Laser Cleaning Solution for the railway
Laser Cleaning Solutions in the Railway Industry
Railroads and trains are primarily composed of metals. Laser cleaning systems are a proven alternative for removing oxidation, corrosion, paints and coatings from a wide variety of metals and alloys. It is with good reason that tracks, cars, machinery and many other components that are common to the railroad industry, are now being cleaned with lasers. Terminals and stations also have great applications for laser cleaning systems. We have supplied systems to remove graffiti off of cars, remove lead based paints from steel structures and clean just about any metallic and stone surfaces.
Challenge: Continuous Rolling Stock Maintenance
One of the recurring challenges is rolling stock cleanliness. During service, wagon and locomotive components become covered with dirt, rust, oil deposits, and deteriorated paint layers. Traditional cleaning methods—such as sandblasting and chemical washing—are slow, expensive, labor-intensive, and generate significant amounts of waste.
Solution: Laser Cleaning
Laser cleaning represents an innovative and sustainable alternative to outdated methods in the railway industry.
