UK-Manufactured Industrial Degreasing Systems for Aerospace & Defence supplied globally
Rotajet Systems Ltd manufactures aerospace parts washing machines in the UK for defence, aerospace and precision engineering applications worldwide.
In aerospace manufacturing, cleanliness is structural, functional and safety critical.
Residual machining oils, swarf, carbon contamination and assembly greases directly influence:
- Coating adhesion
- Heat treatment performance
- Fatigue resistance
- Corrosion behaviour
- Dimensional accuracy
For organisations operating within the UK aerospace and defence supply chain — including members of ADS Group — cleaning systems must deliver repeatability, traceability and documented process control.
Rotajet industrial degreasing systems are engineered to meet those standards.
The Aerospace Component Cleaning Challenge
Modern aerospace components require the removal of:
- Heavy cutting fluids
- Fine metallic swarf
- Assembly lubricants
- Protective transport coatings
- Carbon and baked-on residues
Inconsistent cleaning leads to rework, compliance risk and downstream failure.
With solvent usage increasingly scrutinised under regulations monitored by the Health and Safety Executive, aerospace manufacturers are transitioning toward controlled aqueous degreasing systems.
Rotajet basket-type industrial parts washers provide engineered spray coverage, temperature control and filtration — eliminating operator variability and manual inconsistency.
Rotajet D-Series Aerospace Parts Washing Machines
The Rotajet D-Series is designed and manufactured in Wakefield, UK for heavy-duty aerospace and defence degreasing applications.
Available basket diameters:
- 760mm
- 1000mm
- 1400mm
- 1800mm
- 2200mm
This basket range covers the majority of aerospace components from precision-machined parts through to large structural assemblies.
