Runway Rubber Removal Equipment
Dedicated Power. Longer Life.
There are a number of reasons to use a water jetting system from NLB for your next pavement marking or runway rubber removal project. As a leading StarJet Units provider, we have dedicated pages to tell you all about it. Learn how water jetting beats other systems. Runway rubber removal equipment can minimize substrate damage, reduce labor costs, create a stronger bond for new coatings, and eliminate the need for harmful chemicals. Find out why the StarJet Units system beats the competitor’s offerings.
The dedicated pump engine means vastly improved production rates, and the ultra-high pressure water components have dramatically longer service lives. Become educated on the industry’s only pump replacement part guarantee. We’re so confident that our system is superior to the competition that we’ve put our money where our mouth is. See our industry-leading pump guarantee.
NLB custom-engineers complete StarJet systems to meet customer needs. Each incorporates all the UHP water jetting components (NLB rotating nozzle assembly and pump unit, water tank, and vacuum system) on a heavy-duty truck. The nozzles are mounted to the front of the truck and operated from the cabin. Key specifications are shown here, with some typical configurations. The driver hydraulically raises and lowers the nozzle assembly, which can be positioned to the left or right of the cab. A video system on the nozzle assembly lets him monitor progress from inside the cab while keeping his attention on the road.
As the most experienced manufacturer of StarJet Units — and the only one who designs and builds everything in-house — NLB is your best source of water jet systems for pavement applications. Please contact us for further details and application advice.

Maximize Coverage
Dual rotating heads maximize coverage, with 20-plus configurations that let you choose 8” to 24” paths for stripe removal and up to 27” for rubber removal.
Simplify maintenance
Maintenance is simplified throughout the system. Nozzle changes are easy, and an auto-service mode positions the head for easy access. The UHP pump features long-life packing (800 to 1,800 hrs.).
Robotic ARM operation
Robotic assembly positions heads (raise/lower/sweep/extend/retract/rotate/index) hydraulically and is operated from the cab or outside.
Control console
Ergonomic control console in the cab has a touch screen, joystick, and lighted switches. It includes adjustable skip line controls so the truck can rapidly advance between skips.
Ultra-Clean® pump
High-uptime Ultra-Clean® pump (up to 10 times higher than other pumps) consistently delivers 40,000 psi water with minimal parts wear and low operating cost.
Vacuum recovery
Vacuum recovery is simple and efficient to pick up water and debris. It is possible to run a full shift without having to dump the debris.
Monitoring
Real-time monitoring, front and rear, of removal area (and traffic) via high-resolution color video cameras. Features StarJet Assist tutorial that allows the operator to view onboard library videos based on system fault indicators.

NLB high-pressure pumps set the industry standard for their rugged reliability, and now you can put that reliability to work for your pavement marking or rubber removal project. In fact, we are so sure that our pump will perform day-in and day-out without any maintenance that we have created the industry’s only fluid end pump guarantee. Your StarJet® truck will not require a single pump replacement part, in the fluid end, during its first year of service. If it does, send the part back to us and we will provide a replacement part for free*.
Or take it to the next level. Purchase our 7-year pump maintenance package and we guarantee you will not have another fluid end related cost over the truck’s first seven years of operation. You receive a complete set of spare cartridge assemblies for your pump. If you experience any issues, simply replace the faulty cartridge assemblies with the spare set, and ship the faulty ones back to NLB. We will completely refurbish the components and quickly return them to you for future use.
Find the peace of mind that other truck operators have found when switching to the StarJet®. Unparalleled productivity and reliability, all backed by the only pump cost guarantee available.
