Aircraft, Aviation & Aerospace Industrial Parts Tunnel Washing Systems

This industrial washing system is custom-designed and manufactured by GTK for aerospace engine component suppliers, serving as an automated cleaning solution specifically engineered for engine blades, housings, turbines, gear units, gear and other mechanical components.

Engine components are high-precision machined parts. After efficient cleaning by this system, they can be directly transferred to the subsequent full inspection and measurement process, ensuring that every single component meets strict cleanliness and dimensional accuracy requirements.

Robots realize automatic loading and unloading of engine components. The equipment performs continuous chamber operations including cleaning, rinsing, air cutting and drying, completing the entire cleaning and drying process in a automated manner to thoroughly remove all types of contaminants generated during production.

Key Design and Manufacturing Features

  1. High degree of automation: No manual operation is required during component transfer, effectively preventing defective products caused by human factors. Robots conduct loading and unloading at a fixed station, which saves labor costs, avoids direct human contact with components, ensures the consistency of product cleaning processes, and completely eliminates secondary contamination.
  2. According to the actual needs of customers’ factories, GTK adopts a two-layer vertical structure design: The upper layer implements a continuous process of spray cleaning → spray rinsing → air cutting, and the lower layer is dedicated to the drying process, significantly reducing the equipment’s floor space.
  3. After cleaning and unloading, robots directly transfer the components to the automatic measurement station, achieving a seamless connection between cleaning and inspection.

The cleaning fluid at the cleaning station adopts a two-stage filtration method combined with a magnetic separation device:

  • Primary filtration: Filter basket with composite stainless steel mesh, filtration precision of 100 mesh;
  • Secondary filtration: Bag filter with filtration precision ≤20μm;
  • Iron chips in the cleaning fluid are adsorbed via magnetic separation to maintain the cleanliness of the fluid.
  • Operators can regularly clean the filter components and replace filter elements according to the prompts on the equipment display screen.
