How Does It Work?
Heavy machinery cleaning involves the use of specialized methods to remove dirt, grease, rust, coatings, and other contaminants from large industrial equipment. One of the most effective modern techniques is laser cleaning, which uses focused laser beams to vaporize rust and grime without damaging the metal surface.
This non-contact process ensures a deep clean by targeting contaminants layer by layer. For more stubborn residues, laser intensity and pulse duration can be adjusted, ensuring thorough cleaning while preserving the machinery’s integrity. Traditional methods like pressure washing, chemical solvents, or abrasive blasting are often used in conjunction or when laser cleaning is not applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is laser cleaning safe for all types of heavy machinery?
A: Yes, laser cleaning is highly customizable and safe for most metals and machinery parts, but we always assess each case to ensure suitability.
Q: How often should heavy machinery be cleaned?
A: Cleaning frequency depends on the operating environment, but regular maintenance schedules typically range from monthly to quarterly.
Q: Can laser cleaning remove all types of coatings?
A: Laser cleaning effectively removes rust, paint, grease, and other surface contaminants, but very thick or specialized coatings may require supplementary methods.
Q: Does the cleaning process require machinery disassembly?
A: In many cases, no. Laser cleaning can be performed on-site without dismantling, saving time and reducing downtime.
Q: What are the environmental impacts of heavy machinery cleaning?
A: Laser cleaning produces minimal waste and no harmful chemicals, making it an environmentally friendly choice compared to traditional cleaning methods.
