This system creates a moisture-free, regulated and controlled environment around the equipment regardless of local conditions
18 June 2021: B&H Worldwide has further expanded the scope of its specialized services with the introduction of the JetCell storage system at its Singapore facility. This system is designed to deliver long-term protection for jet engines in storage thereby creating a moisture-free, regulated and controlled environment around the equipment regardless of local conditions.
Modern jet engines are built using composite materials and advanced electronics and require specialist handling from experts for both storage and transportation. When stored they require very precise moisture free surroundings. The new JetCells being implemented by B&H feature small industrial air dryers within the storage enclosure which are capable of delivering very low levels of relative humidity with a virtually maintenance free operation over long periods of time.
B & H Worldwide Group CEO, Stuart Allen said, “Customers in the aerospace logistics arena are rightly demanding the highest levels of quality and care when it comes to long-term storage of their aircraft engines. With the introduction of these JetCells at our Singapore facility we are able to provide another service enhancement specifically tailored to meet their requirements and which will help to keep aircraft engines in pristine condition while they are within our facility in the Free Trade Zone at Changi“.
Two different types of JetCell have been installed meaning the Singapore facility can handle both Trent 700 and Trent XWB engines, among others. Their introduction means the B&H team will be able to maintain very low levels of humidity and keep the engines in optimal conditions.
