Heavsty High Pressure Water Blasting Removal Machine Makes Debut at Tengchong Airport in Yunnan, Earning Praise for Efficient Line Removal and Pavement Protection

Recently, Heavsty's high pressure water blasting removal machine, manufactured by a renowned domestic enterprise in the line marking and removal sector, completed an efficient line removal operation at Yunnan Tengchong Airport. The equipment earned high recognition from airport management and on-site personnel for its outstanding removal results and minimal damage to the road surface, providing a premium solution for runway and apron line renewal and maintenance.

As a vital aviation hub in western Yunnan, Tengchong Airport has seen wear and fading on original markings across runways, taxiways, and aprons following years of operation. This not only compromises aircraft precision during take-off, landing, and taxiing but also fails to meet civil aviation standards. Previously, the airport had considered traditional mechanical milling and chemical agent removal methods. However, the former risks causing deep surface scratches and structural damage to the pavement, while the latter poses issues such as chemical residue pollution and incomplete removal. Neither approach adequately met the airport's dual requirements for operational quality and pavement protection.

Following extensive evaluation and comparison, the airport management ultimately selected the Heavsty high pressure water blasting removal machine for the marking removal operation. It is understood that this equipment employs advanced high-pressure water jet technology. By precisely controlling water pressure and flow angle, it transforms high-pressure water into an ‘invisible cutting tool’ with formidable impact force. During operation, the water stream efficiently penetrates the marking coating, completely stripping old markings from the surface without causing any damage to the underlying asphalt or concrete base. Field data indicates that for thermoplastic markings up to 1.5 millimetres thick on airport runways, the Heavsty machine achieves an hourly clearance rate of 80-100 square metres with over 98% removal efficiency. Residual marking levels fall well below the civil aviation industry's 0.1-millimetre standard, while pavement flatness remains unaffected post-operation, eliminating the need for additional surface restoration.

Traditional equipment often left noticeable milling marks on the surface after removal, necessitating additional labour and resources for grinding and patching. This not only increased costs but also extended the operational cycle. Heavsty's high-pressure water line remover completely resolves these issues, leaving the surface as good as new and enhancing aircraft safety during transit.’ A representative from Yunnan Tengchong Airport highly commended the performance of Heavsty's high pressure water blasting removal machine.

As a leading enterprise in the line marking and removal equipment sector, Heavsty remains dedicated to the research, development, and innovation of road marking machinery. Its successful application at Yunnan Tengchong Airport not only demonstrates the core advantages of its products in efficient line removal and road surface protection but also provides a benchmark for road marking maintenance across domestic airports, motorways, and other transport infrastructure. Moving forward, Heavsty will intensify its investment in technological R&D to introduce more high-performance, environmentally friendly line removal equipment, thereby contributing to the high-quality development of the transport infrastructure maintenance sector.
