The Special Processes Facility comprises of the following four departments:
- Heat treatment
- Surface treatment
- Abrasive blasting & NDT
- Painting
The heat treatment department caters for both steel and aluminium treatments. Surface treatment includes a vast range of processes, conversion and electrochemical treatments for parts up to 6m in size.
The shot blasting area of the Special Processes Facility can perform tasks from glass bead peening to CNC shot peening. Denel Aerostructures NDT capability ranges from performing dye penetrant to magnetic particle and radio graphic testing.
The Special Processes Facility manpower team comprises 60 people. All personnel are trained and specialists in their respected fields. Additional training is provided during industrialisation of new products.
