Aqueous Parts Washers for Aerospace Component Cleaning

Aerospace cleaning is held to a higher standard than general industrial cleaning — and for good reason. Turbine components, hydraulic actuators, landing gear assemblies, and structural parts cleaned for MRO or overhaul must meet strict cleanliness specifications. The cleaning process must be repeatable, documentable, and free of contamination introduced by the washer itself. Magido's aqueous parts washers, built entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel with precise temperature and cycle control, are used in aerospace MRO and precision manufacturing operations.

Cleanliness Requirements in Aerospace

Aerospace cleaning specifications are demanding: MIL-spec cleanliness standards, AMS process specifications, and OEM overhaul manual requirements define acceptable contamination levels precisely. Parts that fail cleanliness inspection must be re-cleaned — a costly process that an effective washer eliminates from the workflow.

Aqueous cleaning with controlled temperature, detergent concentration, and cycle time delivers repeatable results. Unlike manual cleaning, where operator technique varies, an automated Magido washer applies the same thermal, chemical, and mechanical energy to every load — consistent results every cycle.

Turbine and Engine Component Cleaning

Gas turbine components — compressor blades, turbine discs, nozzle guide vanes, and accessory gearbox housings — accumulate carbon deposits, oxidation products, and hydrocarbon contamination during service. MRO cleaning must remove these deposits without damaging protective coatings, altering surface finish, or introducing foreign object debris (FOD).

Magido's immersion washers provide gentle but thorough cleaning through fluid agitation at controlled temperatures — effective on complex airfoil geometries and internal cooling passages without the impact risk of high-pressure spray on thin-wall components.

Hydraulic and Actuator Component Cleaning

Aircraft hydraulic components — actuators, servo valves, manifolds, and pump assemblies — must be cleaned to particulate cleanliness levels specified by NAS 1638 or ISO 4406 standards. Any residual particulate in reassembled hydraulic components causes accelerated wear, seal damage, and system unreliability.

Magido's Agita immersion washers and precision spray cabinets deliver the cleaning action needed to remove hydraulic fluid residue, particulate, and varnish from internal passages. Filtered wash solution prevents recontamination of cleaned components during the wash cycle itself.

Traceability and Process Control

Aerospace MRO operations require documented, controlled processes. The cleaning step is no exception — temperature, detergent, cycle time, and water quality are process parameters that must be controlled and recorded.

Magido washers provide the control points needed: adjustable temperature with consistent hold at set point, programmable cycle timers, and filtration systems that maintain wash solution quality. This controllability allows cleaning operations to be written into process documentation and repeated consistently across shifts and operators.
