sections for the CH-47 Helicopter Facility project. These floor sections will be used to automatically recover

the spent media after blasting the helicopter. This floor section is 1 of 20, is 8' wide x 20' long and weighs 4100 lbs for the project.

Our lead fabricator "Luis" (pictured) has over 30 years of experience in the fabrication of abrasive blast equipment.

The fixture AFG built allows the painter to rotate the entire floor section while in the paint booth

August 21, 2017: Aerospace Facilities Group was awarded the contract to change out the

F-16 Paint Booth carbon filters at Shaw AFB. These carbon filters are used to trap the VOC's

from the painting process exhaust system of the booth.

August 19, 2017: Aerospace Facilities Group just finished installing a new three-stage paint booth filter monitoring system at Little Rock AFB. This system allows the corrosion shop personnel to monitor each stage of their NESHAP three-stage filtration system in the C-130 paint booth.

Unlike most systems that use a manometer to measure the static pressure across all three filters, the AFG system monitors each filter so the activity knows exactly when to change each stage of the paint booth filtration rather than guess which stage is dirty.

AFG manufactured and installed a special filter frame in the left, center, and right bank of the exhaust filter housing. The AFG filter frame allows the system to monitor the static pressure on each stage of the filter.

The booth has a full-floor recovery system and up can accommodate up to 4-blast operators at a time.

The booth also has DX cooling and LED lighting. Completion date scheduled for January 2018. Booth is currently in fabrication at our facility.

March 08, 2017: Aerospace Facilities Group field engineers just finished up installing the compressor system at Dyess AFB in support of the B-1 Bomber maintenance hangar. These compressors are set up for a "lead-Lag" configuration.

One compressor will run for seven days, shut down, and the other compressor will run for seven days. If the air demand is too great on a single compressor, both compressors will run to supply the required air. Once the demand is met, the lag compressor will shut down
