Airport Runway Maintenance/Rubber and Paint Marking Removal Service
Weigel Hochdrucktechnik's product line is centred around the TrackJet system, which has set new standards for the removal of rubber and paint markings on runways, taxiways and aprons. It also cleans the AGL during the rubber removal process and therefore it is of increasing interest to the runway maintenance organisations and departments of the airport industry. An additional feature is road retexturing, which allows the safety of the runway or road to be improved considerably.
Weigel Hochdrucktechnik has specialized in this business field for 30 years. In 1998, by request of a customer the TrackJet Rubber and Paint Removal System was developed and sold to an Airport Contractor in East Asia. Up until 2009 more than 29 systems have been sold.

TRACKJET - The World Class Technology for A World Class Maintenance at KLIAAfter a very extensive evaluation process the TrackJet technology has been chosen to remove rubber and paint markings, oil and fuel spillages from runway surfaces at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
The Malaysian Airports company has been Green Globe 21 compliant for several years now and was consequently very interested in employing an eco-friendly system, rather than one based on chemicals. Economic benefits resulting from an increased life time of the runway and low operating costs were also important factors in their decision. Due to the efficiency of the TrackJet technology, safety on the runway is also greatly enhanced. The Malaysian company Aviatrade had convinced the authorities to deploy TrackJet systems, for the maintenance of all runways under the control of the Malaysian Airport Company.
KLIA engineers have already received training with the TrackJet system at the manufacturer’s plant in Germany, and were most impressed by the technological advantage of this Ultra High Water Pressure system and its operator friendliness.
In order to be able to clean the aprons or other areas with difficult access at the airport, this system is especially equipped with an extension satellite rotor for manual driven jetting work. With this option, the working area can be extended by approximately 25 m from the main TrackJet equipment.
The TrackJet was successfully commissioned in Malaysia in April. Other countries in the area have already expressed their interest in using this modern technology.
