ACTIVATION BLASTING SYSTEM
RSAS-102
DESCRIPTION
The activation blasting system RSAS-102 is operational at one of the most advanced maintenance facilities for GE engines. Manufacturer specifications require the use of two different blasting media types. Smaller workpieces can be blasted manually.

HIGHLIGHTS
- Minimal blasting media deposits in the blasting cabin thanks to overhead robot and automated cabin cleaning
- Rapid switching of blasting media types via quick-drain system and mobile media silos
- Short transfer time from blasting to Thermospray process due to automated workpiece cleaning and direct transport line connection
- Energy savings through recirculation of filtered cabin exhaust air
- Blasting protocols compliant with SAE AMS 2432 standard
- Monitoring of blasting hoses outside the blasting cabin
AREA OF USE
- Fan casings of GE engines
- Gearbox and structural components requiring pretreatment for galvanic surface treatments
