Rotary kilns exceeding 60 meters in length are essential in heavy industrial processes. As these large cylindrical vessels with diameters of 3 to 6 meters rotate at an incline, raw materials tumble and are heated inside.
Over time, the kiln lining deteriorates and material buildup adheres to the walls, obstructing product flow. Manually clearing blockages from confined rotary kilns is extremely hazardous due to poor ventilation, dust, and collapse risks.
The compact 1,300 kg HCR120D demolition robot is designed to enter rotary kilns with diameters of 3 meters or greater. At just 2.95 meters wide, it can access the interior through standard ports. Operators remotely control the robot from up to 150 meters away.
With 18.5 kW of power, the HCR120D utilizes its interchangeable hydraulic crusher/shear attachment to systematically demolish debris and clean encrusted lining. Its sturdy tracks maintain stability while traversing uneven rubble.
By keeping large rotary kilns free of obstructions, the HCR120D reduces downtime by 70% and improves production efficiency by over 15% compared to manual cleaning methods. Its remote operation eliminates human entry risks, saving companies an estimated $500,000 annually in liability costs. The rugged HCR120D provides an ideal robotic solution for hazardous rotary kiln maintenance.
