Is Laser Cleaning environmentally friendly?

​

 

As laser cleaning solely uses pure light to remove contaminants, the process is not environmentally harmful. An appropriate extraction unit is installed to capture all released contaminates which can then be safely deposited afterwards.

​

​

Which materials can be used for laser cleaning?

​

The most effective materials are the majority of metals along with a variety of alloys. Mineral materials such as concrete and brickwork can also be cleaned, however, the results may vary depending on the condition/life of the mineral materials being cleaned. Wood can also be cleaned, where deposits of soot or water-based varnishes have adhered to the material.

​

​

Does laser cleaning damage the original surface?

​

As long as the machine is set to the correct parameters, no damage will be caused to the original surface. A slight heat build-up may occur while cleaning, however, as long as the dwell time is kept to a minimum, no damage will be caused.

​

​

How intrusive is laser cleaning?

​

Laser cleaning offers minimal disruption to any working environment. Once the safety screening and warning signs have been erected to notify all personnel a class IV laser is being used within the vicinity, an employee or worker can safely work on the opposite side of the safety screens.

​

​

What power output does the laser use?

​

Our machines use a standard single-phase 240v supply and, therefore can easily be set up and used in the majority of workspaces.

​

How portable is the machine?

​

The machine is very portable, all components are contained in one unit along with weighing only 40kg. Therefore, the machine can be transported and set up with ease.
