Frequently Asked Questions
Product Selection Questions
For light to moderate rust on precision parts, a 200W-300W pulse laser ($6,500-$11,000) offers the best balance of effectiveness and substrate protection. For heavy industrial rust on large steel surfaces, a 1500W-2000W continuous wave laser ($3,800-$6,000) cleans faster at lower cost per square meter. The right choice depends on whether you prioritize precision or speed.
Pulse lasers emit short, high-energy bursts that vaporize contaminants instantly with minimal heat transfer to the base material. Continuous wave lasers emit a constant beam that heats and removes contaminants more aggressively. Pulse lasers cost more but protect delicate surfaces; CW lasers cost less and clean faster but can damage thin or heat-sensitive materials.
Yes. Pulse laser cleaners (100W-200W) remove paint, varnish, and coatings from wood without burning or damaging the grain. The laser vaporizes the coating layer by layer while the wood surface remains intact. This makes pulse lasers ideal for furniture restoration, antique refinishing, and architectural woodwork. CW lasers are not recommended for wood—they generate too much heat.
The best option under $5,000 is a 1000W-1500W continuous wave laser ($2,850-$4,500). These machines handle most rust removal and surface cleaning tasks efficiently. If you specifically need precision cleaning without heat damage, you'll need to increase your budget to $5,800+ for an entry-level 100W pulse laser.
Laser cleaning works on metals (steel, aluminum, copper, brass, titanium), stone, concrete, wood, plastics, rubber, glass, ceramics, and composites. Common applications include rust removal, paint stripping, oil and grease removal, oxide layer cleaning, weld preparation, coating removal, and mold cleaning. The laser type and power should match the material and contaminant.
Price & Cost Questions
Laser cleaning machine prices range from $2,850 to $28,000 depending on type and power. Entry-level 1000W continuous wave lasers start at $2,850. Mid-range 200W-300W pulse lasers cost $6,500-$11,000. High-power 500W pulse systems and 3000W industrial CW lasers range from $13,000-$28,000. Prices shown are FOB China factory prices, excluding shipping and import duties.
Chinese manufacturers offer lower prices due to: (1) lower labor and operational costs, (2) integrated domestic supply chains for laser sources and components, (3) factory-direct sales without distributor markups, and (4) intense domestic competition driving efficiency. Quality is maintained through certifications (CE, FDA, National High-Tech Enterprise) and experience supplying international markets. Buyers save 30-40% compared to purchasing through Western brands or distributors.
Operating costs are minimal compared to traditional cleaning methods. Electricity consumption ranges from 2-8 kW depending on power. There are no consumables like sandblasting media or chemicals. The main ongoing cost is eventual laser source replacement after 50,000-100,000 hours of operation (typically 10+ years of normal use). Many users report 70-90% cost reduction compared to sandblasting or chemical cleaning.
Yes. Many buyers finance laser cleaning machines through equipment leasing companies in their countries. Chihalo provides all documentation needed for financing applications: proforma invoices, technical specifications, CE certificates, and company credentials. Common financing terms are 24-60 months with 10-20% down payment. Contact us for referrals to financing partners experienced with Chinese equipment imports.
Buying & Trust Questions
Yes, when buying from established manufacturers with proper credentials. Verify these before purchasing: (1) CE certification for safety compliance, (2) National High-Tech Enterprise certification (Chinese government verification of technology companies), (3) track record supplying international markets, (4) clear warranty terms in writing, (5) references from previous customers. Chihalo meets all these criteria and has supplied laser equipment to European brands serving military and government clients for over 4 years.
Shipping times from China: sea freight takes 30-45 days, air freight takes 7-10 days, express courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS) takes 5-7 days. Production time before shipping is typically 15-20 days for standard models. Total delivery time ranges from 3-9 weeks depending on your shipping choice and destination. We provide tracking numbers and shipping documents for customs clearance.
Chihalo laser cleaning machines include: 2-year warranty on the laser source, 1-year warranty on the complete machine, lifetime technical support, and spare parts availability. Warranty covers manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use. We provide remote troubleshooting via video call, typically resolving issues within 24-48 hours. Spare parts ship by air express when needed.
We provide three levels of support: (1) Remote troubleshooting via video call—most issues are software or settings-related and resolved within hours, (2) Spare parts shipped by air express if components need replacement, (3) On-site technician dispatch for complex issues (available in select regions, additional cost). In 4+ years of exporting, over 95% of issues have been resolved remotely without requiring parts replacement.
Operation & Safety Questions
Basic operation takes 1-2 hours to learn. Chihalo provides: operation manuals in English, video tutorials covering all functions, remote training via video call, and preset cleaning modes for common applications. The machines feature user-friendly touchscreen interfaces. No special technical background is required. Advanced training for optimizing parameters on specific materials is available upon request.
Laser cleaning is safe when proper precautions are followed. Required safety equipment: laser safety glasses matching the wavelength (included with machine), protective clothing covering exposed skin, ventilation or fume extraction for vaporized contaminants. Our machines include: safety interlocks that disable the laser when covers are opened, emergency stop buttons, and protective housing. All units are CE certified for safety compliance.
Handheld units require minimal space—just enough room to maneuver around your workpiece. The machine cabinet is approximately 60cm x 80cm x 100cm for most models. You'll need standard electrical supply (220V single-phase for units under 2000W, 380V three-phase for higher power). Good ventilation or a fume extraction system is recommended when cleaning painted or coated materials indoors.
