Brokk has launched a new remote-controlled stationary breaker boom system for the mining and aggregates industry.

The manufacturer says its new machine range allows producers to apply the power and precision of Brokk’s demolition robots to primary breaking tasks that feed mobile crushers, jaw crushers, gyratory crushers and grizzlies.

“Brokk saw an opportunity to give our customers a better solution for breaking oversize rock in crushing and grizzly applications,” Brokk Group president and chief executive officer Martin Krupicka said.

“We’ve developed technology that is powerful, compact, flexible and easy to install.

“The new Brokk pedestal boom provides a plug-and-play solution that is perfect for underground spaces with low headroom or other space constraints.

“We are leveraging our 45 years of experience and proven technology platforms to create a smart, safe and user-friendly solution.”

The Brokk pedestal boom pairs Brokk’s three-part arm system with 360-degree slewing for maximum versatility in underground applications.

The unit can be operated with either the tethered remote or from a control room.

Depending on network configuration the machine can be maneuvered from 2000m away or further using video monitoring and operation to increase safety and efficiency.

Model sizes for the range include the Brokk 200, Brokk 300, Brokk 500 and the Brokk 900 Pedestal Boom, which is capable of producing 3050 J/Nm at a rate of 330-680 blows per minute with the BHB 1500 breaker.
