Descaling refractory and build-ups in a preheater tower is a time-consuming and risky process. Global manufacturer, LafargeHolcim, now leads the way, through its UK factory in Cauldon.

“The safety aspect is another important factor for the company, and the robots have allowed for the creation of a safer work environment for the operators, who now stand protected. Due to the remote control, the robot operators can stand upright on a platform behind blast-resistant glass, which improves safety significantly and provides a more pleasant work environment as they no longer have to sit on a vibrating machine.”

Brokk UK have recently achieved a certificate of acceptance from Network Rail, allowing Brokk robots to be used on Network Rail’s infrastructure. We hope that this certificate of acceptance will create new opportunities for us, as well as for our existing customers, enabling new business prospects, says Nathan.

With a telescopic boom for outstanding reach and remote-controlled maneuvering, the Brokk Descaler revolutionizes the working method for tearing out overhead material in preheater towers.
