The Future of Steel Maintenance: Meet Firehawk™ by FBR

Описание: Refractory relining is one of the most hazardous, labor-intensive, and time-consuming maintenance tasks in the global steelmaking industry. For decades, the process of relining ladles has relied on manual intervention in high-heat, high-risk environments.

Firehawk™ changes everything.

Powered by FBR’s proprietary Dynamic Stabilisation Technology™ (DST®), Firehawk™ is the world’s most advanced robotic solution specifically engineered to automate the relining of refractory bricks in steel production ladles.

By bringing the precision of aerospace engineering to the furnace floor, Firehawk™ allows steel producers to:

• Drastically Reduce Downtime: Faster, continuous relining cycles mean ladles return to production sooner.
• Enhance Personnel Safety: Remove human operators from hazardous dust, heat, and falling debris zones.
• Ensure Digital Precision: Every brick is placed with laser-calibrated accuracy, ensuring a more uniform and durable lining.

While FBR has been refining the Hadrian® bricklaying robot for the construction sector, our team has been quietly engineering the Firehawk™ to meet a demand we’ve seen consistently since 2018. Having matured our core DST® platform, we are now ready to solve the most difficult challenges in the global steelmaking industry.
