In the aerospace industry, every single engine component plays a critical role in performance and safety. When an aerospace engine OEM sought to improve their cleaning process for turbine engine components, we recognized an opportunity to enhance their efficiency and productivity.
The client, an aerospace engine OEM, faced the challenge of removing multiple contaminants during their maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) process. Specifically, they needed to eliminate the scrub line from turbine engine components.
With a commitment to providing reliable and high-performing engines, they sought improvements in their cleaning process to streamline operations and reduce manual labor. Our recommended process adjustments, combined with our dedicated on-floor support, led to significant improvements in cleaning results for the customer.
The customer’s existing process involved manual hand scrubbing of the parts. After hand scrubbing, a single rinse was performed for 5 minutes at room temperature, followed by air drying. The process was time-consuming and labor-intensive, with workers spending approximately 45 minutes scrubbing each part.
The customer recognized the need for a more efficient and effective cleaning solution. No specific chemistry concentration, washer type, temperature, or time parameters were provided, indicating a lack of standardized cleaning procedures. They had just installed an immersion tank with ultrasonic agitation and needed Brulin’s help to put them on the right path forward.
To address the customer’s challenges and enhance their cleaning process, we recommended the following adjustments:
