| CIProcess launches Backpack Laser Cleaning system ![]() It offers a safe cleaning method and is environmentally friendly, using no water or chemicals and producing no effluent, as well as being small, light and fully portable. The Backpack laser is suitable for industrial cleaning and surface treatment, renovation and paint removal applications, as well as removing contaminants, production residue and coatings without damaging the substrate. The laser is also ideal for restoration and conservation, including façade restoration, architectural and sculpture conservation and monument and artifact cleaning. With great interest from leading companies and governments throughout the world, the Backpack lasers are available in portable or stationary versions, and special designs are also available. The lasers direct a high precision programmable scanning beam onto the cleaning surface, which reflects laser energy. Any contaminants on the surface absorb the laser energy and are quickly vaporized, with any fumes or particulates removed by an in-built filter. This gentle cleaning method avoids the erosion and abrasion that normally occurs with most other cleaning methods. The new lasers are coming to the UK in November to carry out demonstrations around the country. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
