PhotonBlaster's Core Heavy-Duty Cleaning Scenarios
RUST REMOVAL: Remove iron oxide, rust layer & mill scale to restore metal substrate.
PAINT STRIPPING: Strip aged/failed coating, prepare qualified surface for re-painting.
DEGREASING: Eliminate processing oil, grease and surface contaminants to guarantee downstream-process quality.
PRE-/POST-WELD: Clean weld-seam oxide, contaminants, and weld-slag residue.
6 evaluation criteria for heavy-industry customer selection:
Processing efficiency
Surface quality
Labor dependency
Waste management
Site adaptability
Long-term cost
Seven Major Heavy-Industry Target Sectors
Shipbuilding & Repair
Large-area corrosion on hull plate, deck & weld seam. Cannot enter blast booth; dry dock charged by day.
Construction Machinery
Bucket/ boom heavy-rust & aged-paint refurbishment, mostly operated at outdoor job-site.
Steel-Structure
H-beam / box-girder pre-weld rust removal & post-weld spatter cleaning, tight project schedule.
Rail Transit
Bogie & axle high-precision components; zero substrate damage, narrow maintenance outage window.
Petro-Chemical
Storage tank, pipe & pressure-vessel pre-hot-work cleaning under rust-bearing running status.
Heavy-Duty Equipment
Motor housing & heavy machinery on-site refurbishment: localized precision rust-paint removal.
Tactical support and defence Equipment
Tactical vehicles - defence vehicles - security vehicles - support vehicles
Continuous-wave: higher heat, higher output, faster speed
Laser Cleaning: Pulsed or CW?
A continuous-wave (CW) laser beam is continuous and stable, so heat can conduct into the substrate, and the heat-affected zone is always larger than with pulsed cleaning. This higher heat can eventually cause deformation, oxidation, annealing, make carbon come free, or other loss of performance, particularly on heat-sensitive materials.
We present CW as the high-heat, high-output route for robust metal and suitable tough mineral or concrete surfaces, typically where the surface is being prepared for a coating, repaint or other finishing afterwards.
We do not recommend it for delicate, heat-sensitive, or high-value finished substrates: pulsed remains the controlled, substrate-protective route for precision work, tooling, components, and anything where heat input matters.
A CW laser is more dangerous for the eyes as well as the continuous power is much higher than a Pulsed laser.

Conventional Surface-Preparation Comparison
Laser cleaning versus ....
Process | Strengths | Drawbacks |
|---|---|---|
Manual Grinding | Flexible for small-spot local repair | Heavy labor, inconsistent finish, risk of substrate gouging |
Sand / Shot Blasting | High area throughput, mature process | Abrasive consumption, dust & hazardous waste; cannot process immovable large assets |
High-pressure Water | Low dust, robot-compatible | Water & wastewater handling; flash-rust; high-pressure safety risk |
Chemical Cleaning | Effective for certain contaminant categories | Chemical storage & PPE; waste-liquid treatment; material-compatibility constraints |
Laser Cleaning | Non-contact, zero-abrasive, portable on-site, fully-parameter-driven | Higher CAPEX; must select matching power & process recipe |
