Schmidt | Sprayer | ASP – Airport Sprayer
- Intuitive operation thanks to the latest control technology
- Fast-folding spraying arms, even while driving
- Overlapping spraying patterns and very precise distribution
- The modular construction allows for optimum adaptation to the carrier vehicle
- Efficiency: The ASP delivers rapid and precise results through preventive and curative de-icing operations on runways, taxiways and aprons.
- Safety: The position of the spraying arms are shown on the display panel, so that collisions can be avoided easily.
- Environmental friendliness: Thanks to the use of the exact dosage, the quantities of de-icing agent and the environmental impact are both reduced.
Spray technology
The ASP consists of a rear spraying bar and two side spraying arms with integrated double rows of nozzles, covering the entire working width. Folding the spraying arms in or out takes less than 30 seconds, allowing efficient set-up times in the field, while the working width is adjustable between 4-40 m and asymmetrical spraying is also possible. The closely spaced nozzles ensure an overlapping spray pattern and, thanks to speed-dependent spraying, each nozzle row is activated and/or deactivated automatically so the correct amount of spraying agent is always applied at the selected dosage for each spraying width. A low pressure pump system allows working at low spray pressure, while the short distance of the spray nozzles to the ground surface means that swirling of the de-icing agent rarely occurs.
The solid parallelogram construction at the front of the machine ensures safe guidance of the spraying arms. The outer spraying arm sections are made of aluminium and have collision protection through a break-out system.
Liquid tanks
Optimal gravity point adjustment is facilitated for each carrier vehicle through the modular construction. The liquid tanks, made of cold-resistant polyethylene with integrated baffles, are suitable for any de-icing agent and are available in 2,200 or 2,500 litre sizes. A powerful diaphragm pump, operating at 300-600 litres per minute, ensures reliable delivery of the spray liquid.
Drive system
ASP sprayers are powered by the hydraulics of the carrier vehicle or a diesel engine.
Control and information technology
The ASP is controlled safely and accurately via the control panel located in the driver's cab. A graphic colour touch screen, and click-turn knobs and push buttons, allow quick and reliable operation of all work functions. Application-specific assignment of the push buttons allows the driver to concentrate exclusively on driving. The spray arm position is shown on the display panel so the driver has a full overview at all times and collisions can be easily avoided.
