\u201cAviation is the branch of engineering that is least forgiving of mistakes.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Physicist Freeman Dyson. Even small traces of residue, grease, or grime on parts used to build and repair aircraft \u2013 from jets to rockets \u2013 can cause a catastrophic explosion. Therefore, these parts must be routinely and thoroughly cleaned to restore them to their original condition. However, precision cleaning and handling of these parts can become labor-intensive, lengthy, and quite costly.<\/p>\n

With ultrasonic cleaning technologies, aircraft and rocket parts from small and lightweight to large and heavy are being cleaned in just minutes by using sound waves that gently remove particles and oily residues. This process restores the parts for flight and increases safety for the industry. In addition, handling time is reduced, allowing for significant savings for aerospace manufacturers and the firms providing ultrasonic cleaning services to them.<\/p>\n

Outsourcing cleaning<\/h5>\n

For many aerospace manufacturers, maintaining a clean room and staffing it with trained technicians is expensive \u2013 especially if they don\u2019t have a large quantity of parts that require regular cleaning. In addition, technicians often lack the experience to properly clean parts and equipment, so many turn to precision cleaning companies to do it for them. Even large aerospace manufacturers may outsource the cleaning process to be assured parts are being cleaned and handled by experts.<\/p>\n
