  • A Game Changer for Slag Removal | Customer Sharing Mar 01, 2023
    Slag accumulation at the mouth of the converter or inside ladles after smeltingcan be a major hassle involving dangerous and time-consuming manual cleaning. Our remotely operated furnace dismantling robot has changed the game for our steel plant. The robot uses a combination of high pressure water jets, rotation, and suction to efficiently break up and remove slag residues from the interior surfaces of the converter and ladles. An operator controls the robot's movements and functions remotely through a control system from a safe distance. Prior to installing the robot, our staff would have to suit up in protective gear and climb inside the hot and dangerous converter and ladles to chip and scrape out slag using hammers, shovels and manual water jets. The process took hours and exposed workers to harmful fumes and heat. Now, the robot tackles the job in less than half the time and our staff remain safely outside the work area. Productivity and safety have improved dramatically, reducing costs from less worker downtime and injury claims. The remote slag dismantling equipment has delivered on its promises of improved efficiency, safety and reduced maintenance costs.We highly recommend it for any steel producer looking for a more modern solution to slag removal.
  • Upgrading to Demolition Robots - A Smart Choice for Our Cement Plant Jul 18, 2023
    As the lead engineer at our cement plant, I'm always looking for ways to improve safety and efficiency. We used to rely solely on manual labor to dismantle concrete structures during maintenance and expansions. But using jackhammers and other hand tools was an extremely slow, hazardous process. Workers faced risks from breathing dust, hand-arm vibrations, and falling debris. Projects dragged on for weeks. We knew there had to be a better way. That's when we decided to invest in demolition robots. This turned out to be one of the best decisions for our plant! These incredible machines can demolish concrete in tight spaces human workers simply can't access. Their hydraulic powered robotic arms systematically take down structures from the inside out. With their advanced sensors and precision movements, they can delicately dismantle around rebar and conduits. We control the demolition robots remotely from a safe distance which avoids any risks to our crew. The robots' stability and careful programming give us total command over the deconstruction. I feel we made the ethical choice by prioritizing our workers' safety with this advanced automation technology. The results have been phenomenal. Demolition robots have made maintenance so much smoother and faster now. Projects that took weeks or months before are completed in just days with demolition robots on the job. Their durability allows them to work around the clock with minimal downtime. We've also significantly reduced costs by eliminating the need for extensive manual demolition labor. Safety has improved dramatically as well. No more risks of workers becoming fatigued or injured by jackhammers, breathing in silica dust, or struck by falling debris. The robots precisely target areas for removal and minimize flying material. We've had zero safety incidents since implementing them. With our plant expanding, we worked closely with the robotics company to purchase additional units customized for our needs. Their engineers took the time to understand our specific concrete removal challenges. They programmed the controls to match our workflow and adjusted the robots' hydraulics for maximum power on thick structural concrete. We also had them outfit the robots with dust suppression attachments to further control airborne particles. And the units were fabricated using wear-resistant materials to withstand our facility's abrasive environment. The company really optimized the robots for durability and performance in our cement plant. When the shipment arrived, our team did comprehensive inspections and test runs before putting the robots into service. We wanted to verify their demolition capabilities, safety features, and remote operability firsthand. They passed every test with flying colors. I even took one for a test drive and was amazed by its precision maneuverability via the remote control. Our expansion project is now well underway with a fleet of demolition robots leading the concrete removal. Their efficient deconstruction abilities continue to impress us. I check on their progress daily and am pleased to report the project is ahead of schedule thanks to these automatons. With state-of-the-art demolition robots, we have the versatile, multi-functional concrete removal power needed as our operations grow. They've proven to be a smart investment that pays for itself through time and labor savings alone. I highly recommend any cement plant looking to upgrade their concrete demolition and maintenance consider implementing demolition robots. They are safe, sustainable, and the future for efficient concrete dismantling and materials reuse! Please reach out if you'd like me to consult on your plant's specific automation needs. I'm happy to share our experience harnessing robotic technology to gain a competitive advantage. Let's connect to discuss how demolition robots can optimize your operations too!
  • Boosting Steel Production with Demolition Robots | Customer Sharing Aug 01, 2023
    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.
