The Powerhouse of the Process Industry

Earlier this year, Brokk introduced the new Brokk 900 Rotoboom, the largest and most powerful demolition robot on the market. The new model features a high-precision rotating boom system for increased flexibility and accuracy in process applications. The 900R is also the largest Brokk robot to feature SmartPower technology, an intelligent power management system that ensures improved performance and uptime even in the hottest environments.

What makes the 900R ideal for processing maintenance applications is the rotoboom. This innovative design takes Brokk’s three-part arm and adds an additional 360-degree rotation in the final segment for unbeatable power and dexterity, even in confined spaces. The 900R can reach up to 32.8 feet (10 meters) vertically and 31.2 feet (9.5 meters) horizontally. Despite its size, the 900R provides smooth movements for maximum precision during refractory removal or spout cleaning operations. Equipped with the BHB 455 hydraulic breaker, Brokk’s unique heat and impact-protected process tool, the Brokk 900R is perfect for working with hot ladles, converters, runners and furnaces. Additional attachments are available to expand the 900R’s efficiency and versatility.

The 900R is available with an electric or diesel engine. Electric models benefit from Brokk’s innovative SmartPower technology. SmartPower senses when the power supply is poor or faulty and then compensates before damage to components occurs. This allows for optimized, more dependable runtime even when using the machine with generators or unreliable power sources. Diesel engines meet U.S. Tier 4 final and EU Stage V emission standards.

Additional high-heat options are also available to maximize runtime even in red-hot process applications. Options include:

• Cylinder protection
• Steel tracks
• Forced draft cooling for hydraulic and electrical systems

An upgraded forced draft cooling option is also available for the BHB 455 breaker. Combined with remote operation, heat-resistant features allow facilities to begin maintenance operations, such as ladle cleaning and refractory removal, while temperatures are still too high for workers to approach, increasing productivity and safety for these vital tasks.
