Laser Cleaning Machines

Industrial Rust, Paint, and Oxide Removal Solutions

Laser cleaning machines use focused laser beams to clean, polish, or prepare metal surfaces without using chemicals or abrasives.
They are widely used in industrial maintenance and restoration applications.
By sending high-energy light pulses to the surface, the laser vaporizes or removes contaminants such as rust, oil, paint, and oxides without damaging the underlying material.
This makes the process highly efficient, environmentally safe, and precise for surface treatment.

What Is a Laser Cleaning Machine?

A laser cleaning machine is a system that removes rust, paint, oil, dirt, and other surface contaminants using high-energy laser beams.
The light emitted by the laser heats the top layer, causing unwanted material to vaporize and detach from the surface.
This ensures precise cleaning without causing deformation or abrasion.

Main Characteristics:

  • Non-contact cleaning without mechanical stress on the surface.

  • Dry cleaning – no chemicals or waste residues.

  • Highly selective – cleans only the targeted area without affecting the substrate.

  • Safe for delicate materials such as molds, engravings, or precision components.

Laser cleaning systems are therefore ideal for industries that require fast, safe, and environmentally friendly surface preparation.
