SMETS TECHNOLOGY is German based company designing, manufacturing and supplying highly innovative cleaning vehicles and services.
Based on more than 40 years of experience in maintenance of airports SMETS has developed ultra – high water pressure (UHWP) jetting technology and provides cleaning services of retexturing, derubberizing and demarking of airport and road asphalt and concrete surfaces all around the world.
SMETS – WATER JETTING SERVICES
Highly frequented airports have the problem that they only have very short cleaning time windows for cleaning and therefore need larger machines with higher capacities to remove the rubber on the runways quickly, efficiently and thoroughly.
SMETS will provide gentle care even for partly damaged runways and roads. It is possible since our jetting nozzles rotate much faster and the UHWP technology can operate with about 20 % lower pressure than our competitors. This means very obviously that SMETS machines have lower consumption of water and lower impact on your asphalt or concrete surface. You pay therefore less and achieve better service. It is simply physics, not marketing.
The result of service is perfect and it is no coincidence – simple control for machine operator, low risk for surface and the highest performance for civil or military customer. It is simple as it is.
SMETS´ cutting-edge machines perform professional cleaning services:
Segment of Ultra High Pressure Water (UHPW)
- Watter jetting between 700 – 2400 bar
- Rubber removal on runways
- Marking removal on roads and airports >> removal of traffic and airport signs made of paint and plastic (cold plastic and thermo plastic)
- Retexturing of surfaces >> increasing of friction values for renewal of anti-skid properties
Segment of High Pressure Water (HPW)
- Cleaning down to the pores of sensitive surface e.g. silent bitumen (190 bar)
- Cleaning of large area surfaces (190 bar)
- Oil spillage removal (250 bar)

SMETS – PURE TECHNOLOGY
SMETS company is a typical technological leader in ACG´s portfolio, who has invented many unique design features on its cleaning vehicles.
SMETS machines are like a smart puzzle – balanced for the best possible performance. All good from UHWP designs has been integrated and mistakes done in the technology by some competitors have been completely taken away. The outcome of service and performance is then very clear and respected.
SMETS ARC 3000 SZ® is at the moment the greatest airport cleaning vehicle in the world with 3000 mm of active „water jetting track”, equipped with huge 420 kW UHWP pump and 39 m³ water tank.
The ARC 3000®, with the largest tank capacity of any system available in the world, was originally designed and built for a huge airport in the UAE. One of the requirements was that the system should be able to work continuously for 3,5 hours (210 minutes) at a time.
With this system the powerful ultra high pressure pump is driven by a 500 kW auxiliary motor. All other sources are taken from a heavy PTO of the truck (tractor).
INTERESTED FOR A QUOTE
ACG, representative of SMETS´ contracting services, recommends airport and road operators ask for a quote and for testing service, depending on how big your cleaning project is.
Information needed for your Quotation is:
- Type of surface (concrete, asphalt, tarmac…)
- Area in square meters to be cleaned / type of contaminant (rubber, paint, plastics, retexturing)
- Actual friction coefficient in sectors for cleaning / friction coefficient to be achieved after cleaning
- Special information and requirements (warranty, damaged sectors etc.)
- Mobilization (location of source of water, dirt disposal and resulting costs)
SMETS will clean your airport or road surface using ARC jetting vehicles or OSC cleaning vehicles and can also measure friction coefficient of cleaned pavement using technology of CSR Friction Tester.
SMETS REFERENCES
SMETS company represents the world´s best German technology and quality of services. Big international airports, military airfields, roads authorities and municipalities and racing circuits are the most typical customers of SMETS. Let you see some “References”.
SMETS will handle derubberizing even up to 2 centimeters of carbonized rubber spots from runways but also road projects with removal of extremely hard cold plastics. SMETS vehicles can reliably and without interruption of work in very harsh climate conditions with high humidity and temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius.
