Weigel Hochdrucktechnik presented an innovative product complementing the existing TrackJet® product range, which is already in operation at more than 60 airports worldwide, at inter airport europe 2009 in Munich (6-9 October 2009).
The German company, together with the Austrian snow blower specialist company Kahlbacher, has developed a quickly and easily attachable TrackJet front module for Kahlbacher's high-speed snow blower KFS 170 M2.
It takes only a few minutes to attach the TrackJet module to the front of the snow blower and it is immediately operational. Consequently, this product will result in a huge advantage for airport operators because they can use their snow blowers efficiently during the whole year - both as snow ploughs and as machines for maintaining the runways.
The new TrackJet version combines the advantages and experience of both products in a perfect way: TrackJet is an ultra-high water pressure cleaning system for runways, which is extremely environmentally friendly because it uses just water without the addition of chemicals, to gently remove rubber or paint markings from the surface.
On the other hand, the steering and drive technology developed by Kahlbacher and used for the TrackJet provides maximum performance with a continuously variable hydraulic four-wheel drive and the highest possible operational comfort in the fully-suspended drivers cab. The high-speed blower cutter and the TrackJet system are mounted on a truck with a CAN-BUS-controlled two-motor system.
