Depaint the big easy way
What appears to be sand are plastic beads that are shot through four air hoses controlled by the Area Multi-axis Platforms, or AMP, to depaint aircraft at the 402nd Maintenance Support Squadron at Robins Air Force Base, Ga. A foreman operates the AMP from inside a cab that has fresh pumped in for the operator to breathe and to push plastic beads and paint particles out of cab openings. This environmentally friendly system presents a low hazard to the operators and the environment, while making the depaint process faster. Each AMP does the work of 10 people (four two-person teams with one nozzle to a team, plus additional safety/support personnel). (U.S. Air Force photo/Lance Cheung)
