The AF1 Cold Air Blower System has proven to be an effective snow and FODs fighting equipment, significantly reducing runway occupancy time and maintenance operation costs. With its 860 km/h (535 mph) wind velocity and 9.21 m3/s (19,500 cfm) airflow, AF1 EVO removes fresh and packed snow around runway lights and airfield signs in seconds. It’s an effective piece of equipment to clear away snow and ice from runways, taxiways, aprons and thus cutting down on broom usage. In addition, the system efficiently maintains pavement surfaces and significantly reduces aircraft engine foreign object damages by blowing away dust and various FODs such as rocks, debris, shells, crack filling compounds, plastic and metal components.
Big airflow. Remove snow around runway lights in seconds without damage.
Reduce FODs. Plastic and metal components, organic debris, shells, dust, etc..
Self-contained and removable module. The multipurpose carrier can be put at work all
year round
TECHNICAL DATA
The AF1 is a powerful cold air blower system with air speed of up to 850 km/h (525 mph) and airflow of up to 9.21 m/s (19,500 cfm). It comes with an adjustable nozzle to control and direct the desired airflow to ensure precise and efficient cleaning of tracks and switches. The nozzle is hydraulically controlled by a joystick and can be directed to the left or right and raised 76 to 832 mm (3 to 32 ¾ in.) off the tracks.
The AF1 can travel at speeds of up to 90 km/h (56 mph) on roads or up to 30 km/h (19 mph) on tracks for snow removal and track maintenance. The flexibility of the AF1 with its hi-rail system lets you move from one track to another or to another site with hi-rail or road traction. This flexibility helps save time, and reduces costs by increasing production efficiency in snow removal and maintenance work.
The AF1 delivers flexibility, powerful cleaning and easy handling for a single operator, at a very low operating cost.
AIRPORTAPPLICATIONS
The AF1 cold air blower cleaning runway lights.
In airports, the AF1 is used to clear snow, ice, water and debris off runways, taxiways, runway lights and aprons.
During the winter months, runways are vulnerable to snow and ice – each of which can significantly reduce what is known as the runway tolerance. This is the degree to which a landing aircraft can stop without sliding, and a plane taking off needs a similar level of grip in order to generate the speed needed to get off the ground.
Hydroplaning is a condition that can exist when an aircraft is landed on a runway surface contaminated with standing water after heavy rain, slush, and/or wet snow. Hydroplaning can have serious adverse effects on ground controllability and braking efficiency.
Runways require much more attention and even in good weather they are inspected every day to ensure there is no debris that might be drawn into the aircrafts engines.
The high velocity and air flow of the AF1 is a perfect combination to remove the snow, ice and debris and to dry the surface in order to reduce the potential to hydroplane, thus increasing safety for landing and taking off.
