Protection of Propeller Parts for Transport and Long-term Storage
The Challenge
As one of Europe’s leading propeller prepare and overhaul facilities, Brinkley Propellers required four disassembled propellers, blades and hubs, to be professionally shrink wrapped to meet the specification of the purchaser ready for transportation and long-term. This needed to be done in-situ in their state-of-the-art facility as space was at a premium. In addition, Brinkley Propellers required this material to be applied professionally by a third party.
The Solution
Lake Engineering Solutions provided Cortec® VpCI®-126 Blue Shrink film (6.1m x 30.5m x 150µm) and Cortec® VpCI®-146 Kraft paper which met the specification and additionally provided specialist shrink wrap tape to further secure the parts. HITEK-nology Solutions were contracted by Lake Engineering Solutions to perform the application of the materials due to their application expertise with Cortec products. The Cortec® VpCI®-146 Kraft paper was used to protect sensitive parts before the Cortec® VpCI®-126 Shrink film was applied.
Customer Success
The materials were delivered on time and the application work completed in a timely manner to the satisfaction of Brinkley Propellers. Brinkley Propellers now utilise HITEK-nology Solutions and Lake Engineering Solutions for all future projects.
