Industrial Cleaning for the Aerospace Industry

The aerospace industry demands the highest standards of cleaning and maintenance due to the critical nature of its components. The accumulation of contaminants such as oils, grease, combustion residues and foreign particles can affect the performance and safety of aircraft and space vehicles. Therefore, industrial cleaning plays a fundamental role in ensuring the operability and longevity of these systems.

Industrial cleaning in the aerospace industry is essential to ensure the safety, efficiency and longevity of aircraft and space vehicles. In this sector, the implementation of advanced cleaning methods is
fundamental for the maintenance and cleaning of aerospace components and parts.
 

Importance of Cleaning in the Aerospace Industry

Aircraft and space vehicles are exposed to extreme conditions, which makes industrial cleaning a key aspect in their maintenance. Some of the main reasons include:

• Safety: Contaminant buildup in critical systems such as engines, landing gear, and hydraulic components can compromise their operation and increase the risk of failure.
• Performance: A clean component operates more efficiently, reducing wear and improving engine aerodynamics and efficiency.
• Regulations and Certifications: The aerospace industry is highly regulated and requires rigorous cleaning processes to meet quality and safety standards.
• Component Durability: Effective removal of residue prolongs the life of parts, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Parts and Components Requiring Specialized Cleaning

Within aerospace and space maintenance, various parts and systems require thorough cleaning for proper operation:

• Jet engines and turbines: Removal of carbon, combustion residue, and oils.
• Landing gear: Cleaning of mechanical components and hydraulic actuators.
• Hydraulic and pneumatic systems: Valves, pipes and cylinders must be kept free of contamination.
• Electronic components and sensors: Removal of dust and microscopic residue.
• Metal panels and structures: Pickling and removal of oxides for preventive maintenance.
• Carbon fiber parts and composite materials: Cleaning without damage to structural components.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning is a highly efficient process that uses high-frequency sound waves to generate cavitation in a cleaning fluid. This cavitation removes contaminants from surfaces without damaging the materials.

Advantages:

1. Covers 100% of complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas.
2. Does not require mechanical contact, avoiding the risk of damage.
3. Reduces the use of aggressive chemicals.
4. Provides uniform and efficient cleaning.
