Realization

Different industries often have very specific requirements for removing different impurities from different surfaces . A typical application is laser cleaning of injection molds. With it, there is practically no loss of material and no wear even after the process has been repeated many times. In this way, residues of various polymers such as PE, PP, ABS, PET, rubber , etc., or their charred remains after accidents or inappropriate molding parameters, can be very effectively removed. In these cases , we combine laser cleaning with chemical and mechanical cleaning .
 

Vacuum chambers and clean rooms

Another application offered is laser cleaning of vacuum chambers. Using a laser, we are able to remove organic and inorganic deposits on the inner walls of the chambers. Thanks to the removal of dust particles and porous impurities with a large specific surface, the required vacuum is subsequently established more quickly, and there is no evaporation and subsequent contamination of industrial processes. Another similar application is laser cleaning of clean spaces. Thanks to it, it is possible to significantly reduce the amount of dust particles. Our workers have many years of experience in the operation of clean rooms according to GMP and ISO classification , a modified pulse laser minimizes the emission of dust particles and the risk of microbial contamination.

Processes tailored to clients

In addition to the applications mentioned above, we deal with a tailor-made optimized process. We often supplement laser cleaning with chemical cleaning , where the advantages of these methods are combined. In an essentially non-contact way , impurities of both organic and inorganic origin can be removed with maximum care for the underlying material.

Cleaning of glass tubes

One specific example is the cleaning of the inner walls of quartz glass tubes , which occurs at very high temperatures in a reducing atmosphere. Impurities containing an organic phase, lubricant residues, carbon and a significant amount of chromium and nickel carbide and other metal complexes are mechanically resistant, chemically inert, and even a temperature of around 2000°C does not affect their structure. The previous mechanical cleaning was associated with damage to the inner surface of the tubes and subsequent higher deposition of impurities. Using a pulsed laser and a subsequent multi-stage chemical rinse, we clean the inner walls of the tubes without any damage or surface wear.

Cleaning without disturbing the surface

Another example is the laser cleaning of the surfaces of the production line for applying hot melt adhesives to glass panes. With the help of a laser , surfaces can be cleaned without their lengthy and expensive disassembly and longer-term stoppage of the production process. Compared to chemical cleaning , laser cleaning is significantly faster , it is not necessary to dismantle the bearings. The fine surface structuring of the application roller is not disturbed .
