Giving raw materials a new lease of life has never been easier
This is a very effective, gentle renovation technique that cleans your surfaces delicately while minimizing its impact on the substrate.
Laser cleaning in detail
The success of laser cleaning can be attributed to the numerous advantages of the process.
Laser beam cleaning is a method that, for quite some time now, is no longer solely implemented for mold cleaning, but that can also be implemented to clean a wide range of different components during processing. The success of laser cleaning as an alternative to conventional cleaning methods can be attributed to the numerous advantages of the process. For one, the method only incurs very low operating costs, since no cleaning agents are used and no waste disposal is required. Secondly, the process is very precise and gentle on surfaces. Finally, the excellent cleaning results that can be achieved with the laser beam are ultimately the decisive factor. The laser evaporates oxides, dirt particles of all kinds and above all impurities from polymer-based lubricants, which are particularly difficult to remove, in a matter of seconds. The remaining surface is perfectly prepared for subsequent machining, e.g. laser welding.
What we do, We do it MUCH better!
Paint Removal
Laser cleaning is great for partial or complete removal of paint, without damaging the substrate. The process can be applied to metals like stainless steel, carbon steel, copper and aluminum. It can be used to remove most types of coatings, including powder coating. Laser cleaning can instantly remove paint, without the need for chemicals or abrasive media blasting, making most environmentally friendly paint removal option.
Powder Coating & Paint Stripping
Laser cleaning makes outdated coating-removal techniques, such as sandblasting, a backbreaking thing of the past! Sandblasting and chemical striping can be time consuming and harmful to the substrates involved. Laser cleaning, of safely removes the coatings without damage to the substrate. When completed there is no additional clean-up needed.
Rust Removal
Corrosion, rust, and oxides cause significant damage and drastically shorten the life and performance of parts and equipment. Laser rust removal is faster and greener alternative to sandblasting and chemical removal methods since it completely removes rust and corrosion to the bare metal without altering the integrity of the metal itself. Our quick set-up and break-down time, makes laser rust removal the perfect solution for restoration and maintenance of parts and equipment.
Grease & Oil Removal
Until now grease removal using traditional methods of cleaning is expensive, messy and time consuming. Advanced Laser Restoration can easily degrease any surface quickly. Grease and oil have the advantage that they’re usually dark or completely black when they need to be removed. This is ideal for laser cleaning. Because a dark, contaminated layer absorbs the heat of the laser beam quickly and evaporates without damaging the substrate. Our Technicians can remove grease and oil from a variety of different surfaces including engine blocks, transmissions, mechanical parts, equipment, and even tools.
Graffiti Removal
Laser cleaning is great for removing graffiti. The laser will quickly heat up the paint layers, which then evaporate away. The substrate remains cool because of its higher ablation temperature, restoring the underlying stone, brick, steel or cement to it’s original glory. And there’s no waste to clean-up afterwards thanks to our HEPA air scrubber and HEPA vacuum system.
Biofilm Removal
A biofilm is a collection of microorganisms that grow on many different surfaces. Microorganisms that form biofilms include bacteria, fungi and algae. Biofilm cannot be completely removed with rinsing or chemicals, but can be killed and vaporized with laser cleaning, preventing further growth and drastically extending the time between cleanings.
Removal of Soot Deposits
Fire is one of the most destructive forces on the planet. When properly used laser cleaning is the perfect solution for restoring surfaces which have been subject to fire damage. The laser will leave the underlying surface intact, but it will remove the soot build up that occurs during a fire. Surfaces suitable for the removal of soot, even if the soot has been on there for a long time, include: brick, concrete, glass, steel, cast iron, aluminum, chrome coating, natural stone, tiles and ceramics, most sorts of wood, and plaster.
Heritage Conservation & Restoration
Restoration and conservation require special care and a delicate touch so that surfaces are not damaged. Laser cleaning is gentle and effective. It is also a non-abrasive, no-contact method to remove harmful and unattractive surface deposits without sandblasting, chemicals, and pressure washing, that can permanently damage the surface or worse, destroy it. Benefits include, no use of harmful chemicals, no wastewater runoff or blasting media left behind to dispose of when finished. Any dust can be cleaned up with our HEPA vacuum. The whole process truly green and clean. This means that there will be no waste running off into waterways and no airborne particles dispersing into the air.
Injection Mold Cleaning
Laser cleaning injection molds is an economical alternative to traditional methods. Laser cleaning is an environmentally sustainable process that quickly and safely removes stubborn plastic or food residue without the need for chemicals or abrasive blasting, leaving the mold with its original profile.
Wood Stripping
When it comes to restoring wood surfaces, Advanced Laser Restorations offers a cutting-edge solution with laser stripping technology. This method surpasses traditional sanding and chemical stripping in several key ways. First and foremost, laser stripping is incredibly precise, removing layers of paint, varnish, or other coatings without damaging the underlying wood. This precision ensures the preservation of intricate details and the natural beauty of the wood grain, which can be compromised with abrasive sanding or harsh chemicals.
Nuclear Decontamination
Laser decontamination in the nuclear industry
The increasing scale of dismantling of nuclear power plants in Europe and worldwide, leads to massively rising costs. The conditioning and final storage of radioactive waste and secondary residues produced by conventional decontamination pr
Burn off
Burn-off cleaning is a high-temperature process that removes grease, food residue, or coatings by turning them into ash, commonly used for grills, ovens, and industrial parts.
