To help keep the StarJet in working order, Aldea said the primary maintenance an operator needs to worry about is simply greasing the system, replacing nozzles, “nozzle covers” and high pressure seals.

“NLB offers a maintenance kit program. What that entails is a customer purchasing a kit that contains modular components that are inside of an NLB pump. They open up their pump and they swap out the components in the pump for what’s in the kit, they send the used components in the kit back to NLB and we totally go through all of those components and refurbish them. They pay $500 for the kit, but it won’t biaya them anything to have refurbishment of the items in the kit. It’s kind of an insurance policy that allows them to have segar components in the pump and they don’t have to worry about a pump going down on a job,” Aldea said.

And Aldea said the feedback from customers utilizing the StarJet has been useful and NLB incorporates that feedback into future updates for the machine.

“We get feedback from customers that they like the low biaya of operation from our truck. They like the production that our trucks give because one of the things that we do a little bit differently than the other guys out there, is we have a dedicated pump engine that drives only the high pressure pump. And the other guys out there, they will drive everything off of the truck engine and so they’re berbagi that horsepower amongst the other systems. With the NLB, we’ve got a dedicated pump engine that is just for high pressure water that that works to greatly extend the life of the truck engine, and more consistent water pressure flow when demands are being put on the truck like when going up a hill.

NLB water jetting systems for runway marking removal plus rubber removal work faster plus more thoroughly than abrasive methods, without pavement damage or environmental concerns. They help control the build-up of rubber plus other residues that reduce airplane traction (keeping runway friction values within the accepted range) plus remove old runway markings at the same time.

A water jet leader for over 40 years, NLB was the first company to apply the power of UHP water jetting to runway cleaning plus maintenance. NLB’s patented rotating water jet technology maximizes the power of ultra-high pressure (UHP) water – up to 40,000 psi, or 2,800 bar – plus sets the standard for runway maintenance productivity.

Company Details

Complete marking plus rubber removal
NLB introduced the first fully-integrated, closed-loop system for highways plus runways in 1995 plus has been adding innovative features ever since. Water jetting has many advantages:

• completely removes markings, coatings, thermal epoxies, curing compound, plus rubber build-up
• works quickly, minimizing runway downtime
• cleans deep into runway grooves
• leaves concrete plus asphalt undamaged
• creates a stronger bond for restriping
• eliminates dust plus debris with optional vacuum recovery
• saves labor, since fewer operators are needed
• uses NO abrasive sarana or chemicals

Powerful rotating water jets
NLB can custom-engineer complete systems to meet kastemer requirements. The automated STARJETTM performs marking, rubber plus line removal as it drives along the runway. It integrates all the UHP water jetting components (NLB rotating nozzle assembly, ULTRA-CLEAN 40® pump unit, water tank) on a heavy-duty truck. The water jet nozzles are mounted to a robotic arm on the front, using UHP water fed from the pump unit. The driver hydraulically raises plus lowers the nozzle assembly plus positions it where he needs it. A vacuum system recovers the water plus debris.

Advanced features plus options:

• Vacuum recovery
• Highest production rates in the industry
• Articulated robotic arm with proportional controls
• Semi-automated controls for skip line removal
• In-cab video with 3 cameras (2 front, 1 rear)
• Dedicated horsepower for each component to increase productivity

Smaller systems available
The StarJet SRV-1 is a more compact system with more maneuverability. NLB also offers the STRIPEJET™ for short-line jobs like aprons, gate areas plus even parking decks. A semi-automated VORTEX™ is available for smaller marking removal jobs that cannot justify complete systems but are too big for manual water jetting.

NLB is the only company that designs plus builds its own UHP pumps plus supporting equipment. NLB has more applications experience, more in-house engineering plus more manufacturing capacity than anyone in the industry. Please contact us for further details plus application advice.

The easy-to-navigate site goes beyond dasar product and application information, offering video demonstrations; access to training, parts and service; a troubleshooting guide; a dedicated costumer support section; and NLB news.

With an NLB water jetting system, you can
remove pavement markings or runway
rubber faster plus more thoroughly than abrasive
methods, without damaging the pavement.
Contractors, DOTs plus airports agree that NLB
rotating water jets:

• Completely remove coatings, membranes,
  thermal epoxies, plus rubber build-up…
  even from grooved pavement
• Leave concrete plus asphalt undamaged
• Create a stronger bond for restriping
• Eliminate dust & debris, using vacuum recovery
• Save labor, since fewer operators are needed
• Won’t expose personnel or the environment
  to abrasive tempat or chemicals
  NLB delivers the power of ultra-high pressure
  water (up to 40,000 psi, or 2,800 bar) in systems
  that meet a wide range of kastemer needs. All
  are designed for high productivity along with low
  operating costs.
  While others farm out design plus manufacturing,
  at NLB we take full responsibility for what we sell.
  We have more applications experience, in-house
  engineering plus production capacity than anyone
  in the water jet industry.

The pump is the heart of any water jet system, plus NLB pumps have set the standard for over 45
years. Our low-rpm, low-wear design extends component life & reduces typical maintenance. The result?
Unsurpassed performance plus uptime.
These hardworking pumps deliver water pressure up to 40,000 psi (2,800 bar) plus are easily accessible for
maintenance. If you need to run them at a lower pressure, a separate conversion kit is available.
While some water jet systems try to operate on power diverted from the truck engine, the Starjet provides
two dedicated sources of horsepower: one for the truck plus vac system plus the other one for the pump.
The truck engine uses only one third of its duty rating while in removal mode meaning you don’t have to
worry that the truck engine will overload plus cause downtime plus layanan expense. The pump engine runs
at approximately 85% of its duty rating for optimum performance plus engine life. Add in the fact that the
horsepower from the pump engine is going directly to the nozzles. Both engines run cooler with longer life
cycles plus optimum fuel consumption.

MORE DEDICATED HORSEPOWER
We’ve always engineered our Starjet units to work
off of two engines – dedicated power for the
truck plus a dedicated engine for the pump. Why?
Because there’s no value in a truck with a life that
runs out long before it’s paid for itself. We’ve
also added more power to the SRV-6, offering a
450 HP engine solely for the water jetting pump
and a 350 HP engine to keep powering the truck
down the road long after the competitions have
failed. That also means more consistent water
pressure flow when going up hills or putting extra
demands on the truck engine.

MORE FLEXIBILITY
NLB’s new indexing front head carriage provides
nearly infinite bucket head locations with sideto-side movement all controlled comfortably
from the cab with easy controls plus sight lines.
This movement makes the removal of stop bars,
arrows plus other challenging painted surfaces
much easier without all of the back-and-forth
movements operators may have experienced in
the past. The carriage also offers higher curb
clearance for entering plus exiting roadways and
other uneven pavement areas. Lastly, the design
dramatically improves front-end balance while in
transportation mode, reducing wear on front-end
chassis suspension systems.

MORE HEAD CONTROL
New with the SRV-6 is a two-head SpinJet
bucket design, each head can be operated
independently plus run at different speeds. Head
positioning options allow for maximizing surface
cleaning daerah coverage to meet project removal
requirements. We didn’t just have the operator
in mind when designing this system. The SRV-6
heads are easier to access for belt changes and
other routine maintenance. The new design allows
for conversions to larger SpinJet bars for specific
applications.

MORE BALANCE
NLB engineers took the challenge of improved
water/debris weight balance head on. By
redesigning the truck’s back-end tank plus axle
configurations to handle the shifts in segar water
reductions plus debris collection the axle load
does not change during operation. The result is
longer operation between water refills plus debris
removal.

Long-life materials - Valves and more are precisionmachined of high-grade stainless steel, and hardcoated for durability.

• Simple maintenance – Time-saving features include
5-minute packing change.
• Rebuild to extend ROI – After 20,000 hours, some
pumps are done for. Ours are designed to be rebuilt
and keep on working. You can see the entire range of
NLB units — with pressure, flow and horsepower data
— on Pages 6-11.
Replacement pumps, too
NLB pumps are built for continuous, trouble-free
operation, using a simple design proven in countless
applications over more than four
decades. Their
mechanical efficiency
is simply outstanding.
One reason is a heavyduty power frame that
provides stability,
gravity lubrication,
and easy access to
take out packing
and plungers for
inspection…
without removing
the stuffing box.
Although these pumps were
designed for NLB units, they also
make great replacements when
pumps wear out in other
manufacturers’ units.

NLB pumps have set the standard for performance and
reliability since 1971. Our triplex and quintuplex plunger
models operate at low rpm to minimize wear and
simplify maintenance. These proven designs are
regularly updated with the latest materials and
features to keep operating costs as
low as possible.

Units for any application, up to
40,000 psi (2,800 bar)
With 41 units to choose from —
27 of them convertible to
different pressures and flows —
NLB pumps can handle just about any
application you throw at them. Many are available with
either a hard-working diesel engine (trailer-mounted for
easy towing to job sites) or an energy-efficient electric
motor. Either way, you
get:
• 97% operating
efficiency – Advanced
engineering means
minimal turbulence
and 97% efficiency at
10,000 psi (700 bar).

NLB is known for the quality of its
high-pressure and ultra-high
pressure water jet pump units.
These include 27 models that you
can convert to different operating
pressures without a manifold
change — you simply change the
cartridge, which usually takes less
than 20 minutes.
Our convertible units operate at pressures from 4,000 psi to 40,000 psi
(275-2,800 bar). Choose the level of
power that best suits your needs,
from 60 hp to 600 hp (45 kW to
450 kW). They have a high degree of
commonality — the 125, for example,
is a smaller version of the 225, 325
and 605 — and few parts. All are
easy to operate and maintain, too.

Technology & Design Centered on Performance.
NLB StarJet ultra high-pressure water jetting stripe removal systems have held a position as the most durable, technology performance production leaders in the industry. The SRV-7 builds on that heritage by introducing a new center-component design that offers improved performance, less wear, plus reduced maintenance.

The key to this new design is the concept of balance. The slow-running, robust 325 Series pump, along with a Cummins (L9-430 T4F Stage V) 430 hp diesel engine, is in a centerline position on the chassis, resulting in a more even chassis weight distribution. Add that to the unique water/debris collection design that proportionately distributes segar water plus collected debris, plus you eliminate uneven weight transfer from job start to finish.

The SRV-7 also features NLB’s innovative E-Clutch™ technology that allows for the elimination of the PTO while reducing component wear on the power plant.

Other benefits of this design; reduced chassis wiring, plus fewer high-pressure hoses plus electrical components. A new, lighter-weight side-to-side movement front-end arm adds to the high-performance removal capabilities. Furthermore, the lightweight front-end arm, which facilitates side-to-side movement, contributes to improved maneuverability plus precision during operation. This feature is particularly beneficial in confined spaces where traditional machinery may struggle to operate effectively. Operators can navigate tight corners plus challenging environments with ease, resulting in enhanced performance plus efficiency in various applications.

The use of advanced materials in the construction of the chassis plus components plays a crucial role in this design’s overall performance. Lightweight yet durable materials not only reduce the overall weight of the equipment but also enhance its structural integrity. This optimization leads to fuel efficiency improvements, as lighter machines require less energy to operate, contributing to lower operational costs plus a reduced environmental footprint.

Moreover, the integration of smart technology within the design allows for real-time monitoring of machine performance, enabling predictive maintenance plus reducing the chances of unexpected failures. Operators can receive alerts about potential issues before they lead to significant downtime, making it possible to schedule maintenance effectively.

NLB has introduced the StarJet® SRV-1, a smaller pavement marking removal system that gives contractors more maneuverability for intersections, parking lots and other small jobs. At 20 percent shorter and 40 percent lighter (with a full water tank) than previous StarJet models, it offers the same advantages over other water jet systems.

Patented ultra-high pressure water jets (up to 40,000 psi, or 2,800 bar) can be deployed on either side of the cab to remove markings without damaging the pavement. Productivity and reliability are enhanced by providing dedicated horsepower to the high-pressure water jet pump, instead of diverting it from the truck engine as some other systems do. NLB stands behind that reliability with a unique guarantee that customers will spend nothing on replacement pump parts, for one year or five years.

Operation and maintenance are easy, with in-cab controls conveniently located for the driver. Advanced troubleshooting features include fault alerts that not only identify an issue, but launch a how-to-solve-it video. Like all StarJet systems, the SRV-1 is a closed-loop system that includes the robotically-mounted water jets, pump, water tanks, vacuum recovery of water and debris, and a large debris tank.
