Case Studies
Single Stage Performers
The era of LEAN production is firmly entrenched in the modern manufacturing world. ACT's Cellular systems play an important role in making single piece or small part flow a reality. This customer produces helicopter transmission bearings and needed a half dozen machines to
Multi-Stage Systems
This Case History covers a system built for jet engine teardown and overhaul. The maintenance cleaning problems of a jet engine may be divided into two sections, namely, the "cold" part section and the "hot" part section.
Advanced Oil Water Separation
A Texas-based global supplier of valves to the oil field recently integrated ACT's Suparator technology to eliminate on-going storage and disposal of 10,000 gallons of oily waste water per month. A converted milk tanker full of material! ACT visited the site, analyzed the situation, recommended a standard package, built-it, and installed it in a matter of a weeks.
Modern Paint Coating Removal Systems
ACT has extensive expertise in the design, engineering and fabrication of paint stripping systems. This Case History is based on replacing a toxic solvent paint stripper with an environmentally safer aqueous based stripping process.
Conversion Coating
Alodine, also referred to as iridite, is a chromate conversion coating that is applied only to the surface of aluminum. It gives good corrosion protection as well as providing an excellent base for painting. The process, developed for a major commercial aircraft overhaul facility, involves a cold alodine application followed by a cold water rinse and a final hot water rinse.
