Brokk, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of remote-controlled demolition robots, will introduce three new products and showcase some innovations at Bauma 2022 in Munich, Germany.
The new products include the Brokk Grapple Saw (BGS 15), the Brokk Surface Grinder (BSG 530) and My Brokk, an online portal that unites multiple services, including Brokk Connect, a document library and a Webshop, into a single resource. The manufacturer’s newest and most potent demolition robot, the Brokk 900 with the popular Atomized Water Mist dust suppression system, will also be on display.
“Bauma offers the ideal opportunity to showcase our innovative new products that offer increased versatility, productivity and safety for our customers,” said Martin Krupicka, CEO of Brokk Group. “Our equipment is revolutionizing the way contractors work, helping them address the worldwide challenges of labor shortages and safety concerns at a period where global infrastructure needs tremendous repair. Our solutions not only help crews maximize their efficiency with minimal labor, but they also enable better fleet management, machine uptime and enhanced safety in any application.”
Additionally, the Brokk Surface Grinder 530 (BSG 530) offers a remote-controlled method to strip plaster safely and efficiently, contaminated material, tile adhesive, and paint off walls, ceilings and floors. Suitable for the Brokk 170, Brokk 200 and Brokk 300, the BSG 530 removes material through constant contact and high pressure on the surface, resulting in a more even, consistent removal over large areas that aren’t possible with handheld grinding tools. The Brokk Surface Grinder is instrumental in handling hazardous materials, such as asbestos, where operator safety is critical. The attachment can also be used for surface preparation and polishing by adding different tools.
The Brokk Grapple Saw 15 (BGS 15) is two attachments in one – a grapple and cold cutting saw. It is enabled to cut metal pipes up to approximately 200 millimetres (7.87 inches) and grab and sort material without changing the attachment. Compatible with the Brokk 110, Brokk 170 and Brokk 200, the BGS 15 it cuts both fixed material and loose scrap without creating sparks that can instigate a fire risk. A Brokk robot, paired with this attachment, brings compact power to large cutting tasks in tight spaces.
Brokk will also showcase its unique dust suppression system, the Atomized Water Mist. This system offers superior dust suppression as an ideal solution for combatting harmful silica dust. The water mist requires less water than other methods with just 0.2 liters per minute (6.76 ounces per minute). This means not only less water consumption, but also a cleaner worksite and less waste.
Lastly, Brokk 900 will mark its first with their presence at Bauma 2022 for displaying at the exhibition.
