Refactory Demolition

Refractory demolition within industrial process units is executed with state-of-the-art technology, leverag- ing advanced robotic demolition equipment. These robots are engineered for precision and efficiency, tailored to operate in the confined spaces typical of industrial environments. Their versatility allows them to be deployed for a range of demolition tasks, including but not limited to:

  • The removal of castable and brickwork from rotary cement kilns, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
  • Deslagging and breaking out of refractories from metal ladles, even while still hot, minimizing downtime.
  • Breakout of tap holes under hot working conditions, maintaining operational efficiency.
  • The demolition of industrial processing furnaces, such as aluminium melting and holding furnaces and arc furnaces, with accuracy and safety.
  • Specialized and controlled demolition of chimney stacks, utilizing specially designed working platforms for safety and effectiveness.


By integrating these robotic machines, we significantly reduce the risk of injury to personnel working in confined and potentially hazardous environments. This innovation not only replaces the need for a large demolition crew with a single machine and operator but also ensures the operator remains at a safe distance, remotely controlling the demolition process. This approach not only enhances safety but also increases efficiency, reducing downtime and ensuring that our clients’ operations can resume as swiftly as possible.
