Manufacturing
Keeping a manufacturing plant operational can be a challenging task, and equipment maintenance is crucial to ensure efficient and uninterrupted production. Our laser cleaning technology is capable of degreasing and eradicating erosion, wear marks, and grime build-up from equipment, helping our customers to maintain their machinery in top condition.
In addition, we can effectively clean molds, removing any residue without damaging polished surfaces, leaving the molds intact. Our process is fast, effective, and non-damaging to the original surface.
Our portable laser cleaning technology allows us to move efficiently from machine to machine, without affecting the workflow of the entire operation. Furthermore, it can prepare surfaces for welding and clean up old weld joins that may be failing, making it easier to identify cracks and re-weld without the need for manual sanding.

Industrial
Applications of laser cleaning are widely used in industrial settings for a variety of purposes. It can be used to remove rust, paint, and other coatings from metal surfaces, as well as removing carbon and other deposits from engine parts. In the aerospace and aviation industry, laser cleaning is used to remove paint and other coatings from aircraft parts without causing any damage to the underlying material. In the manufacturing industry, it can be used to clean molds and dies, increasing their lifespan and improving the quality of the final product. It is also used in the power generation industry to remove mineral deposits and other contaminants from turbine blades and other equipment.
Automotive
Removing surface contamination during car restoration can be a messy and challenging task. Our laser cleaning technology offers quick and efficient solutions for various applications of laser cleaning, including cleaning engine and transmission parts, as well as the internal structure of the car. This process leaves a clean finish without any residual grease or chemical residue.
In addition, can we assist with identifying and removing corrosion when restoring an older vehicle? Our technology can also help to detail the car and remove stubborn stains that may have been present for years.

Electronics
In the electronic industry, laser cleaning can be utilized in many different ways. It can be used to remove contaminants, such as dust, oxide, and flux residues, from electronic components and PCBs without causing damage to the underlying substrate. It can also be used to remove old soldering paste, epoxy, and other adhesives from PCBs and electronic components during the manufacturing process, improving the quality and reliability of the final product. Our services cover maintenance and restoration of building and heritage sites, as well as monuments, statues, and art structures.
Art & Heritage
Art and historical sites are significant for preserving history, influencing culture, and shaping future generations. However, architectural restoration and conservation require a gentle approach to prevent surface damage.
Our laser cleaning technology offers a delicate and effective solution to restore and maintain architectural treasures like sculptures, statues, and building facades. It eliminates harmful and unsightly deposits without the use of chemicals or abrasive materials that may damage historic surfaces.
Our services cover building and heritage site maintenance and restoration, as well as monument, statue, and art structure maintenance and restoration. We also specialize in removing biofilm, coatings, and paint, as well as graffiti, mold, rust, and fire damage soot.
Medical
Medical professionals prioritize the health and safety of patients, and ensuring a clean and hygienic environment is essential in the medical industry. To prevent the spread of disease and infection, medical equipment needs to be kept free from contamination.
Our laser cleaning technology uses only light to vaporize contamination without the need for harsh chemicals that can create toxic waste or abrasive materials that could damage delicate medical equipment. This means that our technology can effectively clean medical equipment while maintaining a safe and healthy environment.
Our laser cleaning technology can be used in clinically clean environments and is ideal for cleaning a range of medical equipment, including autoclaves, boilers, heat exchangers, and aircon ducts.
Aerospace
We possess expertise in handling fragile substrates commonly used in the aerospace industry. Our laser cleaning technology is gentle and leaves no mess, enabling us to clean and restore surfaces without causing any damage.
We can effectively degrease engines and eliminate rust from older or weathered equipment using our laser cleaning technology. Additionally, we are equipped to prepare surfaces for Non-Destructive Testing, which can detect weld and engine block cracks, thereby identifying areas that may be prone to failure. This is crucial for minimizing aircraft downtime and preventing in-flight disasters.

Hospitality
Strict health and safety regulations require kitchens to maintain a high degree of cleanliness to ensure that consumers do not fall ill due to a dirty environment. However, kitchens get dirty quickly, and cleaning cooking equipment can be challenging, especially when dealing with tough stains. Traditional cleaning methods rely on chemicals, which can pose a health risk to consumers and staff if not completely removed.
At Nuwave Laser Cleaning, we use laser cleaning technology to clean commercial kitchens. Our laser cleaning process is safe and eco-friendly, and it cleans delicately to avoid damaging the cooking equipment. Our cleaning is so effective that tough stains don’t stand a chance.
Our services include laser cleaning of cooking equipment, industrial cooking ovens, industrial baking trays, stainless steel flattops, grease traps and trays, and removal of rust, mold, grease, and light oils.
Insurance
In the aftermath of a fire, our advanced laser cleaning technology can help with the cleanup efforts. We can efficiently remove soot from surfaces and restore affected areas.
Unlike traditional methods, our laser cleaning technology can remove soot without causing damage to the underlying surface. This provides a more cost-effective approach to assessing the extent of damage, rather than tearing everything out and starting over.
In addition, our technology can quickly remove graffiti, which not only affects a community’s sense of safety but also damages their reputation.
Our laser cleaning technology can be used on a range of materials including brick, facade, concrete, and wood. It can also identify areas of corrosion and clean mold.
