Refractory Kiln Wrecking

Solutions for safe working in inhospitable environments

Gnat UK has gained a reputation for reliability and efficiency in all areas of demolition. The continual need to replace kiln and furnace linings creates loss of production time and has in the past required inefficient and hazardous manual demolition operations. With the use of compact, robotic plant Gnat UK is able to considerably reduce 'down-time' and increase productivity, whilst maintaining a high level of safety.

Through experience in the aluminium, copper and cement industries Gnat UK provides expert knowledge coupled with the wide ranging capabilities of a fleet of Brokk demolition equipment. The Brokk 40, 180 and Brokk 330 series have been used successfully on contracts where previously machinery would not have been the considered option.

With this compact design, access to restricted areas of work is no longer a problem and because the units are operated by our engineers remotely, time needed to cool furnaces of kilns after production is considerably decreased.

The power produced by the Brokk series is such that when breaking out copper and aluminium furnace linings the acclaimed saving in down time has been up to 200%
