Laser Cleaning Applications
Laser ablation is used in many processes in various industries
- Rust removal.
- Surface grinding.
- Surface passivation after welding.
- Structuring the surface before painting.
- Degreasing and removing oil
- Pre-treatment and finishing surfaces.
Automotive industry
Application in surfaces pre-treatment and finishing:
- Surface degreasing.
- Removal of oxidized top layers.
- Surface preparation before joining processes and weld cleaning.
- Cleaning of moulds of resins and residue left by the manufacturing process.
Food industry
The cleanliness of the laser cleaning process allows for cleaning equipment without disassembly. Importantly no foreign media is introduced into the factory environment.
- Cleaning of trays and moulds.
- Cleaning conveyor belts.
- Cleaning of all types of food production and handling equipment.
Printing industry
The elimination of chemical cleaning means the cleanliness of the process, at the same time, better cleaning quality, which extends the maintenance period of the equipment components. Eliminating chemicals which need to be disposed of reduces the cost and logistics of the entire process. Downtime is minimised and the process can be carried out whilst the rest of the factory can still work.
Rubber industry
Mobile laser systems are perfect for cleaning moulds with complex geometry, without the need for dismantling or removal from site. Once again downtime is minimised.
Railways
Low down time and effective cleaning of rails without using traditional blast abrasives make laser cleaning an attractive proposition for railway and tram operators.
Building maintenance
Graffiti can be removed quickly and thoroughly with no environmental impact.
