This document describes the Aerolyte cabinet system for paint stripping using plastic media. The system allows for precise, controlled removal of paint from delicate surfaces without chemicals or sanding. Aerolyte cabinets use pressurized plastic media directed at surfaces to break down and remove paint layers. The cabinets include a media reclaim system to reuse the plastic particles and a dust collection system. The document provides specifications for various Aerolyte cabinet models.

AEROL YTE CABINET
SYSTEMS
Eliminate Chemical Stripping
Dry paint-stripping is a precisely controlled
process for removing paint from delicate sur-
faces. With this system the need for laborious
sanding operations or the use of chemicals is
a thing of the past. The Aerolyte System of
paint stripping uses metered propulsion of
plastic particles which are directed at low
pressures toward the painted substrate. The
velocity and angular shape of the Aerolyte
Plastic Media results in breakdown and
removal of the paint to effect a cleaned sur-
face. Because the process is operator con-
trolled and sight-oriented, selective layer-by-
layer paint removal is possible.
Aerolyte cabinet systems allow for complete
surface preparation of subcomponent parts.
Each cabinet system incorporates a complete
paint-stripping mechanism as well as a media
reclaim and dust-collection system designed
specifically for use with plastic media. Aerolyte
cabinets permit the same precise control over
surface preparation activities that is the
hallmark of Aerolyte's larger systems.
