Dry stripping saves time
and money and provides a
safer workplace and environment. Originally developed for plastic media to
remove coatings from highperformance fighter aircraft, the dry strip process
is now recognized as an
excellent method for
removing paint, deflashing
plastic, removing excess
adhesive or overspray,
cleaning rubber molds,
cleaning aluminum and performing other manufacturing and maintenance
processes.
Aerolyte pioneered the
technology to strip paint
from airplanes and aircraft
components. Today,
Aerolyte equipment and
facilities are in use by hundreds of military and commercial operations worldwide.
The dry strip technology
uses non-aggressive media
to safely remove coatings
five times faster than dualaction sanders, without the
risk of gouging, rounding
corners, or scratching a delicate surface. As an alternative to chemical strippers,
dry stripping eliminates
worker exposure to toxic
and hazardous substances.
Dry stripping drastically
reduces hazardous material
disposal costs.
Aerolyte equipment and installations can handle everything from cars and combat aircraft to components and small parts.
Safer for Maintaining
Surface Integrity
Widely available, lightweight media — such as
plastic, bicarbonate of soda
and starch — are softer than
sheet metal, chrome, plastic,
and glass, and reduce the
risk of damaging a surface.
Economical Operation
In a dry strip booth, an
Aerolyte recovery system
captures the dry stripping
media, separates it from the
paint chips or other debris
and dust, then makes it
available for reuse.
A dust collector traps the
dust and broken media for
disposal.
Aerolyte equipment systems return more media,
and cleaner media, to the
blast machine than any
other dry stripping system.
This efficiency of operation
is the key to economical dry
stripping.
The Aerolyte dry stripping process saves time and
money, reduces pollution,
and leaves a clean surface.
An experienced operator can
strip a small car to bare
metal is less than two hours
or remove coatings one or
more layers at a time leaving
behind an intact primer coat.
Proven Performance
Aerolyte has furnished
equipment to hundreds of
companies for a wide variety of applications.
Aerolyte dry strip cabinets are built with proven
technologies and available
in a wide range of enclosure
sizes. Standard models for
single and dual operators let
