Cleaning lamps on the runway

What can Flancco do for your industry?

Airport lighting must be perfectly visible under all conditions. Even light pollution can significantly reduce visibility, posing risks to pilots and airport personnel. By using dry ice blasting, these lights not only remain clean, but also intact and safe to use.

Flancco offers airports a reliable and efficient cleaning solution that can be deployed without disassembly or lengthy interruptions. Our cleaning of runway lights with dry ice blasting ensures bright lighting, increased safety and longer fixture life.

Runway lights play a crucial role in aviation safety and must be bright and highly visible at all times, regardless of weather conditions. Over time, these lights can become contaminated by rubber residue from aircraft tires, dust, oil, mud and other deposits, reducing their visibility and effectiveness. Traditional cleaning methods, such as high-pressure cleaning or chemical solvents, can cause damage to the lamp housing and wiring, and often require lengthy maintenance work.

Dry ice blasting offers an efficient, non-abrasive and environmentally friendly solution for runway lamp cleaning without water, chemicals or physical abrasion. This ensures maximum light output and increases safety during takeoff and landing procedures.
