One blocked waste line can ground an aircraft.
AOG costs can run into thousands per hour. The cleaning that prevents it costs a fraction of that.
Toilet pans, waste tanks, pump housings and valve bodies build up scale, urine salts and biological films. Chemical soaking removes deposits but doesn’t remove the rough, pitted surface beneath, so components re-soil within months. Manual scrubbing struggles with complex geometries and exposes technicians to biohazardous material.
Wet blasting (also known as vapor blasting) cleans, descales and refines the surface in one enclosed operation. The smoother finish gives deposits less to grip, so components stay cleaner for longer between overhaul visits. Contamination is captured in the water stream and filtered out as a solid for safe, documented disposal.
Why the Vapormatt Puma suits this work
The stainless steel cabinet keeps operators fully shielded as they work through fitted gloves. A 1100 x 1100 x 1200mm working area and wide side door make bulky components easy to load. Adjustable blast pressure, combined with the right media, protects thermoplastic liners. Specified with a moving bed filter, the Puma separates contaminated waste from the water so it can be collected and disposed of safely.
