Benefits Of Using Our FOD Products
We are aircraft engineers with over 30 years of experience, intimately familiar with the challenges posed by Foreign Object Debris/Damage (FOD). In aviation maintenance, the integrity of turbine engines is paramount; even the smallest debris can pose significant risks to performance and safety. FOD extends beyond obvious objects. The devil is in the details, particularly the smallest metal particles that can lead to flight cancellations, delays, and ultimately engine failures. Many metal debris particles can enter the engine oil simply through the mishandling of oil cans or improper tools during the oil filling process.
TheCanKey addresses this critical issue with a suite of innovative FOD prevention products. Our products are certified to leave no debris during the opening of oil cans and the oil handling process, thus safeguarding engines against FOD ingress. FOD impacts business effectiveness, safety, and aircraft operation—a challenge that must not be underestimated. Drawing from our firsthand experience, we are passionate about FOD risk prevention and supporting aircraft owners to ensure their operations are safe and efficient. The benefits of using TheCanKey products include:

What Our Clients Say
Stephen Gosling | Sales & Marketing Director at Adams Aviation Supply Co Ltd.
“TheCanKey has proven an ideal way to get the message out that we at Adams Aviation are the Europe-wide source for Exxon Aviation lubricants. We’re delighted with TheCanKey’s impact and with the reception from customers.”
Paul Murray | Line Maintenance Engineer at Heathrow Intl. Airport
“Working as an experienced line maintenance engineer on B767, B777 and MD-11, I found TheCanKey a very useful tool. It’s light, easy to use and doesn’t set off metal detectors when I go through security. Most importantly, according to lab reports, it does not contaminate the oil. I recommend TheCanKey to my colleagues as the can opener for the professional maintenance engineer.”
