Laser Cleaning Machines for Contaminant Removal
Laser cleaning machines have shown significant advantages in removing moss, mildew, and dust. It adopts a non-contact cleaning method, and through the photothermal, photo explosion, and photo-peeling effects of high-energy pulsed lasers, pollutants are rapidly heated, vaporized, and peeled off. Since the laser has little effect on highly reflective substrates, it can achieve “only cleaning, no damage to the substrate.” This effectively protects a variety of substrates, including walls, brick joints, metals, and stones.
- Laser cleaning does not require chemical detergents or high-pressure water, avoiding wet cleaning residues and secondary pollution. It eliminates the problem of repeated mold. In conjunction with a dust removal and adsorption device, it can also effectively protect the health of operators and truly achieve green environmental protection.
- The equipment utilizes pulsed laser output and features an intelligent control system. The cleaning depth is adjustable, and it supports functions such as path preset and automatic focusing.
- The laser cleaning machine has strong adaptability. It can clean a variety of materials, such as concrete and wood. The cleaning needs of complex shapes, such as carvings and gaps, can also be easily met.
Laser cleaning technology has been widely used to remove moss and mildew from cultural relics and garden stones. It is also used to clean dust in closed spaces, such as factory workshops, and for deep cleaning of heavily polluted areas, including residential facades. Laser cleaning offers efficient and environmentally friendly solutions for various cleaning applications.
Laser Cleaning vs. Traditional Cleaning Methods

How to Choose a Laser Cleaning Machine
for Contaminant Removal
1. Laser Type
Pulse fiber laser is the best choice. It can efficiently remove the contamination layer without burning the wall or stone.
2. Power Selection
It is recommended to use a 100W~300W laser cleaning machine. Whether it is a cultural relic or wooden products, walls, or stones, the mold stains or moss on the surface can be cleaned.
3. Cooling Method
The air-cooled cooling system utilizes fan-forced convection to dissipate the heat generated by the laser. It has a simple structure, small size, and is easy to carry. It is suitable for low-power, mobile operation scenarios. These scenarios include dust cleaning in the corners of the home and mildew treatment on the exterior walls of small shops. Staff can easily carry the equipment to perform cleaning work in different areas.
4. Cleaning Head Type
Adjustable focal length and lightweight handheld cleaning heads are preferred. This cleaning head can improve the operating efficiency in areas such as corners or ground gaps. The cleaning head with reinforcement measures can effectively prevent the pulling action during use from damaging the optical fiber.
5. After-sales Service
High-quality after-sales service ensures that, regardless of where the equipment fails, professional repair services can be obtained promptly. This greatly reduces downtime caused by equipment failure. The rapid supply of spare parts ensures that original parts can be obtained in time when the equipment needs to be replaced. This ensures that the equipment resumes normal operation as soon as possible and maintains the continuity of operations. The economic losses caused by equipment maintenance problems can also be greatly reduced.
FAQs
Will moss and mildew grow again after removal?
Laser cleaning can completely remove surface spores. With drying treatment, the recurrence rate is much lower than traditional wet cleaning methods.
Will it damage cultural stones, relief walls, or painted walls?
No. Laser cleaning is a non-contact cleaning method with controllable output. It will not damage textures, colors, or coatings.
Is there any odor or dust during the laser cleaning process?
There will be slight smoke during cleaning, and it is recommended to use it with a vacuum cleaner. There is no odor and no toxic gases.
Can it be used on sensitive materials such as wooden walls and wood carvings?
Yes. You need to use a low-power laser and test it on a small scale first to ensure safety.
How efficient is laser cleaning compared to water washing?
Laser cleaning is completed in one go, without multiple rinses and drying. It is more efficient and particularly suitable for places where water cannot be used, such as indoors, power distribution rooms, and libraries.
Is the equipment expensive? Is it suitable for small cleaning companies?
The initial investment in laser cleaning machines is high. However, there are no consumables during operation, and the failure rate is low. This is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises with frequent operations. Choose domestic models to reduce costs.
