Aircraft Washing & Cleaning

The unique environment of fixed and rotary winged aircraft requires team supporting Isochronal (ISO) maintenance inspections to have the knowledge of the strict avionatics safety procedures of the following domains:

  1. Aircraft Towing.
  2. Ground handling.
  3. Aerospace ground equipment (AGE).
  4. Pre-wash preparation.
  5. Exterior washing.
  6. Interior vacuuming and cleaning.
  7. Intimate knowledge of the flight deck, cargo compartments, and the latrine and galley.
  8. Aircraft paint preparation and application.
  9. Lubrication of flight control surfaces, cargo/crew doors, and landing gear/doors.
  10. Work based on unique aircraft checklists.

Our teams cleaned and washed over a thousand aircrafts in the last ten years.

Dry Ice Blasting (Cryogenic Cleaning)

aircraft is based on the various properties of their metal alloys their sensitivity to standard detergents and degreasers. Many of the aircraft systems include substantial number of the electrical system which the existence of conductive water is unwanted.

Dry ice blasting can be used in a wide variety of applications ranging from sensitive cleaning situations, like removing flux from electronic circuit boards, to heavy sanitation jobs, like removing slag from automotive assembly rails.

Dry ice blasting has a wide range of applications in food processing, plastics and molded products industries, automotive, printing, aerospace, contract cleaning, general maintenance, and many other industries. Listed below are the primary benefits of cleaning with dry ice:

Faster & More Effective

Compared to manual cleaning with solvents and a wire brush, dry ice blasting can cut cleaning time, leading to reduced costs. With dry ice blasting, you can clean your equipment, molds, and dies online and “in place.” There is no longer any need to disassemble, mask, and then reassemble large complex machinery. Downtime is minimized, labor costs are reduced, and productivity increased.

A Dry Process

Since dry ice sublimates (turns into carbon dioxide gas) upon contact, the process is dry. Dry ice blasting is non-conductive and safe for electrical applications where using water may not be advisable or permitted.

No Media Waste

Frequently the “clean-up” from your current cleaning method is worse than the cleaning itself. Dry ice solves that problem by eliminating secondary waste. Dry ice pellets do the job and simply disappear, eliminating the high disposal costs associated with other materials.

Non-Abrasive

The non-abrasive nature of dry ice means that cleaning won’t damage sensitive parts or production equipment, extending the useful life of the equipment and minimizing the chances of defective products.

Environmentally Friendly & Safe

Dry ice cleaning is a “green” process that uses small pellets of recycled carbon dioxide to clean a surface. The pellets sublimate (turning from solid directly to gas) during the cleaning process. The carbon dioxide gas is absorbed by trees and plants and converted into carbon (plant growth) and oxygen. Dry ice blasting is really “green” recycling at its best.

Dry ice blasting does not contribute to greenhouse gasses and no hazardous wastes are produced. With basic safety precautions, the work process is safe. No ozone-depleting chemicals are used and there is no exposure to Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).
