Laser Cleaning for Plant & Heavy Machinery
Heavy plant — excavators, cranes, concrete mixers, crushing equipment, and construction machinery — operates in conditions that generate heavy corrosion and contamination. Laser cleaning is effective for structural rust removal and surface preparation on these large, complex steel structures. High-power CW systems are the primary tool for plant maintenance where throughput on heavy contamination is the priority.
Plant & Machinery Use Cases
Excavator and digger structural cleaning
Rust removal from excavator arms, buckets, chassis sections, and undercarriage components prior to inspection, repair, or repainting.
Crane structure maintenance
Mobile crane jibs, lattice sections, and structural components. Laser cleaning is effective on the high-yield structural steels used in modern crane construction.
Concrete and aggregate plant
Concrete batching plant, crushers, conveyors, and aggregate processing equipment — accumulated concrete deposits, rust, and contamination removed without dismantling.
Compaction and paving equipment
Road rollers, paving machines, and compaction equipment — structural rust removal and surface preparation for overhaul and remarketing.
Generator and power unit housings
Generator sets, compressors, and power unit skid frames — corrosion removal for inspection and ongoing maintenance.
Hire fleet refurbishment
Plant hire companies refurbishing returned equipment — laser cleaning removes surface rust and contamination ahead of repainting before the machine returns to the hire fleet.
