Advanced Technologies in Aerospace Parts Cleaning
Aerospace parts cleaning relies on advanced technologies to ensure that every component meets the high standards for safe and efficient operation. Niagara Systems incorporates state-of-the-art methods into our cleaning machines to provide superior results for aerospace cleaning services. Here are some key technologies we utilize.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Aerospace ultrasonic cleaning is a highly effective method for cleaning intricate and hard-to-reach areas of aerospace components. This technology employs high-frequency sound waves to create cavitation bubbles in a cleaning solution.
These bubbles implode with immense force, dislodging contaminants from parts’ surfaces and internal passages without causing damage. Ultrasonic cleaning is particularly beneficial for cleaning parts with complex geometries, such as turbine blades and fuel injectors.
High-Pressure Spray Systems
Our cleaning machines feature high-pressure spray systems that use jets of cleaning solution to remove contaminants. These systems deliver precise and powerful streams of cleaning agents, effectively removing dirt, grease, and other residue from the surface of aerospace parts.
The high-pressure sprays ensure thorough cleaning, especially for larger components like airframes and engine housings.
Immersion Tank Cleaning
Immersion tank cleaning involves submerging parts in a tank filled with a specialized cleaning solution. This method allows for the complete coverage and cleaning of parts, ensuring all contaminants are removed.
The tanks can be equipped with agitation and heating systems to enhance the cleaning process. This technology is ideal for cleaning parts with complex shapes and internal cavities, such as hydraulic systems and gearboxes.
