Dry ice blasting is revolutionising the aviation industry by offering a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly cleaning solution for aircraft maintenance and manufacturing. With its ability to clean delicate components without causing damage, this innovative process is becoming the preferred choice for airlines, maintenance teams, and aerospace manufacturers worldwide.
Non-Abrasive Cleaning
- Dry ice blasting is gentle on sensitive materials like composites, aluminium, and painted surfaces.
- It effectively removes contaminants without scratching or damaging critical components such as turbine blades, landing gear, and avionics.
Environmentally Friendly
- No water, harsh chemicals, or solvents are used in the process.
- It produces zero secondary waste or harmful runoff, aligning with the aviation industry's sustainability goals.
Reduces Downtime
- Dry ice blasting allows for in-place cleaning of components like engines and landing gear without requiring disassembly.
- Faster cleaning processes minimise aircraft downtime and improve operational efficiency.
Versatile Applications
- Suitable for cleaning a wide range of contaminants, including grease, carbon deposits, adhesives, rubber skid marks, and environmental residues.
- Can be used on various parts of an aircraft, such as:
- Engines and turbines
- Landing gear systems
- Aircraft hulls
- Interior floor panels
- Avionics and electrical systems
Enhanced Safety and Precision
- The moisture-free process ensures safety when cleaning electrical components or electronics.
- A cleaner surface improves visibility during inspections, enabling better detection of potential issues.
Cost-Effective Maintenance
- Reduces labour costs by eliminating the need for manual scrubbing or chemical treatments.
- Extends the lifespan of components by preventing abrasive wear or chemical damage.
