Our Denude Panel Stripper is ideal for aircraft interior refurbishment and makes the delicate task of removing old laminate from interior panels a lot easier.
Many workshops hand-strip old laminate using heat guns or stripping scrapers which can take a long time – over three man-hours per panel! This can also cause a lot of damage, often leaving the panels needing significant amounts of repair and sanding. Our sidewall laminate stripper offers the perfect solution.
How Does It Work?
The Denude Panel Stripper works by securing the panel with a flexible vacuum grip while heat is applied to soften the adhesive. Precise temperature control ensures the panel structure is not damaged by excessive heat. The old laminate is attached to the draw bar that then progresses along the panel, stripping the laminate automatically.
Only 10 to 15 minutes is needed to prepare the panel for stripping. Typical stripping time takes around 40 to 50 minutes and stripping speed relates to how much adhesive is left on the panel. Generally, slower speeds take off more adhesive and faster speeds remove less.
The age of the panel, laminate and adhesive type impact how much residual adhesive cleaning is needed. Remaining adhesive can be removed by steam cleaning or solvent wiping. If the laminate is weak in the window area and tears, it's very easy to reattach the laminate to the opposite end of the panel and work back to the centre.
Optimal Conditions For Aircraft Interior Refurbishment
Our machine works best in semi-automatic mode with the user keeping an eye on the stripping operation while preparing the next panel for stripping or cleaning off panels already stripped. Our Denude Panel Stripper can reliably strip laminate from Wide Body and Narrow Body aircrafts, Regional Jets, and Turboprops. It can be used on popular aircrafts including Boeing, Airbus, and more.
The Denude Panel Stripper complements the use of our HVA machines and is installed by our skilled engineers, in the UK or overseas. Full training is given on how to effectively use the sidewall laminate stripper and the machine is built to have a long lasting service life with minimal maintenance.
