Laser Ablation and Dry Ice Blasting Offer a Cutting-edge and Sustainable Approach to Industrial Cleaning Combining Efficiency, Safety, and Environmental Responsibility.
Why use Laser Ablation and Dry Ice?
Precision: The processes are highly effective in removing contaminants such as rust, paint, grease, adhesives and other synthetic and organic residues without causing damage to the underlying surface.
Environmentally Friendly: Green cleaning solutions as they do not involve the use of chemicals and only leave the dislodged contaminant to clean up. The carbon dioxide used is reclaimed from industrial processes, making it a sustainable choice.
Non-Abrasive: Unlike traditional abrasive cleaning methods, Dry Ice Blasting won't erode or wear down surfaces, preserving the integrity of machinery and equipment extending service life. The laser can be adjusted to suit each substrate and contaminant making it a very controlled and safe process.
Reduced Downtime: The absence of chemicals/water and minimal cleanup requirements mean that equipment can often be cleaned in place, reducing downtime and increasing overall operational efficiency.
Safe and Non-Toxic: Both of our processes eliminate the need for harsh chemicals. They also non-toxic and do not introduce additional contaminants into the environment.
Versatility: Applied across various industries, including oil, gas and power generation plants, manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage, electronics, historical preservation, property maintenance and more making KMS a versatile solution for diverse contaminant removal needs.
What can be cleaned with our methods?
The uses of Laser Ablation and Dry Ice blasting are almost limitless, being able to offer both methods allows us to offer a very unique and cost effective solution, we can tailor our process to your specific requirements providing one of our methods or both, below is a quick overview of typical applications:
Oil, Gas, Power and Heavy Industry: Rust removal, NDT preparation, weld cleaning, cleaning of electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, conveyor systems, generators, turbine components and so much more.
Tool and Die Cleaning: The precision makes it ideal for cleaning molds, dies, and tooling in manufacturing processes. It helps maintain the quality and efficiency of production tools without substrate loss.
Construction Equipment Cleaning: Construction machinery and equipment often accumulate layers of grease, oil, and other contaminants during operation. KMS provides a non-abrasive and efficient method for cleaning construction equipment, ensuring optimal performance and extending the life of the machinery.
Automotive: Both methods can be used to clean components in situ at our workshop, we can cater to your requirements be it a full under vehicle clean removing road grime and contaminants and resealing your vehicle, under bonnet clean removing oil, dirt etc or specific areas of the vehicle you want addressing. We can also apply these methods to individual pieces of the vehicle you may want to drop off and collect, we can also offer our mobile service if the items are too big/heavy to transport providing you have a suitable workspace. The processes ensures thorough DRY cleaning without introducing secondary contaminants.
Food Processing Equipment Cleaning: Processing equipment, stainless steel surfaces, conveyor belts, and other machinery. It provides a hygienic and efficient cleaning method with minimum disassembly required.
Brick and Stone Cleaning: Used to clean and restore the appearance of brick and stone surfaces. Remove dirt, grime, graffiti and other contaminants without causing damage to the delicate surfaces.
Concrete Surface Preparation: Before applying coatings, overlays, or performing repairs, it's essential to prepare concrete surfaces. We can remove contaminants such as old paint, adhesives, grease, and dirt from concrete surfaces without causing damage, providing a clean and profiled surface for improved bonding of coatings or repairs.
Mold and Mildew Removal: Effective in removing these contaminants from construction materials such as wood, painted surfaces, and concrete, ensuring a healthy indoor environment.
Historic Restoration: Historic structures or artifacts, both methods can be used to clean surfaces without causing damage. Effectively removing dirt, grime, and contaminants from delicate surfaces.
Printing Press Cleaning: Removing ink, paper dust, and other residues. A thorough cleaning solution without the use of water or chemicals while in situ.
Fire Damage Remediation: Remove soot/smoke deposits from almost all hard surfaces, floors, walls, ceilings, providing a quick and efficient solution at a difficult time.
