Customer
Jet Engine Manufacturing

Application
Stator, Rotor, and Stage 2 Nozzle Assembly

Background
In the middle of a jet engine there are parts called a “Rotor”, a “Stator”, and a “Stage 2 Nozzle Assembly”. The “Stator” (shown in the picture) is around 5 ft. high and the “Rotor” is close to 7 ft. high.

Problem
The customer needed to replace vapor degreasers with an aqueous system. The system had to handle all three parts (each very different from the other) and still meet the stringent cleanliness specifications.

Solution
Design a fixture for each part and mount them on the turntable such that one didn’t interfere with the use of the others. The wash, rinse, dry and deburring manifolds could all be removed or pivoted out of the way when not in use.

System
A stainless F-5000-P with an ARC-22 rinse tank, a compressed air drying system, and a 3,000 PSI pump for DEBURRING.
