Rampart's newest airfield rubber removal equipment combines the functionality of two pieces of equipment to create one that does it all. The BlasterVac washes the rubber from the runway while simultaneously removing the debris and water created. The BlasterVac is self-contained and can cease removal operations within 30 seconds of notification and can exit the runway in the time required to drive at highway speed to the nearest ramp. As is the case in all of our operations, no chemicals or abrasives are added to the water in order to perform rubber removal. Water pressure and rotation of the jets is action enough to fulfill the rubber removal requirements.

Rampart’s runway Blaster is a truck mounted runway rubber removal vehicle, which is capable of removing rubber from airfield runways at rates exceeding 20,000 square feet per hour. Just like the BlasterVac, the Blaster is self-contained and can cease removal operations within 30 seconds of notification and can exit the runway in the time required to drive at highway speed to the nearest ramp (typically within 3 minutes of notification). The uses only potable water, which is environmentally safe. No chemicals of any type are used. The rubber is vacuumed from the runway surface and is properly disposed in a landfill.

| Vehicle Type: | Tymco 600 | | Vacuum Width: | 7' (2.1 m) | | Air Flow: | 11,000 cfm (312 m3/m) | | Capacity: | 2 cy (1.5 m3) | | Vehicle Specifications |

Rampart uses Tymco sweeper/vacuum trucks to collect the rubber debris following removal by the Blaster. During the clean up operation the rubber, dirt and debris removed by the high-pressure water blast is vacuumed from the runway surface. A portion of the water used during removal is also collected. Water is typically decanted from the vacuum truck along the edge of the runway where its allowed to re-absorb in to the ground. The rubber can be transported in the vacuum truck to a designated location where it can be properly disposed. Typically the vacuum truck can hold all of the rubber removed during a removal work shift. |
