Laser cleaning machines for metalwork and industry
A pulsed fibre laser takes rust, paint, scale and residue off metal with no blast media to buy, contain or dispose of. We help UK businesses work out whether a laser suits their work, and which power and set-up it needs.
What it removes from metal
- Rust and mill scale
- Back to bare, coating-ready steel without grit, soda or chemicals.
- Paint and coatings
- Stripped selectively. With the settings right, the metal beneath is left largely unaffected.
- Weld preparation and discolouration
- Cleaned before welding, and heat tint taken off after it.
- Oil, grease and release agents
- Lifted from parts, fixtures and moulds as a dry process.
Who we work with
Trading businesses that clean, prepare or restore metal as part of their work. We do not deal with hobby or private buyers, and we do not arrange machine hire.
- Fabrication and welding shops
- Automotive and classic restoration workshops
- Engineering and manufacturing maintenance teams
- Blasting and surface preparation contractors adding laser
Where a laser is not the answer
A laser works on what sits on the surface. It will not rebuild pitted or thinned steel, and on thick, well-bonded coatings over large areas, blasting can still be quicker. Laser cleaning is Class 4 laser work, so it needs a risk assessment, a controlled area, trained operators and the right eye protection. We say so before anyone buys, not after.
