CHALLENGE

A prominent manufacturer of helicopter blades, who learned about us from a wood trade magazine, approached us. As a result of normal use, blades must be removed and have their honeycomb-like interiors dried of water buildup approximately every 2,000 flight hours. This process is expensive and very time-consuming.

SOLUTION

We custom developed a drying system to accommodate the 33-foot blades.

RESULT

Utilizing our custom made system, the manufacturer no longer spends 85 man-hours per blade; they can drop the blades into a Nyle Systems dryer for just over a week and ship them back to the end user at a fraction of the cost of the previous method.
