LKAB Malmberget

In de ijzerertsmijn van Malmberget in Zweden moest LKAB enorme rotsblokken verkleinen voordat ze de breekinstallaties bereikten, 1250 meter onder de grond, in een besloten ruimte.

Traditional blasting methods were time-consuming, costly, and posed safety risks. A Brokk 800 replaced explosives with mechanical demolition, allowing operators to manage oversize material more consistently and keep the crushing process moving.
