MILITARY SELECTS ACT FOR NEW PAINT STRIPPING SYSTEMS
December 04, 2009 ACT announced last month that the company was awarded a contract for turnkey removal and replacement of antiquated coating removal systems with new, automated processing units for large aircraft components. The systems are from ACT's STR Series of closed loop strip processors utilizing uniquely combined technologies, engineered to enhance coating removal, while preserving the solution viability by employing centrifugal separation systems shared between the pair of STR's. "These machines will take their shop from open top, poorly exhausted, and slow performing tanks to the latest in high performance chemical stripping as part of the continued initiative to improve DOD overhaul production and aircraft turnaround speed" said the company's GM, Dave Poirier. The project is expected to be completed by mid-March, 2010.ACT TO EQUIP NEW AIR FORCE FUEL OVERHAUL FACILITY
October 06, 2009 After more than three years of involvement with the end users, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Prime, ACT was awarded a contract 1 October to provide systems for aircraft engine fuel system overhaul at the depot in Oklahoma City. "Our unique systems are well suited to the specific soil removal, substrate conditioning for the parts, and flow analyzing while minimizing manual labor in the overhaul process" said Dave Poirier, ACT's General Manager. With over 10 systems to build for the site, plus installation support and operator training, the workload is in keeping with ACT's committment to provide maximum value to its customers in application specific designs backed by years of experience.

March 13, 2009 Building on past success with ACT's systems abroad, this major company relies on ACT's systems in far off, isolated locations due to the robust engineering, maintainability, environmental awareness, and ACT's on-line customer support including illustrated part breakdowns (IPB's) and system drawings and manuals just a quick download away, 24/7. The new system is destined for an F-16 base and will be used in the back shop maintenance of aircraft landing gear and hydraulics. Special electrical requirements, part fixturing, and system packaging are routine value-adders provided by Automated Cleaning Technologies.GLOBAL COMPANY SELECTS ACT FOR ENVIRO-SAFE WASHER
December 23, 2008ACT was selected this month and awarded a contract to manufacture a specialized cleaning system for a global air conditioning supplier based in Europe. ACT will assist in the installation at the plant in the Austin area. Fewer and fewer vapor degreasers are in use today for cost and regulatory reasons, not to mention worker health issues. Dave Poirier, company General Manager, stated that "It's always satisfying to take part in projects that are sure to make a huge positive impact on the client's ledger while taking down another trich machine."
