What is a Laser Cleaning Machine?
A laser cleaning machine uses high-intensity fiber laser beams to remove rust, paint, oil, oxide layers, and other contaminants from surfaces — without physical contact, chemicals, or abrasive media.
How does it work?
The laser beam is absorbed by surface contaminants (rust, paint, grease) but reflects off the clean substrate underneath. This causes the contaminants to instantly vaporize or ablate, leaving the base material completely undamaged.
Think of it as “selective evaporation” — the laser only removes what you don’t want.
Why choose laser cleaning over traditional methods?
| Laser Cleaning | Sandblasting | Chemical Stripping | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consumables | ❌ None | ✅ Sand/media | ✅ Chemicals |
| Surface damage | ❌ None | ⚠️ Possible | ⚠️ Possible |
| Secondary waste | ❌ None | ✅ Large volumes | ✅ Toxic waste |
| Operator safety | ✅ Safe with goggles | ⚠️ Respiratory risks | ⚠️ Chemical exposure |
| Precision control | ✅ Micron-level | ❌ Limited | ❌ Limited |
Laser cleaning is faster, cleaner, safer, and cheaper to operate in the long run. The only “consumable” is electricity.

CW vs. Pulse Laser Cleaning Machine
Understanding the difference between Continuous Wave (CW) and Pulsed laser cleaners is the most critical step in your buying journey. Choosing the wrong type can result in damaged substrates or inefficient cleaning.
|

|
CW Laser Cleaner (Continuous Wave)
|
Pulsed Laser Cleaner (Gaussian/Top-hat)
|
|---|---|---|
|
Best For |
Large-scale rust removal, heavy paint stripping, steel structures, pipes. |
Precision cleaning, mold cleaning, antiques, electronics, graffiti on stone. |
|
Speed |
🚀 Very Fast (High efficiency for large areas) |
🐢 Moderate/Slow (Focuses on precision) |
|

Popular Power |
1000W, 1500W, 2000W, 3000W |
100W, 200W, 300W, 500W |
Quick Tip: If you are a welding shop, or factory removing heavy rust, choose a CW Laser (1500W or 2000W). If you are cleaning injection molds, auto repair garage historical artifacts, or thin aluminum parts, you need a Pulsed Laser.
How to Choose the Right Power?
Don’t just buy the highest wattage; buy what fits your application.
1000W: Good for light surface rust, thin paint, and small DIY projects. Portable and energy-efficient.
1500W (Best Seller): The “Gold Standard” for most shops. Perfect balance of speed and price. Cleans rust, oil, and paint effectively.
2000W / 3000W: Maximum speed. Required for thick rust layers (>100 microns) or if you need to clean large tanks/beams daily.
|
Power Level
|
Best Applications
|
|---|---|
|
50W - 100W (Entry Level) |
|
|
200W - 500W (Professional) |
|
|
1000W - 1500W (Industrial) |
|
|
2000W - 3000W+ (Heavy Duty) |
|
⚠️ Common Mistake: Buying more power than you need.
A 3000W laser costs 2-3x more than a 1500W—but if you’re only cleaning automotive parts, you won’t clean them faster. You’ll just pay more for electricity.
Match the power to your actual workload, not your biggest possible project.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes, but safety gear is mandatory. Our machines are Class 4 lasers. Operators must wear specific laser safety goggles (OD6+ protection for 1064nm wavelength) to prevent eye damage. We provide certified safety glasses with every machine.
No, if settings are correct. Laser cleaning is non-contact. The laser beam is absorbed by the rust or paint (ablation) but reflects off the clean metal underneath. Pulsed lasers are even safer for delicate substrates.
Fiber laser sources have a rated lifespan of up to 100,000 hours. That’s over 10 years of daily use. They require zero maintenance—no optical alignment or lamp changes needed.
No. The only "consumable" is electricity and the protective lens on the laser gun (which is cheap and easy to replace). This makes the operating cost very low compared to sandblasting.
CW lasers (1000W+) are generally too powerful and may scorch wood. For cleaning wood, stone, or historical artifacts, you must use a Pulsed Laser cleaner which allows for "cold" cleaning without thermal damage.
Every Chihalo laser cleaner includes:
✅ Complete laser cleaning system
✅ Handheld cleaning gun with 5-meter cable
✅ Laser safety glasses (1064nm rated)
✅ Basic fume extraction nozzle
✅ Control software with preset parameters
✅ Operator training (video tutorials + live support)
✅ 2-year warranty
✅ Lifetime technical support
Optional add-ons: industrial fume extraction, extended cables, automation packages.

We ship worldwide via DHL, FedEx, or sea freight for large orders. Tracking provided for all shipments.
Laser cleaning works effectively on:
Metals: Steel, aluminum, copper, iron, brass — removes rust, oxide layers, paint, and coatings without damaging the base metal.
Non-metals: Wood, stone, concrete, glass, rubber, and plastics — requires pulsed laser for delicate surfaces.
Delicate items: Historical artifacts, jewelry, electronic components — pulsed lasers provide "cold cleaning" without thermal damage.
Key rule: CW lasers (1000W+) are for heavy-duty metal cleaning. Pulsed lasers (100-500W) are for precision work on sensitive materials.
| Contaminant Type | Effectiveness |
|---|---|
| Rust & oxidation | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent |
| Paint & coatings | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent |
| Oil & grease | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good |
| Weld discoloration | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent |
| Mold release agents | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good |
| Carbon deposits | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good |
| Graffiti & ink | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good |
The laser vaporizes surface contaminants through ablation while the clean substrate reflects the beam — leaving the base material undamaged.

| Cost Factor | Laser Cleaning | Sandblasting |
|---|---|---|
| Consumables | $0 (electricity only) | $500-2,000/month (media) |
| Waste disposal | $0 (no secondary waste) | $200-800/month |
| Maintenance | Minimal (lens replacement ~$50/year) | High (nozzles, hoses, filters) |
| Labor | 1 operator | Often 2+ operators |
Bottom line: After initial investment, laser cleaning costs 70-80% less to operate than sandblasting. Most customers achieve ROI within 6-12 months.
