Cold wave weather often leads to large-scale snow accumulation and icing on highways. Traditional snow removal methods (such as manual snow shoveling and ordinary spreaders) have problems such as low efficiency, incomplete ice layer removal, and slow traffic recovery. The FND series micro turbojet thermal snow removal vehicle developed by Suzhou Fanuodee Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd., as a high-tech equipment in the field of road maintenance machinery, has demonstrated efficient, intelligent, and multi-functional de-icing advantages in actual operations, becoming a key equipment for ensuring highway smoothness after cold waves.
It uses a turbojet engine to eject high-temperature (nozzle temperature 800℃, ground temperature 80-120℃), high-speed (level 8-10 gale), and high-pressure airflow to directly blow away snow, ice, and debris on the road surface. Cooperating with the rear-mounted snow melting spreader, it realizes "thermal blowing + spreading" collaborative operation, solving the pain point that traditional methods are difficult to quickly melt ice layers.
· Operation Efficiency: The dual turbojet engine has a thrust of 240 kg, capable of blowing away 100mm thick snow. The operation speed is 5-15km/h, and the wind coverage range is 5-8 meters. The hourly operation area is significantly higher than that of traditional equipment.
· Flexible Mobility: Based on a four-wheel drive pickup truck chassis, the front arm is detachable and supports four-dimensional movements: telescoping (1080mm left and right extension), lifting (140mm up and down adjustment), rotation (0-180°), and swinging (0-30° forward tilt), adapting to complex road conditions such as curves and bridges.
· Intelligent Control: Equipped with one-key retraction, one-key start, gear mode operation, and wireless remote control functions, it can be operated by a single person. The memory function of operation position and driving position improves the smoothness of continuous operation.
· Economy and Environmental Friendliness: It uses ordinary diesel as fuel, which is convenient to refuel. The average fuel consumption is about 300L/h (at maximum throttle), and the battery life is up to 3 hours (can continue to operate after a 20-minute pause), reducing the use cost compared to special fuel equipment. The snow melting spreader supports multiple materials such as snow melting agents, coarse salt, and dry sand, with adjustable spreading width and density, reducing the impact of excessive spreading on the environment.
On the main highways after cold waves, the turbojet snow blower operates at a speed of 10-15km/h. The high-temperature airflow quickly melts the surface snow, and the strong wind directly blows away the loose snow. A single operation can clean 6-12 meters wide road surface, effectively shortening the traffic closure time.
For ice layers on the road surface and compacted snow layers formed by vehicle rolling, the ground temperature of 80-120℃ can quickly soften the ice layer structure. Cooperating with the airflow impact of 240 kg thrust, it realizes the integrated operation of "melting - peeling - blowing away" of ice layers, avoiding damage to the road surface caused by traditional mechanical snow shoveling.
· Bridges and Ramps: The front arm can flexibly adjust the angle (0-30° forward tilt) to ensure that the airflow accurately covers the low-lying areas of the bridge deck and the icing areas of the ramps.
· Emergency Rescue: The detachable front arm design allows it to be used as an ordinary pickup truck to transport materials in idle time, and can be quickly assembled for snow removal in emergencies, realizing "one vehicle with multiple uses" and improving equipment utilization.
Combined with the rear-mounted snow melting spreader, after blowing snow, it synchronously spreads snow melting agents (hopper capacity 0.32m³). The spreading density is adjusted through the intelligent control system to prevent secondary icing, forming a closed-loop operation process of "thermal blowing snow removal - snow melting agent anti-icing" to ensure long-term smoothness of the road surface.
Ice breaking Record of Jiangxi Expressway Section: In December 2025, a cold wave hit the Yichun Expressway area, causing continuous freezing rain on the Yichun Bridge. The road surface formed a 10-15mm thick "ground penetrating armor" ice layer, which was difficult to remove with conventional snow removal equipment, resulting in a two-way traffic interruption of more than 8 hours. Suzhou Fanuodee Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd. urgently dispatched 2 FND series micro turbojet thermal snow removal vehicles to participate in the rescue:
· De-icing Efficiency: The operation team adopted the strategy of "dual-machine collaboration + zoned advancement". A single equipment advanced along the overtaking lane at a speed of 8km/h. The nozzle temperature of the turbojet engine reached 800℃, and the ground hot air temperature was maintained at 100-120℃. The ice layer quickly melted and cracked under the impact of high-temperature and high-speed airflow. The de-icing of a 3-kilometer section was completed within 2 hours, which was 4 times more efficient than traditional mechanical de-icing.
· Response to Complex Working Conditions: For areas prone to ice accumulation such as bridge expansion joints and guardrail roots, the equipment adjusted the front arm in four dimensions (180° left and right rotation, 140mm up and down lifting) to accurately align the air outlet with the gaps. The level 8 wind directly blew away the remaining ice, avoiding the hidden danger of secondary freezing.
· Multi-functional Collaboration: After de-icing, the rear-mounted snow melting spreader was activated to evenly spread environmentally friendly snow melting agents at a density of 30m³/h, with the spreading width controlled within 6 meters to ensure no residual snow or ice on the lane. The entire operation was completed by only 1 operator through wireless remote control, saving 50% of labor costs.
The FND series turbojet thermal snow removal vehicle has demonstrated three core advantages in various practical operations:
· Adaptability to Extreme Environments: Adopting a four-wheel drive pickup truck chassis, it maintains flexible mobility in low temperatures of -15℃ and road sections with 20cm snow accumulation. The detachable front arm design realizes dual functions of "emergency snow blowing + daily transportation", solving the problem of high idle rate of traditional equipment.
· Intelligent Safety Assurance: Equipped with a visual operation management system and remote GPS monitoring, the background real-time monitors engine temperature, fuel consumption, and operation progress. The one-key automatic fire extinguishing function quickly cuts off the oil circuit in case of abnormal turbojet pipeline, avoiding safety accidents.
· Low-cost Operation and Maintenance: It uses ordinary diesel as fuel, and 300L of fuel per hour can meet the continuous operation needs, reducing the use cost by 20% compared to imported equipment. Key components use imported hydraulic parts and sensors, with a failure rate of less than 0.5% per thousand hours. Cooperating with 24-hour after-sales response and lifetime maintenance services, it ensures efficient operation of the equipment throughout the year.
As a product shortlisted in the road maintenance equipment procurement list of multiple provinces, the "Fanuodee" brand turbojet snow blower has been recognized by users for its "high operation efficiency, easy operation, and fast after-sales response" (24-hour after-sales service + lifetime maintenance service). Especially in northern areas with heavy snow in winter, it is evaluated as the "main equipment for highway de-icing".
· Technological Innovation: Integrating turbojet engine technology and intelligent control, it promotes the upgrading of road maintenance machinery to "high efficiency and intelligence".
· Social Benefits: Shortening the time for highways to resume traffic after cold waves, reducing the risk of traffic accidents, and ensuring the safety of logistics and public travel.
The FND series turbojet snow blower has demonstrated significant advantages in highway pavement de-icing practice through the technical combination of "high-temperature airflow + intelligent control + multi-functional collaboration". Whether it is the removal of large-area snow accumulation, the treatment of hard ice layers, or the operation on complex road sections, it can efficiently complete the task. The practical case of Jiangxi Expressway has verified its emergency support capability in extreme weather. In the future, with the deepening of "industry-university-research" cooperation (the company cooperates with Chang'an University and other universities for research and development), and the upgrading of intelligent control systems and new energy power, this equipment is expected to further optimize energy consumption control, improve the level of automated operation, provide more reliable technical support for road emergency support in extreme weather, and become the core equipment for winter road maintenance.
