Mechanical Sealing Solutions now offer laser cleaning to their portfolio. The device was purchased to assist in the cleaning of mechanical seal parts and pump parts, for the removal of stubborn products such as burnt oils and Bitumens. This significantly reduced the time needed for cleaning parts, and a big cost saving on more traditional methods such as sand blasting and chemical solvents/degreasers etc.

Laser cleaning has minimal to no environmental impact and does not damage surfaces.
Sandblasting results in huge dirt and dust, requiring extractors and ventilation.

Chemical cleaning process cause environmental damage, and requires responsible disposal, besides health hazards from fumes and contact.

Manufacturing plants, medical labs, automotive, aviation and steel fabrication industries, are typical users for the preferred method of laser cleaning.

Typical applications include surface profiling and rust removal, descaling operations, preparation for welding and brazing, partial de-coating and selective paint removal. Laser cleaning can be used for restoration of antique parts, removing dirt and grime without damaging the substrate. In the food or medical industries, the laser can be used decontaminate surfaces and clean delicate parts or “hard-to-get-to-places”.
