DXR remote demolition robots – Metal Processing solutions

Cleaning of an iron rotary kiln after 109 days of use, India.

High efficiency with early entry

Demolition in metal-processing plants takes place in high-temperature, high-risk environments under time pressure. Reducing risks to people, production, and surrounding assets is essential, and this requires reducing manual labour. This is where a demolition robot changes the equation. Husqvarna’s DXR robots are built for high-temperature precision applications, help reduce process downtime, and handle tasks more efficiently. Remote operation provides early entry and keeps the operator at a distance from the blast furnace and other hazardous areas.

Deslagging
Early entry helps you more efficiently handle the cleaning or deslagging of blast furnaces.
Greater control
Enjoy more precise control when cleaning a ladle, blast furnace runner or the converter mouth.
Heat resistance
Take advantage of resistance to extreme heat and enhanced cooling to work more effectively.
Easier maintenance
Faster cleaning, removal and transportation of materials.

Features and benefits of DXR demolition robots

Increased productivity
Our robots offer an impressive power-to-weight ratio and can work around the clock to speed up heavy-duty excavation or demolition work.
More cost-effective
Using our robots greatly reduces manual labour costs for completing projects, while limiting interruptions and reducing downtime.
Highly versatile
Our robots are compact and mobile, making them easier to transport and manoeuvre into elevators, through tight spaces and across uneven ground to reach confined spaces.
Easy to use
Enjoy precise, comfortable operation thanks to a well-designed remote control with a joystick, enhanced ergonomics, one-handed operation and an LCD screen.
Work from a safe distance
Remote operation keeps operators at a distance of up to 300 m from hazards such as rockfalls, extreme heat and other dangers.
No fumes
Our robots are fully electric, with no direct emissions, helping you work more easily in confined or hard-to-reach spaces.

Factory-installed feature packages

P1 – Hydraulic function
Allows the operator to control an additional hydraulic function with speed and precision, such as the axial rotation of the grapplers and shearer. Also includes protective shields for the outer hydraulic cylinders. Available for all DXR models.
P2 – Enhanced cooling
Allows the DXR to operate continuously at full power in higher ambient temperatures. This enables higher productivity across various applications, including cement kilns and steel factories. Available for DXR 275, DXR 305 and DXR 315.
P3 – Heat protection
Allows the DXR to be used for deslagging in hot-melting plants and similar applications. Protects vital parts from damage caused by both radiant and conductive heating. Using a longer chisel also helps keep the tool farther from the heat source.
