As an industry-leading surface finishing company, with an established history in providing precision cleaning equipment to renowned customers within the aerospace and aviation industry, Guyson International’s cutting-edge cleaning systems are manufactured to the highest standards. Thus, Guyson proudly remains the trusted partner, who prioritises safety, quality and meticulous attention to detail, for many leading aviation original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) companies worldwide.

Ranging from small baths to large multi-stage automated cleaning lines, Guyson produces a variety of ultrasonic cleaning equipment best suited to the needs and requirements of diverse operations, scales and facilities. This includes Guyson’s manual GUK Benchtop Ultrasonic Baths, KS Ultrasonic Cleaning Tanks, UCR Ultrasonic Clean-Rinse Tanks, CRD Ultrasonic Clean-Rinse-Dry Tanks, KST Submersible Transducers, and Guyson’s automated Microsolve, Microclean and Supercleaner Systems.

Amongst Guyson’s comprehensive selection of ultrasonic cleaning systems, are the highly-efficient Microsolve machines, available in both mono and co-solvent configurations, with the added feature of Autotrans basket handling automation, to provide fully automated operations. Both Microsolve ranges are designed to deliver the highest standard of precision cleaning, paramount for the sustainability and durability of critical aviation components.

The Microsolve Mono-Solvent, ideal for thorough cleaning of light to medium levels of contamination, such as electronic and maintenance components, employs a seamless three-stage process of ultrasonic cleaning, vapor rinsing, and freeboard drying. This advanced solvent retention technology incorporates triple-coil reflux cooling, a vapor break, and an impressive 150% freeboard ratio, to ensure safe, efficient, and environmentally compliant cleaning, that also delivers significant economic benefits, such as low solvent usage and running costs when using hydrofluoroether (HFE) or hydrofluorolefin (HFO) solvents.

The Microsolve Co-Solvent incorporates a four-stage process of ultrasonic cleaning, ultrasonic rinsing, vapour rinsing and freeboard drying. Designed for heavy contamination removal through co-solvent immersion cleaning, the Microsolve Co-Solvent utilises a combination of HFE and petroleum distillate-based solvating agent to enhance cleaning operations for more complex requirements. With matched solvent retention features and economic benefits to the mono-solvent design, the Microsolve Co-Solvent employs dual-frequency ultrasonic transducers with power control, pulsed operation, frequency modulation, and sideband sweep, in both the cleaning and rinsing tanks, as well as highly-efficient freeboard drying with refrigerated cooling coils, for solvent recovery and evaporation control.

Widely favoured by aviation OEM and MRO operators, the Microsolve range’s exceptional precision cleaning functionality is highly suited for a range of critical aviation components, of all geometries, sizes, and volume requirements, such as actuators, avionics, guidance systems, and gearboxes. For example, a global defence and security company, working with both domestic and international aviation OEM and MRO companies, utilises the Guyson Microsolve Mono-Solvent system to achieve exceptional cleaning standards for avionic components. Precision cleaning is critical, as avionics govern nearly every aspect of an aircraft, including communication, navigation, flight control, and fuel systems. Even minimal contamination can compromise durability and safety, making compliance with rigorous standards essential. Therefore, Guyson’s three-stage ultrasonic cleaning system was the preferred choice for guaranteeing meticulous cleaning of intricate electronic components, to meet these imperative demands.

Similarly, a leading European missile systems manufacturer relies on Guyson’s Microsolve 450C solvent cleaning system for ultrasonic cleaning of aircraft guidance systems. Solder flux is easily removed from the delicate printed circuit boards, without causing damage to the critical components. The advanced design ensures every intricate part of submerged components are thoroughly cleaned and treated to ensure fault free operation.

Guyson’s Microsolve machines are also ideal for reconditioning gearbox components, hydraulics, and actuators, which must operate flawlessly under extreme conditions without undetected contamination from grease, particles, or residues. These systems use carefully selected solvents compatible with sensitive materials, to ensure effective cleaning without damage or degradation. Aviation MRO companies working with helicopter gearboxes, hydraulic systems, and actuators require the Microsolve 350C solvent cleaning machines to clean complex geometries and remove contaminants that cause wear or corrosion, to enhance the dependability and extend the lifespan of these flight-critical components.
