Industrial surface laser cleaning

Professional laser cleaning services

Industrial laser cleaning is one of the most advanced and effective methods for surface treatment today. By using high-intensity light pulses, it selectively removes unwanted layers such as oxides, rust, paint, grease, or manufacturing residues without damaging the underlying material.

Compared to traditional methods, such as sandblasting, water jetting, or chemical treatments, laser cleaning provides a faster, safer, and more environmentally friendly solution, reducing both maintenance time and costs.

FES Global Group is among the only 40 companies worldwide to operate a 1,000W industrial laser with Top-Hat system, a cutting-edge technology that allows us to tackle complex projects and large surfaces while achieving exceptional results.

What are industrial laser cleaning services and how does they work?

The process is based on the controlled vaporisation of contaminants using a high-intensity laser beam. Industrial laser cleaning is an innovative, non-abrasive technology that uses the energy of the laser beam to rapidly heat impurities, causing them to evaporate or sublimate. This allows for the selective removal of rust, paint, grease, industrial oils, encrustations, and other surface residues without compromising the integrity of the underlying material.

Unlike traditional methods such as sandblasting or chemical cleaning, laser cleaning does not require abrasives or chemicals, preserving the treated surface. The material remains intact, free from damage or aesthetic alterations, making the process less invasive and safer, even for delicate components or complex surfaces.

This approach allows you to:

Remove surface contaminants precisely and selectively
Maintain the mechanical and chemical properties of the material
Reduce maintenance time compared to traditional techniques

FES cutting-edge laser technology

FES operates a 1,000W industrial laser, one of the most powerful and advanced systems currently available on the market. At the heart of this technology is the Top-Hat system, which utilises a uniform beam distribution, unlike traditional Gaussian lasers.

This allows us to:

Work uniformly on very large surfaces
Minimise the risk of micro-cuts or thermal damage
Preserve colours, textures, and the integrity of the treated material

Key technical features:

Power: 1,000W
Flat-surface Top-Hat technology
Lower energy density for enhanced safety
Water-cooling system
Zero chemicals or abrasives

This advanced technology enables FES to tackle even the most complex projects, ensuring maximum efficiency, fast turnaround, and complete respect for the treated surfaces.
