Questions About Laser Cleaning Machines

[jackmason]

Hello everyone.

I'm considering investing in a laser cleaning machine for industrial applications, specifically for removing rust, paint, and other surface contaminants. I've seen several options available, including the HANTENCNC models, but I'm not sure what to look for.

What are the key factors to consider when choosing a laser cleaning machine? How do they compare to traditional cleaning methods in terms of efficiency and cost? Are there any specific brands or models, like HANTENCNC , that you would recommend for heavy-duty use?

Any advice from those who have experience with these machines would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

We’ve been working with laser cleaning machines for some time now and continue to see growing interest across various industries—from metal fabrication to automotive restoration and mold maintenance.

However, many users and newcomers still have questions when choosing the right machine or applying the technology in real-world scenarios.

Here are some of the most common questions we’ve come across:

How powerful does a laser cleaning machine need to be for rust removal? Is 100W enough, or do I need 200W or more for heavy-duty applications?

Can laser cleaning damage the base material? What materials are safe (and not safe) to clean with a laser?

What’s the difference between pulsed and continuous wave (CW) laser cleaners?

How does it compare with traditional methods like sandblasting or chemical cleaning?

Are portable or backpack laser cleaners reliable for field operations?

I'd love to hear your experiences, thoughts, or even questions you’ve encountered in your projects. If you’ve used a laser cleaning machine before—or are considering one—let’s talk!
