Blast cabinets upgrade aircraft maintenance facilities

Two custom-designed blast cabinets from Hodge Clemco have upgraded surface preparation on aircraft components at Kearsley Airways, a leading aerospace repair specialist. The cabinets provide high work-rates, close abrasive control and convenient operation for removing surface finishes on undercarriage systems before inspection.

Well-illuminated chambers include rotating work-tables that can carry 250kg loads and link to external tracks for easy loading and unloading. Blast guns and turntables are handled through glove ports, with a foot-valve and a regulator controlling abrasive flow. A grading unit returns re-usable media to a storage hopper, and exhaust air passes through dust extractors with automatic cartridge cleaning.
