Aerospace Engine HP Stator Wet Blast Cleaning
Wet blasting, Also known as Vapor blasting on aerospace high-pressure (HP) stators and other engine components is a critical process in the maintenance of aero engines. Here's how the wet blasting process can be applied to HP stators and aero components in the aerospace industry:
Surface Cleaning and Preparation:
Deburring and Edge Radiusing:
Surface Finishing:
Removal of Coatings and Paints:
Corrosion Removal and Prevention:
Non-Destructive Surface Treatment:
Precision Cleaning of Internal Passages:
These processes are often performed manually taking many hours to complete. At Vixen we have automated solutions for your MRO facility and processes to add efficiency and consistency that is repeatable every hour of every day at an achievable investment point. Save manual hours with automation that adds process control.
Overall, wet blasting offers a reliable, versatile and viable financial solution for cleaning, deburring, surface finishing, and corrosion protection of aerospace engine components, contributing to the overall performance, reliability, and safety of aircraft engines.

    Sreten, what media are you using. I've had my Vixen 915 for about 3 weeks now. It came with a bag of glass 100/150 media which is fantastic on alloy but not very good at removing any paint & slow on rusty steel parts. I was hoping to also use it for refurbishing alloy wheels too. It's a really magic machine but I do think it's important to use the correct media for the job
