Aviation is a specialty field and Factory Cat cylindrical scrubbers are particularly popular in the aircraft hangars, where FOD reduction is so vital. The cylindrical scrub head on the Factory Cat battery scrubbers is able to sweep up the small debris and scrub floor in a single pass.
Reduce the likelihood that safety wire, electrical connectors or small fasteners which could have fallen on the floor, will cause damage to the aircraft's landing gear tire's or be injected into an engine.
Some of the largest airline carriers use the Factory Cat scrubbers to recover de-icing fluid after application, which avoids it from potentially contaminating surrounding soil or water.
