Schwarze A7 Zephyr Regenerative Air Sweeper

Revolutionizing Runway Sweeping with Regenerative Air

When it comes to maintaining safe and efficient runways, proper sweeping is crucial. And in recent years, there has been a shift towards more eco-friendly and efficient methods of runway sweeping. One such method is the use of regenerative air sweepers, specifically the Schwarze A7 Zephyr.

Runways are subject to constant wear and tear from aircraft landings, weather elements, debris, and other factors. This can lead to build-up of foreign objects such as rubber deposits, FOD (Foreign Object Debris), and general pollution. These objects not only impact the appearance of the runway, but can also pose a safety hazard to aircraft during takeoff and landing. Therefore, it is important for airports to have an effective sweeping system in place.

With the A7 Zephyr, airport authorities and facilities managers can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their runways are maintained to the highest standards, significantly reducing the risk of FOD without compromising on operational efficiency.

Why Choose the Schwarze A7 Zephyr?

The Schwarze A7 Zephyr is not just any runway sweeper—it represents the pinnacle of regenerative air technology designed to meet the rigorous standards set by the Department of Defense for high-speed sweeping. Here’s why the A7 Zephyr should be your first choice in runway maintenance:

  • Comprehensive FOD Removal: The A7 Zephyr utilizes three FAA-approved methods for Foreign Object Debris removal in one compact unit, including vacuum and brush removal, a powerful truck-mounted magnet, and a high-velocity air blast for the most stubborn debris.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Unlike traditional vacuum sweepers that release collected debris back into the atmosphere, the regenerative air technology maintains the compressed air in a sealed loop, preserving the environment around your facility.
  • Exceptional Versatility: Designed to remove a wide range of debris from runways, including water, ferrous materials, de-icer, and organic matter like dirt, grass, and leaves, the A7 Zephyr ensures your runway is safe and operational under any conditions.
