Features and Benefits of Laser Stripping…
What does this technique consist of?

Do you want to clean your surface while respecting it as much as possible, for the treatment or cleaning of small or large parts “in small series” or “large series”?

Today,
many high-efficiency solutions exist, including the use of lasers for high-speed surface treatment: rust stripping, paint stripping, degreasing operations, etc., all with great precision !

Often known for its powerful and invisible rays as well as its pulses to hIn other energy, laser stripping is one of the most efficient solutions known to date. This unique technology consists of stripping and cleaning all metal surfaces without damaging them.

How does a laser work?

The

laser

concentrates light

energy

, which could be compared to micro projectiles
that attack and pulverize unwanted film (such as rust), at a rate of 200,000 pulses per minute, all with
great ease and above all great respect for the basic materials processed.

Examples : rusted surfaces, aluminium stripping (degreasing of surfaces), paint removal from ironwork, etc.

This technique transforms pollution into a plasma : the pollution is charged with thermal energy and is transformed into a compressed ionized gas , the expansion of which causes a fractionation and expulsion of the dirt, without damaging the substrate or support.

The process involves “recovering” the gases and particles generated during the intervention.

Illustration :

Let’s take a concrete example, you decide to sand a machine tool, completely rusted, still operational and efficient despite its age, but aesthetically “mediocre”.

You know for a fact that you are going to spend a lot, a lot, a lot… of time for an unsatisfactory result bordering on “can do better”.

“With laser stripping, the toughest coatings will be stripped instantly, without the slightest effort or fatigue.”
An impeccable result, your surface will be as good as new!

Why use this process?

Laser stripping has many advantages, it respects your entire surface while stripping and cleaning surfaces in an integrated way. The laser can reach the most difficult surfaces without any physical contact. Consider that there are different treatments.

Before using this process, it is important to note the nature of the basic materials, what material you want to remove from the surface and of course what cleaning force you need.

The 10 Benefits of Laser Cleaning

1. Respect for the surface (rust, paint, oil, soot, etc.)
2. Allows the toughest coatings to be treated without damaging or altering surfaces
3. No use of reagent
4. Environmentally friendly suction and filtration system
5. Removes coating in specific areas (even out of reach)
6. Usable indoors and outdoors
7. Non-contact process
8. Solvent-free
9. Compliance with environmental standards
10. No noise pollution

Examples of applications and sectors of activity

• Rust pickling, oxidation
