Photo Release -- Nilfisk-Advance Technologies is Releasing the Cyclone 4006
Airport Maintenance Machine

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When an airplane lands,
the burst of smoke is rubber burning off the tires. Landing a plane at 240 km/h
(140 mph) is a serious business and landing it on a clean, non-slippery runway
is crucial. But the landing in itself makes the surface slippery by leaving a
trail of burning rubber from the tires. In a busy airport this quickly produces
up to a 1 centimeter slippery rubber surface on a runway. This rubber needs to
come off to ensure safety. But how do you remove rubber that has been burned
into asphalt or concrete?

Nilfisk-Advance Technologies has the answer and is now releasing the Cyclone
4006 Airport Maintenance machine to the global market. The Cyclone 4006 is
designed specifically for airport runway rubber and can also be used for paint
line removal when paint lines need to be removed or renovated.

"The Cyclone 4006 is the most dramatic advancement in the history of Airport
Runway Maintenance," says Jorgen Jensen, President and CEO of Nilfisk-Advance
Group. "It's a technological breakthrough, cleaning the runway in one pass
leaving a clean and dry runway. And this is even done without any hazardous
chemicals -- simply by the use of wind and leaving no discharge to the
environment."

A category four Cyclone storm

The heart of Cyclone is the multi-patented cleaning head with built-in turbine
fins. These turbine fins produce airflows in excess of 135 miles per hour. The
combination of this air movement, mixed with the removed debris, has an effect
of a category four Cyclone storm moving across the surface which effectively
cleans the surface without damage. "Designed specifically for Airport
applications, the Cyclone 4006 is the most effective runway maintenance system
made in the world today," says Richard Kotch, General Manager of Nilfisk-Advance
Technologies. "There is no comparison. We have great expectations to this new
technology and even though it is made for for Airport Maintenance, I am sure
that it will soon be used by road construction and road maintenance companies
where very efficient hard surface cleaning is needed."

Backed by the strength of the 100 year old Nilfisk-Advance Group, the Cyclone
4006 is now available for worldwide sales and distribution.

You can meet Nilfisk-Advance Technologies at "inter airport Europe," 6-9 October
2009, at the Munich Trade Fair Centre, Germany.
