Laser Cleaning Machines — Matched to Your Power, Mobility and Material
Five laser cleaner series from a 100W backpack unit for field service to a 3000W water-cooled system for heavy industrial throughput. Compare them side by side below, then send your material for application testing before you order.
Three questions that point you to the right machine
Picking a laser cleaner comes down to where you work, how heavy the contamination is and how much you need to clean per shift. Start with the question that fits you.
Where will you clean?
On-site service calls and fieldwork favour a cordless backpack or a light handheld unit. A fixed workshop or production line can run a cabinet system with a longer duty cycle.
Field service → backpack / handheldHow heavy is the layer?
Thin oxide, paint and delicate parts suit pulsed lasers for finer control. Thick rust, mill scale and large steel surfaces call for high-power continuous-wave output.
Thick rust → continuous-waveHow much per shift?
Occasional detail work runs comfortably at 100–500W. High daily volume on steel structures or shipyards needs 1500–3000W water-cooled systems built for continuous duty.
High volume → 1500–3000WFive laser cleaner series
Each series is built around a different balance of power, mobility and cooling. Open a series page for full specs, application notes and pricing guidance.

Find the Right Laser CleanerCompare the laser cleaner range
Cleaning speed depends on material, rust thickness, coating type, laser power, scanning width and operator setup, so it is best confirmed on your own sample. The platform differences below hold across the range.
| Model | Power | Laser type | Cooling | Mobility | Best suited for | Series |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LCB100-300W | 100–300W | Pulsed | Air-cooled | Backpack, cordless | On-site service & fieldwork | Handheld |
| LC100-300W | 100–300W | Pulsed | Air-cooled | Handheld, portable | Precision parts & detail cleaning | Handheld |
| LY100-500W | 100–500W | Pulsed | Air-cooled | Cabinet + handheld gun | Oxide, paint & mold cleaning | Pulsed |
| LCW1500-3000W | 1500–3000W | Continuous-wave | Water-cooled | Cabinet | Heavy rust & high throughput | High-power |
| HW1000-3000W | 1000–3000W | Continuous-wave | Water-cooled | Cabinet | Steel structure & shipyard scale | High-power |

A simple decision tree to your machine
Work through these in order. Each answer narrows the five series to the one that fits your job, budget and material.
How do you want to start?
Lowest entry and a mobile service — a portable backpack or handheld. A precise shop platform — pulsed. A production capital asset — high-power continuous-wave.
Entry → portable · Capital → CWWhere do you clean?
On-site, at height or in the field favours backpack and handheld. A workshop with detailed parts favours pulsed. A line, yard or large structure favours high-power CW.
Field → portable · Line → CWWhat is the material?
Thin, detailed or heat-sensitive parts need pulsed control. Heavy rust on large steel needs continuous-wave throughput. Mixed light work on-site suits a portable unit.
Detail → pulsed · Heavy → CW| If your answer leans… | Start with | See |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile service, on-site, low entry | Backpack & handheld (LCB / LC) | Handheld & backpack |
| Precision, molds, automotive, detail | Pulsed (LY100-500W) | Pulsed series |
| Heavy rust, large steel, production | High-power CW (LCW / HW) | High-power series |

What determines cleaning speed
Whichever series you choose, there is no single fixed speed. The rate depends on the variables below, so we report a measured figure for your material rather than a catalogue number.
- Material — steel, stainless, aluminium and composites respond differently
- Contaminant & thickness — light oxide clears far faster than heavy rust or thick coating
- Coating type — paint, powder coat and epoxy behave differently
- Laser power — higher power lifts heavy contamination faster on large areas
- Scanning width & spot — wider for coverage, tighter for detail
- Surface condition & passes — pitting and heavy build-up can need more than one pass
- Operator setup — settings tuned to the job keep the rate consistent
- Material and rough contaminant thickness
- Contaminant type (rust / paint / oxide / oil)
- Surface area and weekly volume
- Target cleanliness for the next step
- Indoor, on-site or at height
- A representative sample part
Send these with a sample and we report a measured rate — model the payback with the ROI calculator.
