Airport Runway Cleaning Vehicle: RWC 1000 HS

HDT Hochdrucktechnik Gmbh

Two German companies located in Witten - BROCK Kehrtechnik GmbH and HDT Hochdrucktechnik - designed and build this high performance vehicle for professional runway and surface cleaning.

The rubber deposits on the runway are removed and entirely drawn off by suction. On the vehicle, all of the essential components are hydraulically driven. The required power is taken off two sources: First, via the direct auxiliary drive system and secondly, via a gear, which is built into the cadran shaft, with a hydrostatic drive.

Runway Surface Cleaner

The 1000 mm ø Surface Cleaner, which is located between the first and the second axle, can be lifted up and swivelled back into the vehicle chassis within 3 seconds. In case of an emergency, the vehicle can be driven off the runway within 10 seconds.

Runway Cleaning Vehicle
The vehicle can be tilted hydraulically for maintenance purposes and to empty the dirty water tank. This allows easy access to all of the components - high pressure pump, boost pump, fan, cooler and extractor.

Thanks to the hydraulic transmission, the vehicle can be driven steplessly at any desired speed between 0.5 - 6.5 km/h.

Controls and Settings From The Driver's Cab

  • Monitor for the camera mounted on the surface cleaner
  • Gauge for speed of surface cleaner
  • Gauge for the working pressure
  • Joystick for forward and reverse movement and speed control
  • Setting the speed of the surface cleaner
  • Setting the working pressure
  • Setting the suction operation

Runway Cleaning SystemSafety and Reliability: Environmental-friendly Innovative Economical

The water level in the fresh-water tank is continually monitored. If the level reaches the lowest point the driver / operator is warned both acoustically and visually. If the level drops even further the system switches automatically to the "pressureless" mode (avoiding dry-running of the high pressure pump).

To ensure that the surface being treated is not damaged, the high pressure system shuts off the moment the driver steps on the clutch. The high pressure system can only be activated when the vehicle is actually in motion.

Even at full load (2500 bar and 29 l/min, at a vehicle speed of 2.5 km/h) the water and debris is entirely sucked off the surface and drawn off into the dirty water tank.

The RWC 1000 HS - a further example of our modern technology which more than meets today's demands for environmental-friendly, innovative and economical products.

The Forward and Reverse Movement Is Controlled Steplessly By A Joystick

Camera System

 

The heart of the vehicle is a 140 kW high pressure pump with a performance of 29 l/min at a maximum working pressure of 2500 bar.

Two water filters (100 and 25 ) are assembled in line in the inlet to the water tank.

In addition, there is a 10 filter fitted in the inlet side between the boost pump and the high pressure pump.

The driver is able to keep a constant control of the cleaning process - a camera which is mounted behind the surface cleaner transmits a perfect colour picture direct to a monitor in the driver's cab.High Pressure Runway Cleaning
