JT THORPE uses robotic arm technology to provide the industry's safest, most efficient buildup removal and demolitions. We've partnered with European-based G Leonard Ltd to provide Robotic Arm Descaling services to our North American clients. The Brokk Robotic Arm Descaler is a specialized tool designed for industrial applications, particularly in environments where manual scaling is challenging or hazardous. This robotic arm offers remote-controlled precision, allowing operators to perform descaling tasks from a safe distance, thereby minimizing their exposure to dangerous conditions. The descaler can operate in extreme heat, enabling it to start internal work before areas like preheater towers have cooled down enough for manual tools to be safely used.
The robotic descaler is notably faster than traditional manual methods, significantly reducing the shutdown time of facilities. It is also designed to eliminate the need for scaffolding and explosives, making the process safer and more efficient. Additionally, its compact and agile design allows it to maneuver in tight and confined spaces, further enhancing its versatility and effectiveness in various industrial settings. This technology improves operational efficiency and prioritizes worker safety by minimizing dust exposure and protecting workers from unstable overhead hazards.
JT THORPE, the oldest and largest refractory contractor in North America, offers nationwide service, with branch offices across the country.
