In the process of communicating with many customers, we are often asked a question: "is your fiber laser cleaning machine really environmentally friendly? How is it different from traditional cleaning methods?"
Today, I want to talk to you seriously about this question.
We are engaged in industrial equipment. In recent years, we have been exposed to many cleaning processes, from the initial chemical cleaning and sandblasting cleaning to now more and more customers are paying attention to laser cleaning. To be honest, traditional cleaning methods still have their value in certain working conditions, but when it comes to environmental protection, safety and efficiency, the advantages of fiber laser cleaning machine are really becoming more and more obvious.
How does laser cleaning work?
Fiber laser cleaning machine actually uses a high-frequency short-pulse laser beam to irradiate the surface to be cleaned, such as rust, oil, coating, oxide layer, etc. On the metal surface. These pollutants will absorb the laser energy, expand instantly, form plasma, and then become debris and be peeled off under the action of the shock wave. The whole process does not require any cleaning fluid or auxiliary materials.
This means that there will be no chemical waste discharge, and there is no need to use cloth, brush or sandblasting gun to rub repeatedly, which is naturally more environmentally friendly and will not damage the substrate.
Why do we say that fiber laser cleaning machine is "green and environmentally friendly"?
No chemical agents are used: This is the most direct environmental protection embodiment. Unlike acid or alkaline cleaning, which requires the treatment of a large amount of waste liquid, laser cleaning is truly waste-free and pollution-free.
1. No contact and no wear: There will be no physical damage like sandblasting or wire brushing, which is especially important for the protection of precision molds, electronic components or old artifacts.
2. Ability to clean complex structures: Laser can be transmitted through optical fiber, and can be cleaned at a long distance after being combined with a robotic arm, which is very suitable for complex structures and difficult to reach locations manually.
3. Strong adaptability: Laser cleaning can be used for different materials such as metals, non-ferrous metals, ceramics, carbon fibers, and the type of pollutants is not picky - rust, paint, glue, oxides, and oil stains can all be treated.
4. Low operating cost: Once the fiber laser cleaning machine is installed and debugged, it basically does not require consumables. Maintenance is simple, cleaning is fast, and long-term use is more economical than traditional methods.
Feedback from customers:
We have customers in the aviation manufacturing industry, as well as in the fields of cultural relics restoration, automobile maintenance, and rail transportation. Most of the feedback they gave me was concentrated on two words: "easy to handle". Not only is it easy to operate, it is also energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and you no longer have to worry about the pollution or material scrapping caused by the cleaning process.
If you are looking for a surface treatment method that is highly clean, safe to use, does not damage materials, and meets environmental standards, then the fiber laser cleaning machine is worth your understanding and even trying. Many countries are now promoting green manufacturing, and laser cleaning is a technology that fits this trend.
