Debricking ladles, tundishes, furnaces, blast furnace runners and rotary kilns in the iron and steel industry: Unique kinematics make targeted debricking easier
At Metec 2015 TML will be showing its new UNIDACHS 220 debricking machine, which it has developed especially for work in the iron and steel industry. For the first time there is an unusually small and compact machine designed for debricking ladles, tundishes, furnaces, blast furnaces runners and rotary kilns, and which features the unique kinematics of a telescopic boom. It means that the new machine can be deployed in very tight spaces and where working space and height is restricted.
The debricking machine is ideal for debricking ladles, tundishes, furnaces, blast furnace runners and rotary kilns in the iron and steel industry because it was built to be used in hot zones, and with its 360° endlessly rotating telescopic boom, can reach every point from which material needs to be removed. With a stroke of 2,000 mm the UNIDACHS combines an optimum reach with a maximum of flexibility.
The new UNIDACHS is optimised for hydraulic hammers and for rotary drum cutters up to a weight of around 500 kg.
Michael Hobden, authorised representative and marketing manager at TML Technik GmbH, is proud that the company has for the first time implemented telescopic boom technology on a scale that until now had been reserved for mini-excavators. „Operators value the rotating boom and especially the fact that from a single position they can easily reach the full working range. Mini-excavators with an articulated arm are unable to do this due to the kinematics involved. Now our customers have both advantages: the flexibility of the telescopic boom with its unique kinematics, and the compactness of the mini excavator.
Hobden continued: „We are well aware of the extreme temperatures that prevail inside a steel works. As is the case for all our machines, we have adapted the UNIDACHS 220 to cope with the conditions inside steel works“ hot zones. For example the telescopic boom is fully enclosed. That means that the components inside the boom – the hydraulic cylinder and the hoses – are protected from heat radiation and from falling debris.“
With remote control operation, the driver is always working at a safe distance. The remote control system consists of a lightweight control panel with logically arranged elements, which can either be carried on a body belt or incorporated into a control station. If the machine is not visible from the control station, cameras can be installed on the machine as an option, to ensure visual contact with the machine and its environment, displayed on a split screen monitor.
TML supplies the new UNIDACHS 220 either with a four-cylinder diesel engine, or with an „Eco Line“ electro motor. They both supply 55 kW of power. Four hydraulic supports outriggers ensure a high level of stability, even when the hydraulic hammer is working at the highest work position, and the telescopic rotary boom is fully extended.

About TML
Since 1993 TML Technik GmbH has been designing, developing and manufacturing special excavators with telescopic rotary booms and machines for the iron and steel, mining and tunnelling, and the construction and cement-making industries. Hundreds of machines supplied by TML, individually tailored to deal with challenging operating conditions, are constantly proving their value in the harshest of conditions.
Under its philosophy of „working solutions“, TML works closely with its customers to develop solutions that are tailored precisely to special requirement profiles, and which work reliably during harsh day-to-day work … always on the basis of proven, robust, standard components, innovative technology and the expertise gained over 50 years in the business.
At its headquarters at Monheim am Rhein – centrally located between Dusseldorf and Cologne – the company develops and designs the machines, and manufactures them in six factory buildings , covering an area of 22,000 m²: „Made in Germany“
With over 100 employees and with its branch offices and agencies, the company maintains a global presence.
