In France, Wheelabrator carries out a big part of its turnover with the aeronautics, which it acts manufacturers (Airbus, Snecma, General Electric, Rolls Royce...), centers of maintenance (MTU), airline companies or subcontractors, in particular in Asia.
Aeronautics is a sector in which the applications of shot-blasting, carried out by compressed-air machines, are very varied. They concern, for example, the shot-blasting of prestressed (or shot-peening) which improves the fatigue strength of the parts engine, the machine elements, the landing gears, the elements of structure such as the members and the panels of wings of plane also formed by prestressing.

RANGE MP: UNDER THE SIGN OF THE PERFORMANCE

Marketed under the mark Sisson Lehmann, range MP goes from MP 800 (for parts 800 mms in diameter) until MP 20.000 (for panels of 20 m length wings). They are equipment of utmost precision. The displacement of the tube of shot-blasting, handled by robotized systems or with numerical control, offers a level of precision lower than the 1/10 Misters.
An accurate check of the parameters of projection is carried out thanks to measurements of the flow of the projected shot and regulation of the pressure. Systems of supervision allow an optimal control of the process with the edition for each part treated of reports/ratios of quality including of the statistics on the stability of the equipment.
