Tools for the Workshop

Tools for the Workshop THE need for effective washing equipment for acroengine parts is more important today than it has ever been. The apparatus shown in Fig. 1 is for washing engines taken from crashed aeroplanes before they are dismantled prior to reassembly. The same machine can also be used for washing quantities of component parts if necessary. This machine is 33 ft. 6 in. in length 10 ft. 6 in. in width and 12 ft. 6 in. in height its approximate loaded weight being 30 tons. The engines or components are placed in large swing carriers which are swung on two heavy mildsteel roller chains. The conveyor runs very slowly, driven by a 2 h.p. motor, through a 14,400 to 2 reduction gear unit. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology Emerald Publishing

Abstract

THE need for effective washing equipment for acroengine parts is more important today than it has ever been. The apparatus shown in Fig. 1 is for washing engines taken from crashed aeroplanes before they are dismantled prior to reassembly. The same machine can also be used for washing quantities of component parts if necessary. This machine is 33 ft. 6 in. in length 10 ft. 6 in. in width and 12 ft. 6 in. in height its approximate loaded weight being 30 tons. The engines or components are placed in large swing carriers which are swung on two heavy mildsteel roller chains. The conveyor runs very slowly, driven by a 2 h.p. motor, through a 14,400 to 2 reduction gear unit.
