Paint Removal

Prepared for Repair

Fuselage, Landing Gear and Wheel Paint Stripping

Aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) units have turned to more environmentally responsible processes for removing paint from aircraft surfaces, opting for chemical-free paint stripping by blasting techniques.

The process mostly serves for the preparation of surfaces for crack detection or prior to bonding.

Aircraft Rim Paint Removal

A nozzle manipulator with 3 movement axes leads one blast nozzle over the inside and outside contour of the rotating workpiece. The movement pattern is part of the blasting programmme.

Fuselage Paint Stripping


Paint is removed in blastrooms and the nozzles can be manually or automatically operated. In the development of these solutions, advanced software is used to simulate the process, evaluate the air pressure, evaluate the plastic media flow and optimise the nozzle design.

Paint Removal and Repair In-Situ


For maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) in-situ, a closed circuit blast machine can be used for paint removal and other blast cleaning applications.
