The AF RXG was specifically designed for the French Air Force which was looking for a product to dry paint quickly and safely in explosive atmospheres.

The steel frame holds two compartments which house two thermoreactors; a control panel is located on the front.

Today, Sunkiss supplies all French air force bases with these units.

General Manager Bruno Comoglio explains how it works: "The RXG has two small detachable thermoreactors which can be used simultaneously and in different places, attached to the unit or up to 18m away.

"These small units are usually used internally on aircraft wings and other small areas. Units like this are currently being used to overhaul Boeing 747s and other aircraft."

The other model, the RX 2000, houses one thermoreactor, which can be large or small depending on individual client needs. The reactor is held in a unit which can be moved up to 6m vertically and up to 1.5m horizontally by a motorised or manual telescopic mast.
