Engine bearings cleaning with an automated process
Tempo Aeromatic is the first ever dedicated mainshaft engine bearing cleaning line in the world. Designed and manufactured specifically for cleaning large aircraft bearings that need precise cleaning.
Designed to process bearing components, regardless of design or size, through a 5 stage fully automated washing, cleaning and drying process that allows the bearing components to be accurately inspected to Engine OEM and/or customer requirements.
Benefits of automated bearing cleaning line
- Faster cleaning – Automatic cleaning processes nearly 10 times more bearings per hour than manually cleaned.
- Zero rework due to automation*
- Higher RTS rate* – A 15% improvement in RTS material: Reduced scrap rates results in less demand for new scrap replacement material which benefits in lower cost of overhaul, reduced inventory requirements(improved cash flow), shorter TAT’s and improved asset utilization.
- OEM compliant with constant quality
- Fully automated cleaning and factory 4.0 compliant
- Reduced cycle time by 68% – cost-efficient cleaning*
- Compliant to OEM requirements with full process traceability
* based on the survey conducted by Daes Group, findings are from over 20 major global engine overhaul facilities.
Reliability and fast production with lower costs
The FinnSonic process is fully automatic from the loading to unloading; smart process control that allows a selection of process parameters, full process traceability including automatic chemistry analysis and auto adjustment control based on usage.
State of the art ultrasonic technology makes the cleaning process sustainable and also safe for the workers.
The potential savings from bearing rework varies from 53-82% of the new bearing depending on cost, size and complexity of the bearing. Life of the reworked bearing ranges from 87-99% of the new bearing.
Safe and sustainable way of cleaning bearings
The cleaning system, and its high-quality cleaning process, facilitates a strong and robust bearing management program. It’s allowing operators to make accurate decision on bearing serviceability and rework requirements.
The FinnSonic Tempo Aeromatic supports consistent, reliable, and repetitive bearing inspection standards through a safe and sustainable process.
