Recent advancements have allowed for the use of lasers in a variety of applications and are often both more cost-effective and safer. A high-energy laser beam quickly removes rust, paint, contaminants, and residues while leaving the substrate untouched. Laser cleaning is more eco-friendly and energy-efficient than traditional cleaning methods like sandblasting, dry ice blasting, and other abrasive blasting techniques, and also completes the job in half the time. Large format installations are available that can even be integrated into an existing production line, or smaller handheld units are available. Available wattage starting at 50W all the way up to 4 KW.
