How Laser Cleaning Creates Positive Impact on Environment?

Motivation behind the development of laser cleaning technology is negative environmental impact and wearing of substrates due to conventional cleaning methods. Laser cleaning is the process of cleaning residues, contaminants, paints from surface of material. In spite being a new technology it is finding widespread use in industries from around the world.

Laser Cleaning machines clean material surfaces without using water, chemical or abrasive materials which makes them environment friendly with no wastage of water, no toxic chemical residue. Abrasive blasting damages delicate surfaces creating huge amount of solid waste. Use of chemical solvents generates liquid waste and potentially toxic vapors causing pollution of terrestrial, aquatic and atmospheric systems.

These systems when used for cleaning monuments, vaporizes dirt, carbonaceous particles, oxides and other organic and inorganic particles without generating any kind of waste. Laser cleaning is an efficient process to clean and restore the historic monuments without damaging them and the microbial flora living inside.

Traditional cleaning technologies like CNC routers require more power than Laser cleaning system for doing the same job. These Routers have a tool bit of 6-7mm diameter generally and needs greater offset between pieces leading to more material wastage.

Laser cleaning machines remove hazardous coatings, paints from steel structures like ships, bridges, power transmission towers and large industrial equipments along with contaminants like oil, grease, oxides, chlorides and many more in one step. This process do not require any kind of after clean up as it only generates dust as waste.

The challenging task of cleaning tire molds becomes quite easy with these handheld and fully automated laser cleaning systems because of their flexibility to clean difficult surfaces quickly. These machines removes fouling and residues from sensitive surfaces without causing any wear to the surface. It does not force debris into micro vents. Laser cleaning extends mold life thus decreasing number of tires thrown each year. This ultimately reduces the negative impact on the environment caused due to toxic smokes of tire fire and health concerns cause due to breeding of mosquitos in these tires.
