Aerospace Industry

Suitable Applications

In the aerospace industry, where precision, safety, and compliance are critical, maintaining clean and well-treated surfaces is essential to ensure optimal performance and durability of components and equipment. At LPC Engineering, we offer advanced cleaning and surface treatment technologies—laser, plasma, and cryogenic—that deliver highly effective, non-abrasive solutions to meet the specific demands of aerospace manufacturing and maintenance.

01

Cleaning of turbine engines, compressors, and precision parts

Removal of contaminants like carbon deposits, grease, and corrosion from turbine blades, compressors, and fuel system components to enhance performance and ensure compliance with safety standards.
02

Preparation of surfaces for coating or bonding

Ensuring that surfaces are perfectly clean and prepared for the application of specialized coatings or bonding materials, such as thermal protection systems or corrosion-resistant layers.
03

Maintenance of aerospace ground support equipment (GSE)

Cryogenic cleaning is ideal for maintaining GSE, including cleaning tarmac vehicles, hydraulic systems, and storage tanks without causing wear or corrosion.
04

Spacecraft and satellite component cleaning

Sensitive aerospace parts used in spacecraft, satellites, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) benefit from our gentle cleaning techniques, ensuring the highest levels of performance in extreme conditions.

High Precision for Sensitive Components

Aerospace components, from turbine blades to fuel systems, require meticulous care during cleaning to prevent any surface degradation. Our laser and plasma cleaning technologies offer precision cleaning at the microscopic level, ensuring that contaminants like carbon deposits, corrosion, and coatings are removed without damaging or altering the integrity of delicate parts.

Non-Destructive and Eco-Friendly

Our methods are completely non-abrasive and chemical-free, making them ideal for aerospace applications where materials like titanium, aluminium, and composites must be preserved. This also eliminates the risk of introducing harmful chemicals into the production environment or damaging the structural integrity of components.

Extended Component Lifespan

With traditional cleaning methods, wear and tear can reduce the lifespan of expensive aerospace parts. Our advanced technologies ensure that components are cleaned without abrasives, helping to maintain the original surface quality, reducing fatigue, and prolonging operational cycles. This leads to fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs.

Effective Surface Treatment for Coating Applications

Cryogenic cleaning and plasma surface treatment also play a crucial role in preparing surfaces for coatings and treatments used in aerospace. Whether for painting, bonding, or applying anti-corrosion layers, our methods ensure that surfaces are prepared to the highest standard, improving adhesion and ensuring uniform coating performance.
