It goes without question that airlines require a very durable ducting product that can perform under rigorous conditions. Failed ducting would create a tremendous health risk to ground-service workers during waste removal from an aircraft. The ducting attaches to the aircraft via a portal on the underside and connects to a portable collection device that contains the waste after removal and transfers it to the waste storage tank for proper handling.
ABC Industries designs airline ducting for safe, sanitary aviation lavatory waste removal, ensuring ground crews are protected during every operation within the aircraft lavatory system.
There are two types of waste extraction: gravity and vacuum-assist. ABC manufactures ducting for both applications. Typically, gravity-fed extraction is used primarily in North America, while vacuum-assist is more common at international airports where a vacuum toilet system is standard.
