We support safe & efficient aircraft maintenance with FOD prevention products.
In aviation maintenance, the integrity of turbine engines is paramount, as even the smallest debris can significantly risk performance and safety.
Every day around the world, aircraft engineers open thousands of turbine oil cans using screwdrivers, flat-nosed pliers, Leatherman tools, or “church keys.” These sharp metal tools can deposit debris from the tool and can material into the oil, which is then poured into the aircraft turbine engine or hydraulic system. This poses a significant risk of Foreign Object Debris (FOD) contamination, potentially compromising engine safety and performance.
TheCanKey was born out of a pressing need for suitable and safe tools to open and handle turbine oil cans. Recognizing this critical gap, our founder, Torben Biehl Jensen, developed TheCanKey range of FOD-free products to ensure the utmost safety and efficiency in aviation maintenance.
