FACT: The TYMCO HSP is the first revolution in airport sweeping in over 30 years.
For the first time in over 30 years - a revolutionary new product for the air industry. Engineered specifically for superior control of Foreign Object Damage (FOD) - of every size and shape - TYMCO's patented HSP (High Speed Performance) REGENERATIVE AIR RUNWAY SWEEPER puts the power of a 250 mph controlled jet of air in your operators' hands.
Without the cost and upkeep of main brooms, elevators or vacuums, the HSP digs into crevices for unsurpassed cleaning of even the smallest FOD while prying up the heaviest debris. All at a speed today's busy airports demand. In test after test, the HSP sweeper consistently picks up 100% at 15 mph - and can sweep up to 25 mph for faster cleanups. The clincher: it's the most economical sweeper to operate, bar none.
The powerful blower on the HSP pulls air from inside the hopper, then blasts it down and across the pick-up head onto the pavement at 250 mph, forcing objects as heavy as bolts and solid steel cylinders and particles as small as 10 microns - into the hopper. Our patented centrifugal dust separator then thoroughly cleans this same air and recycles it - never exhausting dirty air into the environment as do vacuum sweepers.
The HSP is the only "strictly air" sweeper to pass the demanding 10-cylinder test with flying colors.
The hazards and potential liabilities of littered runways are an airport manager's nightmare. You need to be confident that your sweeper can do the job on heavy debris. That's why TYMCO decided to put the HSP through the government's rigorous 10-cylinder test. Here's how it works: Ten solid steel cylinders measuring 1" in diameter by 3" long are placed on the ground at varying intervals. To pass the test, the sweeper must pick up all ten cylinders in one pass at 15 mph. With an 87"wide sweeping path, the HSP picks up all ten - and is the only runway sweeper to pass the test using strictly air, without the assistance of brooms.
Brooms and runways simply don't mix.
Other manufacturers claim that their sweepers (with main brooms) are "designed for runway use." Research with input from airport and airline personnel tell us that brooms only get in the way on the unique terrain of airfields. Here's why you won't find a main broom on our HSP sweeper:- TYMCO's REGENERATIVE AIR does the job without main brooms (the 10-cylinder test is proof positive). Less powerful vacuum sweepers absolutely, positively need the main brooms to even come close to the performance of the HSP.
- Main brooms used in high-speed applications wear out quickly because they run constantly. So you've got the added expense of broom replacement about every 200 hours costing hundreds of dollars annually and thousands over the life of the machine - along with the added expense of downtime and maintenance.
- Air has the unique ability to follow the contours of the ground for more efficient sweeping. A main broom just cannot get down into concrete spalls and the crevices of expansion joints and tiedowns - but actually fills them with debris. The blasting action of the HSP air system easily removes FOD and digs deeper for a totally clean surface.
- Main brooms have the unwanted liability of getting snagged by tiedown straps and refueling ground wires - almost always damaging the broom and causing excessive downtime. No broom, no problem.
Cost-effective at purchase and over the long sweep.
Fortunately, high performance doesn't have to mean high price. The HSP delivers well before it hits the runway - with a competitive price we'll cost out against any competitor. For long-term economy, the HSP outruns them all:- Fewer mechanical parts means less downtime and greater productivity.
- No main broom, elevators and flights to replace or maintain.
- No caster wheels, tires or bearings to repair or replace.
- No filters or baghouses.
- Greater fuel efficiency (credited to HSP's REGENERATIVE AIR design).
- Can operate on standard Jet A1 or JP8 fuel.
- Simple, safe raker assist dumping system eliminates unnecessary dump hoist and hydraulic components.
