Problem — rust destroys metal

Corrosion is one of the main enemies of metal structures. Traditional derusting methods are labor-intensive and often damage the base material.

Solution — laser ablation

Pulsed laser selectively removes the rust layer, the base metal remains undamaged. The process is fast, clean and precise.

Cleaning process step by step

1

Diagnosis

We assess corrosion depth and material condition.

2

Laser ablation

We remove rust layer by layer.

3

Verification

Quality control and result documentation.

Example project

Derusting industrial pipelines

Pipelines in a chemical plant covered with years of corrosion. Sandblasting impossible due to proximity to electrical installations.

40 running meters of pipeline cleaned in 2 days. No production stoppage.

Frequently asked questions

How deep rust can the laser remove?

Laser effectively removes rust up to class C4 per ISO 8501-1, including deep corrosion with pitting.

Won't rust come back after cleaning?

After laser cleaning, we recommend corrosion protection. The clean surface is ideal for painting.

Can rust be cleaned in hard-to-reach places?

Yes — the laser head is compact and reaches tight spaces, welds and corners.

How long does laser rust removal take?

Speed depends on corrosion depth. On average, we clean 3-5 m² of rust per hour.
