Noida International Airport Partners with Anlon Technology Solutions for India’s First Indigenous Runway Rubber Removal Machine

Noida International Airport (NIA) has announced an exciting new partnership with Anlon Technology Solutions Limited, a prominent Indian MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise) company specializing in innovative technological solutions. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the Indian aviation industry with the deployment of the country’s first indigenously built Runway Rubber Removal Machine (RRM). The introduction of this machine is a crucial step in enhancing airport operations and ensuring runway safety and efficiency at NIA.

The decision to partner with Anlon Technology Solutions is part of Noida International Airport’s broader commitment to adopting cutting-edge technologies that not only improve operational performance but also align with its sustainability goals. By utilizing domestically manufactured solutions like the Runway Rubber Removal Machine, NIA is supporting the growth of India’s technology sector and contributing to the “Make in India” initiative. This partnership also strengthens NIA’s goal to provide world-class services while maintaining high standards of safety and environmental consciousness.

Anlon Technology Solutions, with its expertise in aerospace and airport operations, brings in a wealth of knowledge in developing reliable and efficient machines. The deployment of India’s first indigenously designed RRM underscores the airport’s focus on technological innovation and sustainable practices. The machine will be instrumental in maintaining runway surfaces by effectively removing rubber deposits, paint markings, and oil spills, ensuring a safe and smooth experience for aircraft operations. This development is another example of NIA’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of excellence in the aviation sector.

The state-of-the-art Cleanjet RRM is a domestically manufactured solution for critical airport operations. Built on a robust Eicher Pro 6028 chassis, this innovative machine is designed to ensure the highest standards of runway safety and efficiency at Noida International Airport.

Key Features of Anlon’s Cleanjet RRM – Ensuring Peak Runway Performance:

• Advanced 100% chemical free cleaning: The machine efficiently removes rubber deposits, paint markings, and oil spills from runways, taxiways, and aprons. Crucially, it uses ultra-high-pressure water jets, making the entire process 100% chemical-free. This ensures a safe and skid-free surface for aircraft operations without harming the environment or airport pavement.

• Built for Indian conditions: Constructed on the reliable Eicher Pro 6028 platform, this machine is powered by a Bharat Stage-VI compliant diesel engine, ensuring robust performance. An auxiliary CAT C9.3B engine and a powerful Hammelmann high-pressure pump deliver precise, damage-free cleaning.

• Exceptional Efficiency: Designed for rapid and effective cleaning, the Cleanjet RRM can clear 800 to 1100 square meters per hour. With large 8000-liter tanks for fresh water and debris, it can operate continuously for over 4 hours, minimizing downtime during critical maintenance windows.

• Integrated Solution: An intelligent built-in suction system collects all wastewater, rubber particles, paint flakes, and oil spills directly at the nozzle. This leaves the runway surface dry and ready for immediate use, eliminating the need for additional cleanup.

• Operator Comfort and Safety: The air-conditioned cabin is ergonomically designed with all controls easily accessible. Multiple cameras and a 12-inch display provide real-time monitoring and record operational footage for up to a month, enhancing safety and accountability.

• Rapid Deployment and Versatility: The machine is designed for quick response, capable of vacating the runway swiftly in emergencies without needing to dismantle components. Its user-friendly, modular design allows the cleaning head to be easily raised, lowered, or detached for simplified transport and storage.

This partnership underscores Noida International Airport’s commitment to adopting cutting-edge, sustainable technologies to enhance operational excellence and safety.
