Non Invasive Cleaning For Metal, Wood & Stone
Laser Cleaning For Monument & Stone Cleaning, Restoration & Rust Removal
Introducing Chilled Laser Technology
Our search for an effective and safe laser cleaning system started almost a decade ago. Until 2022 every system we looked at had drawbacks ranging from the size of the machines to the heat of the beam setting paint or varnish alight.
We have found the perfect solution using chilled laser technology which provides a cool laser beam in a very compact machine. Our mobile self-contained laser system allows us to provide services at any location and is rapidly replacing the techniques we have used in the past to clean a wide range of items.
Why Use Laser Cleaning?
The process of laser cleaning (laser ablation) is defined as non-invasive. It does not use any abrasive to remove coatings or staining caused by pollution. It uses a laser pulse with precisely set parameters, the pulse can be adjusted to be able to clean almost any surface. This method is almost universal and replaces the alternative processes of sandblasting, soda blasting, dry ice blasting and chemical cleaning.
Safety
The laser beam does not affect the surface of the item being treated , it selectively removes only the surface contaminants. Thanks to this, it can be used on the delicate surfaces, without causing surface damage or loss of material. The short length of the beam contains the operation in a small area and requires only the operator to wear protective glasses. If required screens can be erected to mask the working surface and ensure no one can see the beam in operation.
Cleanliness
The laser removes surface coatings like varnish, paint and staining due to air pollution, providing the highest standard of cleanliness of all available methods. By using no abrasives machines, can be cleaned without disassembling them and without the possibility of abrasive getting into the moving parts of machines. All the material removed by the laser is vacuumed up with an attachment fitted to the tool head.
Environmental Performance
During cleaning, no harmful substances are produced. The only used medium is electricity, and the materials which are removed are safely collected by the HEPA extraction system, the process meets the highest environmental standards.
Selectivity
The advanced control system provides a wide range of beam modifications, thanks to which we can selectively remove even particular layers of coatings without affecting the others. Depending on the requirements, we can control the thickness of the removal layer with an accuracy of micrometres.
