Brokk Launched Brokk 100 All-Tool Carrier To Mining Industry At MINExpo 2012

MONROE, WA (Oct. 4, 2012) — Brokk AB, the world’s leading manufacturer of remote controlled all-tool carrier machines, introduced the Brokk 100 to the mining industry for the first time. Ideal for narrow vein mining, the Brokk 100 can operate in the tightest, most confined spaces.

Featuring a more compact design, yet 35-percent greater breaking power, the all-new Brokk 100 replaces the best-selling Brokk 90 machine. The Brokk 100 enhances the company’s already-extensive line of remote controlled, zero-emissions, electric driven all-tool carriers, designed for use in a variety of industries including mining and tunneling, cement and metal processing, construction and demolition, and nuclear, as well as other specialty applications.

Its compact design allows the Brokk 100 to operate in restricted spaces. The low-profile configuration, featuring a three-piece boom design, is less than 4-feet high, and permits access into smaller openings, while the lower center of gravity provides greater stability. The machine’s improved driving capabilities mean that it can operate in the most challenging jobsites.

Though the overall design is compact, power and reach have not been sacrificed. A new load-sensing hydraulic system with improved hydraulic capacity helps generate
unparalleled breaking power when paired with the included Atlas Copco SB152 breaker. Maximum horizontal reach is 12.1-feet, while vertical reach is 14.1-feet.

Building on its more than 30 years of experience in the engineering and manufacturing of demolition robots, Brokk designed the new Brokk 100 with the same proven abilities to take on even the most challenging limited-access projects, while also including advancements to the machine’s design and components. The new machine is the first in the industry to deliver the flexibility of true 360-degree working performance, without compromising stability, productivity or reliability.

Electric driven machines are a great choice for confined tunnel activity. The Brokk 100 is powered by a 32-amp, 20-horsepower electric motor, allowing safe, emissions-free operation.

Excluding attachments, the Brokk 100 weights in at 2,183-pounds. Recommended maximum weight of attachments such as beam manipulators, breakers, crushers, drills and shears is 331-pounds. The unit features a height of only 3.8-feet and width of just 2.6-feet.

Additional improvements and features include upgraded cooling capacity, impact-resistant steel covers, improved rubber pads on the outriggers and LED lights with virtually unbreakable covers.

In addition to the new 100, Brokk offers eight models, ranging in size from the Brokk 50, at just 1,100-pounds, up to the Brokk 800, at 11-tons. The company also engineers and builds custom machines with special equipment such as cameras, extended arms, side-angling devices and cable drums.

Brokk has been the world’s leading manufacturer of remote controlled demolition machines and attachments for more than 30 years. Through continuous innovation in engineering and design, Brokk is able to offer unique solutions to multiple industries worldwide including mining, tunneling, construction, demolition, cement and process, nuclear and other specialty applications.
