Non-contact laser technology that cleans with pinpoint accuracy.

The Future of Surface Cleaning

Tired of Cleaning Tools That Cost More Than They Save?

How to Remove Rust, Paint, and Oil Without Damaging the Surface.

Laser cleaning is a non-contact, eco-friendly surface treatment method that uses high-energy laser beams to remove rust, paint, oil, oxides, and other contaminants from metal, stone, plastic, or glass surfaces.

Unlike sandblasting or chemical stripping, laser cleaning precisely targets unwanted materials without damaging the base surface.

It works by directing a focused laser pulse that heats and vaporizes surface contaminants or causes them to break away through micro-explosions, leaving a clean and intact substrate.


Ideal for industrial, automotive, and heritage restoration applications where precision and safety matter.

Laser Cleaning MaCHINES

Continuous Wave laser cleaning machine

1000W-3000W Optional

Constant Output:

CW lasers emit a continuous stream of light, like a lightbulb, with a constant power output over time. 

Applications:

Suitable for applications requiring a stable, consistent light source, such as laser cutting, welding, and certain types of material processing. 

Example:

A laser pointer is a simple example of a CW laser. 

Heat Generation:

While continuous, CW lasers can still generate significant heat, requiring cooling systems. 

Pulse laser cleaning machine

100W-1000W Optional

Intermittent Bursts:

Pulsed lasers emit light in short, high-energy bursts, with periods of no light in between. 

High Peak Power:

They can achieve very high peak power during the pulse, even with a relatively low average power. 

Applications:

Used for applications requiring high peak power, such as laser cleaning, material ablation, and certain types of surgery. 

Duty Cycle:

Pulsed lasers have a duty cycle, which is the ratio of pulse duration to the time between pulses. 

Examples:

Can be used for removing rust from metal or for some medical procedures. 

THE DIFFERENCE

The main difference between pulsed and continuous wave (CW) lasers lies in how they emit light: continuous lasers produce a constant, steady beam of light, while pulsed lasers emit light in bursts or pulses with gaps of no light in between.

CW lasers have a 100% duty cycle, meaning they are always on, while pulsed lasers have a much lower duty cycle. 

IN ESSENCE

If you need a steady, consistent light source, a continuous laser is appropriate. If you need very high peak power for short durations, a pulsed laser is better suited. 

Accessories Available

No Damage to substrate

Through laser ablation, the laser beam sends just enough energy to remove contaminants without affecting the base metal. This is possible because metal substrates have a higher ablation threshold than contaminants. The high cleaning quality of the laser means that no impurities can penetrate the base metal during the process as opposed to traditional methods.

APPLICATIONS

Surface rust removal

Surface paint stripping and removal

Dust and debris removal from statues' surfaces

Surface oil, stain, and dirt cleaning

Surface coating layer removal

Residue cleaning from rubber molds

Welding surface/spray surface pre-treatment

LaSER pAINT rEMOVAL

Laser cleaning can remove most types of coatings, including powder coating, e-coating, and phosphate coating. The coating removal speed mostly depends on the type of coating and its thickness. It can be sped up with more laser power.

Laser oXIDE rEMOVAL

Laser cleaning can remove aluminum oxides and stainless-steel oxides, making it ideal to prepare surfaces for other processes like laser welding and coating to make sure no contaminants penetrate the welds or lower adhesion. Laser can also be used for post-weld cleaning for performance or aesthetic purposes.

Laser Rust rEMOVAL

Fiber laser cleaning systems can remove rust and general corrosion. These contaminants can be completely removed with no damage to the substrate.

Laser Surface Texturing

Laser texturing is a surface treatment that can be done at the same time as laser cleaning to modify the surface texture. Micropatterns can be etched on the surface to improve properties like adhesion, wettability, conductivity, and friction. It is used as a pre-treatment for processes like thermal spray coating, adhesive bonding, and laser cladding.

Benefits of Laser Cleaning

Why More Professionals Are Replacing Chemicals and Sandblasting with Lasers:

Laser cleaning is an environmentally friendly process that replaces cleaning methods that rely heavily on consumables such as sandblasting

and chemical cleaning. With a low energy consumption, a compact design, and a laser source with a long operating life, fiber lasers have a real impact on your ability to greenify your processes.

ECO-FRIENDLY

No chemicals, no abrasive media, and no hazardous waste

PLUG & PLAY

Easy setup, portable units available for field work

COST SAVINGS

Reduces labor, downtime, and material costs over time

Low Maintenence

The Future of Surface Cleaning

Laser Cleaning vs. Traditional Methods

Why Laser Cleaning Leaves Sandblasting in the Dust

0:00
0:00

When it comes to surface preparation and industrial cleaning, traditional methods like sandblasting, chemical stripping, and abrasive grinding have been the norm for decades. But they come with serious downsides—health hazards, mess, equipment wear, and high operating costs.

Laser cleaning is changing the game by offering a cleaner, safer, and more cost-effective alternative. Here’s why businesses across the Caribbean are making the switch:

Laser Cleaning Advantages

No Surface Damage

Targets only the contaminants—no abrasives, no scratches, and no substrate degradation.

Precision Cleaning

Clean only what you want—ideal for fine details, complex parts, and sensitive materials.

Safe for Operators

No exposure to airborne particulates or toxic fumes.

Eco-Friendly Process

No chemicals, no blasting media, and no hazardous waste to dispose of.

Low Operating Costs

No need for constant replenishment of sand, solvents, or PPE gear.

Minimal Cleanup

Vaporizes or lifts contaminants without generating secondary waste.

Traditional Methods: The Hidden Costs

High Consumable Costs

Regular purchases of sand, chemicals, and replacement parts add up quickly.

Surface Damage Risk

Abrasive techniques can damage surfaces, especially softer metals and fine details.

Messy & Labor Intensive

Requires full cleanup crews, containment systems, and safety procedures.

Environmental Concerns

Generates waste and often violates modern environmental compliance standards.

Health Hazards

Operators face exposure to dust, chemicals, and high-decibel noise levels.
