Jet Sweepers Airport technology

Unmatched clearing capacity. Unrivalled reliability. Why settle for less? Towed jet sweepers – TJS and TJS-C. The TJS and TJS-C are particularly powerful and efficient when it comes to getting runways, taxiways and aprons ready for use again as quickly as possible. Back to blacktop in a single work step. Three process steps combined in a single operation: 1. The snow plough clears the majority of the snow to the side. 2. The brush roller clears away the remaining snow and slush. 3. The blower unit generates a powerful jet of air that sweeps across the entire sweeping width, removing any...

Brush roller The hydraulically driven brush roller is mounted on the support frame. The brush roller is suspended (parallelogram lifting system), so that it rests on the tarmac regardless of vehicle movement and uneven ground. The brush roller’s automatic and stepless sweeping pattern adjustment is carried out hydraulically by adjustment of the height on the twin castors. During clearing work, the brush speed is adjusted automatically to suit the driving speed. The brush speed is shown on the control panel’s display. A long brush service life is guaranteed – thanks to the wear-dependent...

Mixed bristles Optimum brush life: In our experience, an optimum brush life is achieved with a 21-piece cartridge brush set with the longest bristle length. This type of brush is the most economical based on the number of cartridges to brush cost ratio – a recommendation we are happy to share with you. Another plus: Depending on your requirements, you can choose between plastic (poly) bristle materials, mixed (poly/steel) or steel. Number of cartridges Ring brush

Blower unit The blower unit of the TJS/TJS-C is located directly behind the sweeping unit. There is next to no performance loss, since the air flow is dispersed directly above the ground. The blower removes any remaining water and slush from the clearing area. The TJS/TJS-C ensures optimum friction values and thus better braking action on runways. The blower is driven hydraulically by the auxiliary engine via a variable displacement pump. The blower speed can be regulated in two stages, making optimum use of performance. The aerodynamic air flow in the air duct also offers optimum blast air...

The TJS-C’s environmentally friendly drive technology. Airports are facing growing challenges due to environmental and climate protection, which is why Aebi Schmidt focuses consistently on innovations that steer clear of pollutants and CO2 emissions in development of its machines. The use of environmentally friendly engines for the TJS series is an excellent example of this approach. Since the required performance of these machines is matched by corresponding fuel consumption, Volvo’s CO2-neutral engines are used. They are powered by a mixture of biogas and biodiesel: the dual fuel system...

Traction vehicles and vehicle connections With three different coupling systems, Aebi Schmidt offers a jet sweeper that suits your individual requirements. We use our modular kits – featuring a wide range of TJS versions, working widths and clearing capacities – to configure a tailor-made jet sweeper just for you. Semi-trailers For the semi-trailer version, all commercially available truck chassis can be used as a towing vehicle, including MAN, MercedesBenz, Volvo or other vehicles with fifth wheel coupling (ideally, a 4x4 chassis). 4-wheel TJS with towbar All commercially available chassis...

One device – a multitude of variants: the TJS/TJS-C from 420 to 630 The modular concept allows us to build the TJS/TJS-C fully in line with your specific needs: • Towing or carrier vehicle that suits your preferences perfectly • Various bristle materials • Brush width (4,200 mm – 6,300 mm/13.7 ft – 20.7 ft) • Chassis trail: with or without brush roller parking position • Customer-specific options • Tarron MS series airport snow plough, blade width (4,800 mm – 8,000 mm/15,7 ft – 26.2 ft) • Other customer

Compact jet sweeper – CJS Compact high-performance machine The CJS (Compact Jet Sweeper), a compact powerhouse, is all about efficient and fast snow clearance, unsurpassed manoeuvrability and first-class equipment. Convincing arguments • very small turning radius; compact design • reliable and fast clearing up to 60 km/h/37.2 mph • maximum blower performance, thanks to aerodynamic air flow • proven control technology, a variety of options and intelligent assistance systems • long bristle service life due to automatic sweeping pattern adjustment • robust and compact design on standard lorry...

Carrier vehicles Brush roller High-performance blower The compact jet sweeper can be mounted on two carrier vehicles as standard. The sweeping unit is mounted between the vehicle axles. The brush roller is powered hydrostatically. Mercedes-Benz* • Arocs 2033 chassis • Turning circle diameter: approx. 18 m/59 ft • with optional supplementary rear axle steering On the CJS, the brush roller is also suspended and optimally adjusted to the sweeping surface, and thus achieves a very good clearing result. Twin castors are used to adjust the brush roller’s sweeping pattern automatically and...

Multifunctional jet sweeper with de-icer – CJS-DI Multifunctional jet sweeper with de-icer. Aebi Schmidt’s extended concept: proven technology and reliable components combined with tailor-made options and intelligent assistance systems. Our CJS-DI has been refined by your feedback! Proven technology and reliable components combined in one machine. The CJS-DI is mounted in a compact fashion on a MAN series chassis (drive formula: 6x4-6), which thus enables maximum manoeuvrability on, for example, narrow aprons. As with the Aebi Schmidt Group’s other jet sweepers, it naturally achieves a...

‘The compact concept of the Schmidt CJS-DI has had us convinced right from the start. It helps us to clear snow and ice from the tarmac in the shortest possible time, which ensures that flights run on time during the winter. Schmidt’s CJS-DI certainly offers best-in-class performance in terms of manoeuvrability, state-of-the-art technology and intelligent assistance systems.’ Klaus Bahya, Senior Expert in Fleet Renewal & Fleet Projects, Stuttgart Airport
