The automatic system of the concrete floor shot blasting machine used for removing asphalt paint can improve the anti-skid performance of the airport surface, thus enabling smoother landings, improving drainage and reducing skidding. The frictional properties during the shot blasting process allow aircraft to operate safely within the landing and take-off speed ranges. Shot blasting can also treat the surface to make it clean and dry so that a durable coating can be applied.
Range of application:
concrete repair and restoration, general construction, flooring, painting & coating, bridges & highways, airports, remediation, demolition & renovation, utility, marine/shipyards, storage tank maintenance and others.
Runway Surface Texturing
Airport runways and taxiways can benefit from shot blasting. This process improves the skid resistance of existing surfaces by enhancing or developing mega-texture, macro-texture, and micro-texture to promote smoother landings, improve drainage and reduce aquaplaning. These texture qualities also provide sufficient frictional properties to allow aircraft to maneuver safely throughout their landing and take-off speed range. Shot blasting can also prepare surfaces for application of life-extending coatings by leaving a clean, dry, profiled surface.
Line Stripe Removal
Line stripe or pavement marking removal requires the right equipment for the job. Striping is also effectively removed using shot blasting, leaving the surface clean and dry, immediately ready for new striping. Systems are available for narrow markings or for removing striping up to four feet wide in a single pass. Shot blasters are used most often with concrete substrates where markings are long and the workload is extensive.
Rubber Removal
Concrete floor shotbBlasting machine can be effective in removing tire rubber residue and other contaminants from airport runway touchdown points on both asphalt and concrete runways. In many cases, removing contaminants with shot blasting will improve the surface friction coefficient even compared to original values seen prior to contamination.
Product advantage:
Labor and time saving
Operates in forward (push) direction
Lightweight unit is easy to handle and transport
Laser-cut components and utilization of improved manufacturing technologies along with a powder-coat finish helps assure quality construction and long life.
