AIRPORT SNOW REMOVAL AND MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT

The AF1 cold air blower system is the ideal solution for clearing rapidly accumulating snow, ice, standing water and debris off runways, taxiways, runway lights and aprons – and do so safely. Safety is a very important feature of our AF1 cold air blower. 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 can travel at speeds of up to 90 km/h (56 mph) for snow removal and maintenance operations. It comes with an adjustable nozzle to control and direct the desired airflow to ensure precise and efficient...

The AF1 cold air blower clearing ice and snow at Mirabel Airport, QC, Canada. 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...
