Laser cleaning machine range

Laser Cleaning Machines — Matched to Your Power, Mobility and Material

Five laser cleaner series from a 100W backpack unit for field service to a 3000W water-cooled system for heavy industrial throughput. Compare them side by side below, then send your material for application testing before you order.

How to choose

Three questions that point you to the right machine

Picking a laser cleaner comes down to where you work, how heavy the contamination is and how much you need to clean per shift. Start with the question that fits you.

Where will you clean?

On-site service calls and fieldwork favour a cordless backpack or a light handheld unit. A fixed workshop or production line can run a cabinet system with a longer duty cycle.

Field service → backpack / handheld

How heavy is the layer?

Thin oxide, paint and delicate parts suit pulsed lasers for finer control. Thick rust, mill scale and large steel surfaces call for high-power continuous-wave output.

Thick rust → continuous-wave

How much per shift?

Occasional detail work runs comfortably at 100–500W. High daily volume on steel structures or shipyards needs 1500–3000W water-cooled systems built for continuous duty.

High volume → 1500–3000W

Find the Right Laser Cleaner
Side by side

Compare the laser cleaner range

Cleaning speed depends on material, rust thickness, coating type, laser power, scanning width and operator setup, so it is best confirmed on your own sample. The platform differences below hold across the range.

Three questions

A simple decision tree to your machine

Work through these in order. Each answer narrows the five series to the one that fits your job, budget and material.

1

How do you want to start?

Lowest entry and a mobile service — a portable backpack or handheld. A precise shop platform — pulsed. A production capital asset — high-power continuous-wave.

Entry → portable · Capital → CW
2

Where do you clean?

On-site, at height or in the field favours backpack and handheld. A workshop with detailed parts favours pulsed. A line, yard or large structure favours high-power CW.

Field → portable · Line → CW
3

What is the material?

Thin, detailed or heat-sensitive parts need pulsed control. Heavy rust on large steel needs continuous-wave throughput. Mixed light work on-site suits a portable unit.

Detail → pulsed · Heavy → CW

The honest answer

What determines cleaning speed

Whichever series you choose, there is no single fixed speed. The rate depends on the variables below, so we report a measured figure for your material rather than a catalogue number.

  • Material — steel, stainless, aluminium and composites respond differently
  • Contaminant & thickness — light oxide clears far faster than heavy rust or thick coating
  • Coating type — paint, powder coat and epoxy behave differently
  • Laser power — higher power lifts heavy contamination faster on large areas
  • Scanning width & spot — wider for coverage, tighter for detail
  • Surface condition & passes — pitting and heavy build-up can need more than one pass
  • Operator setup — settings tuned to the job keep the rate consistent
How to assess your job
  • Material and rough contaminant thickness
  • Contaminant type (rust / paint / oxide / oil)
  • Surface area and weekly volume
  • Target cleanliness for the next step
  • Indoor, on-site or at height
  • A representative sample part

Send these with a sample and we report a measured rate — model the payback with the ROI calculator.

Before you order

Choosing a laser cleaner, answered straight

Which machine in the range is right for me?
Start with the decision tree above: how you want to start, where you clean and what your material is. Portable backpack and handheld suit mobile service; pulsed suits precision and detail; high-power CW suits heavy rust and large surfaces. If you are unsure, send a sample and we will recommend the right series with evidence.
Pulsed or continuous-wave — which do I need?
Pulsed gives fine control for thin, detailed and heat-sensitive work — molds, automotive, aluminium. Continuous-wave delivers throughput for heavy rust and large steel at volume. See the method comparison, or the pulsed and high-power series.
How much power do I need?
Light or detailed work runs comfortably at 100–500W; heavy rust and large structural surfaces need 1000–3000W. The right figure depends on your contamination and volume, which a sample test confirms rather than a catalogue number.
How fast does it clean?
Cleaning rate depends on material, contaminant thickness, laser power, scanning width and operator setup, so we avoid a fixed figure. Send a sample and we report the measured rate for your job — see the speed factors above.
Can I test it on my own material first?
Yes — sample testing is the most reliable way to decide. Send a representative part and we clean it on the recommended series, then share the result, settings and cycle data. Start on the contact page.
How much power does it consume?
Consumption scales with the rated laser power — a 100–300W portable unit draws far less than a 1000–3000W system. We provide the power-draw specification for your configuration so you can plan your supply or a generator.
Can it be integrated into automation?
Yes — the cleaning head can be handheld for flexible work or mounted to a fixed station or robot for repeatable cleaning on a line. We help scope handheld versus fixed-head integration for your throughput.
What about warranty and after-sales support?
We supply spare parts, technical support and remote troubleshooting, and agree response expectations as part of your supply terms. Warranty coverage, duration and parts are set out in writing on your quote.
