As a major steel producer, keeping our furnaces running efficiently is critical to meeting demand and staying competitive. However, required maintenance like slag removal and relining blast furnaces results in costly downtime. We used to halt production for days to cool and manually clean each furnace. But since implementing Hitech's demolition robots, we've slashed this maintenance time to just hours. These robotic breakers have become invaluable for fast, safe furnace turnarounds. Equipped with rugged hydraulic arms, they can operate remotely in the extreme heat and confined spaces. With precision control, the robots demolish thick slag buildup and worn refractory lining. The quick access inside hot furnaces prevents damage compared to cooling and entering manually. We customized our Hitech demolition robots with specialized tools for each application. The tri-tool on one breaker switches from a chisel to a grinder to a hammer, allowing it to chip away slag then smooth the furnace wall. Another robot has a drum cutter ideal for slicing up solidified slag. The articulating arms provide the ideal angles to reach any spot. The results speak for themselves - we've reduced standard furnace maintenance from 5 days to just 1. This has directly increased our production capacity by over 5% annually since implementing the Hitech robots. And with the ability to schedule furnace relining more frequently, we've improved steel quality and energy efficiency. The demolition robots have proven to be a smart investment. The cost savings from shorter downtime and increased output covers the robot purchase in under a year. And with remote operation, maintenance is much safer for our workers. Hitech's demolition robots have become indispensable for keeping our steel mill productive. We're glad to be partners in developing customized automation solutions.
