requiring less labor - increasing overall profits.
