SOLLAU is a Czech designer, manufacturer and supplier of various magnetic products for magnetic separation and metal detection and the world’s leading innovator of the magnetic sweepers for large grounds.
ACG is a long term partner of SOLLAU assisting in innovative co-designing of the aviation products.
MSA 3000 / 9000 – GLADIATOR
MSA 9000 „Gladiator” is the greatest magnetic sweeper in the world, specialized heavy duty equipment used for mitigation of metal FOD, optimized for the air forces and international airports, with maximum hourly performance of 414 100 m2.
EXTREMELY POWERFUL neodymium magnets embedded in the magnetic housing in large quantity.
HIGH CLEANING PERFORMANCE due to high sweeping speed of up to 45 km/h and more than 3 meters of width (GLADIATOR MSA 3000) or more than 9 meters of active magnetic width in case of triple hitch model (GLADIATOR MSA 9000).
MSA 9000 will clean runway of a big international airports in 2 – 3 hours only. Our competitors need couple of times more time because of lower sweeping speed, weaker magnets (no neodymium) and because of missing design features allowing MSA fast and simple demagnetizing cycles.
MODULAR DESIGN CONCEPT (manual >> semiautomatic >> automatic operation) respecting customer´s budget, many optional modules including GPS data logger.
MSA GLADIATOR – DESIGN FEATURES
MSA sweeper are designed to dispose FOD more comfortably and with much higher efficiency, because of large FOD CONTAINERS and existence of FULLY AUTOMATIC DEMAGNETIZING CYCLE.

MSA GLADIATOR – BENEFITS FOR CUSTOMERS
o efficient equipment for metal FOD mitigation
o cleaning of airports, roads, racing circuits, testing polygons, ports, parking lots, cycle tracks, industrial zones, dumps etc.
o irreplaceable equipment especially after sweeping with steel brushes, shot blasting with steel abrasives, milling, grinding when metal impurities are stuck in macrotexture in large quantities
o cleaning of any paved surfaces incl. with panels, grooving, micro-cracks or with released expansion joints
o cleaning of any unpaved surfaces like grassy or gravel runways
METAL DEBRIS (FOD) – UNDERESTIMATED PHENOMENON
Metal FOD objects (“foreign object damage / debris”) pose potentially high safety risk. FOD is permanently present on any surface and the operators shall aim at systematic mitigation of FOD amount on acceptable safety level. FOD annual aviation costs reach up to $13 billion of direct and indirect costs. For more see FOD THREATS PRESENTATION
MS 2000 / 3000 – Falcon
SOLLAU produces also MS FALCON – smart affordable magnetic sweepers, see for more information.
Magnetic separators
SOLLAU produces also separators and various magnetic products as follows:
Magnetic separators for solid and powder mixtures
