The average engine requires a complete overhaul every 12,000 hours. This overhaul is a very complicated process and every part of the engine is given a thorough evaluation and rebuilding. Considering the very high cost of air craft engine, the best in maintenance is essential. A good overhaul depends upon a thorough cleaning. An engine is completely disassembled and may go through several cleaning processes in preparation for overhaul. These engines run on kerosene fuel. A soap solution and high pressure washer are used to remove the carbon build up from the kerosene fuel. In some cases of unusually severe carbon buildup, a hot alkaline soak is also necessary. Silicon is used as a sealant during assembly of engines. When the engine is disassembled for overhaul, the old silicon must be removed from the engine parts.
PressureJet high pressure washer is used along with a silicone stripper solution and soak. We have supplied various pumps for this application to various clients including M/s. Indian Airlines Ltd. (Kolkata)
