Equipment Description
Vacuum
Sanding Systems integrate a vacuum cleaner with vacuum assist sanders for
eliminating airborne toxins (including lead, chromium, and dust) while removing
paint from both metallic and nonmetallic aircraft structures. The system
incorporates three-stage filtration comprised of a filter bag, prefilter,
and HEPA filter. The system includes one vacuum cleaner, two vacuum assist
sanders, two vacuum assist grinders, and one tool caddy.
Benefits of Use
The system uses a portable vacuum sander to remove coatings and to perform other corrosion control operations on composite and metallic aircraft structures while capturing solid waste. It eliminates airborne particulate matter and potential lead dust exposure hazard. Reduces pollution from current power sanding operations. Improves efficiency of operations. Improves personnel safety by collecting and containing paint dust particles. Reduces labor hours for manual sanding operations.
