The Brokk Ex range is available for all sizes of Brokk machines, from the compact Brokk 60 to the Brokk 800. These machines are designed to be safely operated in environments where explosive gas might be present. The machines have the same industry-leading performance and can use the same broad range of powerful attachments as the standard Brokk machines.

The Brokk Ex machines are classified up to Equipment class 3G IIA T3, according to the ATEX

1994/9/EC directive. This means that they can be used in what the ATEX directive calls “Zone 2”, where explosive gas, vapour or mist is not likely to occur in normal operation, but could occur for short periods of time. 

“This is an exciting new step for Brokk. We have received an increasing number of requests for explosion proof machines, where customers want to take the unique compact and flexible performance of Brokk machines to these kinds of hazardous areas,” said Brokk chief executive Martin Krupicka. 

The Brokk Ex machines are especially interesting for applications within oil and gas, mining and tunnelling industries, as well as applications in other hazardous and potentially explosive environments. All the benefits of Brokk machines that are taken for granted, such as compact size, powerful attachments, flexibility of the three‐boom system, precise remote operation, and more are now available in these hazardous environments. Designed to tackle a wide range of different demolition tasks, the Brokk Ex machine brings safety, efficiency and versatility to almost any job.

“Yet again, this shows Brokk’s dedication to continue push the boundaries of what is possible to do with demolition robots,” said Krupicka. “Over the last few years, we have added to the versatility of Brokk machines by introducing new attachments. Now we add a whole new area of operation.”
