  • Refurbishing system
    Patent number: 9132528
    Abstract: A system for refurbishing at least one article attached to an assembly includes a refurbishing vessel that contains at least one wall and at least one open portion; means for providing an abrasive media to the vessel, wherein the abrasive media is caused to flow around the surfaces of the at least one article when the vessel is positioned on the at least one article; means for conformably sealing the at least one open portion against the flow of abrasive media, wherein a seal is created that conforms to the contours of the at least one article and prevents the abrasive media from escaping between the at least one article and the at least one wall; and means for removing the abrasive media from the vessel.
