How does a laser cleaning machine remove rust without damaging metal?
Contaminants absorb laser energy differently than the base material.
Rust vaporizes instantly while the metal reflects most of the beam.
Pulse lasers allow fine-tuning of power for sensitive work like
automotive trim, historic restoration, or fine fabrication.
Is laser cleaning safe to use indoors?
Yes. Unlike sandblasting, laser cleaning produces minimal airborne
particulate and requires no chemicals. Basic PPE and proper
ventilation or fume extraction are recommended.
Can this replace sandblasting for service providers?
For most jobs, yes. Laser cleaning eliminates media costs, dust
contamination, masking, and the risk of damaging thin or valuable
surfaces. Many service businesses switch because it's faster,
cleaner, and more profitable long term.
How fast does it remove coatings?
Light rust clears in seconds per square foot. Thicker coatings such
as paint or powder coating typically remove in 1–2 minutes per
square foot, much faster than manual methods and with no consumable
expense.
Do I need special training to start a laser cleaning service?
No. We provide complete operator training. Most users become
job-ready within a few hours and master advanced techniques quickly.
What maintenance does the system require?
Very little. Keep optics clean, monitor cooling fluid, and replace
inexpensive protective lenses as needed. No consumables, no
hazardous waste, and minimal downtime.
Are financing or leasing options available?
Yes. We offer financing options suitable for new entrepreneurs and
established service companies. Remote demos are also available so
you can verify the machine fits your business before purchasing.
