  • Continuous-Wave Cleaning at Maximum Throughput

    6000W High-Power Continuous Laser Cleaning System

    Built for surfaces measured in hundreds of square metres, where a portable cleaner would take weeks. This continuous-wave station delivers 6000W of cleaning power through a beam up to 300 mm wide, stripping multi-layer marine coatings, heavy corrosion and mill scale in a single pass at rates a 2000W or 3000W system cannot approach. A dual-loop chiller keeps it running at 100% duty cycle through the whole shift, with HEPA and carbon filtration capturing the fume on board.

    Why 6000W

    A Platform That Compresses Project Time

    On a hull, a tank farm or a bridge, the schedule is set by how many square metres can be prepared in a shift. Tripling the average power changes what is possible within the same working window.

    • Larger area per shiftWhere a 3000W system needs roughly eight hours to clean 240 square metres of medium rust, the CL-6000-HC finishes the same area in about three and a half hours.
    • Fewer operators neededOne technician on a 6000W system typically replaces two to three operators working with conventional equipment.
    • Shorter project durationFaster cleaning moves the whole chain — coating, inspection and return to service — forward.
    • Consistent qualityUniform cleaning across large plates gives coating adhesion that does not vary from one panel to the next.

    Indicative rates by contaminant type and thickness. Single-pass figures unless a double pass is noted.

    Designed for Continuous Running

    Built to Run All Shift Without Derating

    Throughput only counts if it lasts. Every major subsystem is chosen for round-the-clock industrial duty.

    100% Duty Cycle

    Continuous operation through a full shift without the power derating that limits smaller systems on long jobs.

    Dual-Loop Cooling

    A 12 kW chiller with separate circuits for source and optics holds a steady thermal window at up to 40 °C ambient.

    Sealed IP65 Source

    A sealed laser source with active temperature monitoring and fault diagnosis for dusty and humid environments.

    On-Board Filtration

    Three-stage cyclonic, HEPA and carbon filtration captures fume at source, with pulsed-jet cleaning to extend filter life.

    System Composition

    Five Subsystems, One Cleaning Station

    The station is assembled from industrial modules so each part can be serviced without taking the whole system out of production.

    01

    Laser Source

    A 6000W continuous-wave fiber source with adjustable output from 10% to 100%, M² below 1.3 and stability within ±1.5% over eight hours.

    02

    Handheld Scan Head

    A galvanometer head weighing 3.5 kg with quick-change focus lenses at 200 mm, 300 mm and 500 mm, plus an assist-gas nozzle.

    03

    Dual-Loop Chiller

    12 kW of cooling capacity with separate circuits for source and optics, holding ±1 °C and shutting the laser down on flow loss.

    04

    Fume Extraction

    Cyclone pre-separator, HEPA filter rated to 99.99% at 0.3 µm, and an activated carbon stage for volatile organic compounds.

    05

    Mobile Cart and Cable Management

    A powder-coated steel cart on heavy locking castors carries the station, with an integrated cable reel and strain relief to protect the fiber and storage compartments for spare lenses, nozzles and tools.

    +

    Control and Job Memory

    A 15-inch industrial touch screen runs preset and manual modes with 100 user-configurable job profiles, so a shelf of part numbers can be cleaned without re-entering parameters.

    Technology Choice

    Continuous Wave or Pulsed — Which Fits the Job?

    Both processes remove contamination. The difference is whether average power or thermal control matters more on your parts.

    Comparison of continuous-wave and pulsed laser cleaning technology
    FactorPulsed LaserContinuous Wave (CL-6000-HC)
    Peak PowerVery high, in the megawatt rangeModerate at 6 kW average
    Average PowerLow to medium, 100–1000WHigh at 6000W
    Heat Build-UpMinimalLow, managed by scan speed
    Material SelectivityGoodExcellent
    Speed on Thin LayersGoodBetter
    Speed on Thick LayersLimitedExcellent
    Surface FinishLightly texturedSmooth and uniform
    Sensitivity to ReflectivityHighModerate
    Large Area SuitabilityLimitedExcellent

    For delicate parts where a temperature peak must be avoided entirely, choose a precision pulsed model. For heavy coatings on large steel, continuous wave wins on throughput.

    Mechanism of High-Speed Cleaning

    How the Beam Covers So Much Ground

    Four design choices turn 6000W of power into square metres per hour on the shop floor.

    A

    Galvanometer Scanner

    A high-speed closed-loop mirror system rasterizes the beam in a controlled pattern instead of relying on hand movement alone.

    B

    Wide Scan Pattern

    Scan width up to 300 mm covers a wide swathe in a single pass, so fewer overlapping strokes are needed.

    C

    Optimized Power Density

    Focus spot size is matched to the contamination thickness and material so energy is spent on the layer being removed.

    D

    Assist Gas

    Compressed air or nitrogen carries ablated material away, preventing redeposit and keeping the cleaned surface clear.

    Fume extraction works alongside the beam, keeping the working area clear during long cleaning runs.
    Industry Applications

    From Shipyards to Steel Mills

    01

    Shipbuilding & Repair

    Hull cleaning, deck preparation, ballast tank corrosion removal and weld cleaning. Hull areas run into hundreds or thousands of square metres, and only a high-speed system finishes within the docking window. Zero media means nothing discharges into the dry dock or waterway.

    02

    Structural Steel

    Rolled mill scale, plate rust and weld zone cleaning before coating. Uniform cleaning across large plates gives predictable coating adhesion, and because there is no abrasive contact the material is not thinned.

    03

    Pipeline & Petrochemical

    External pipe cleaning, weld cleaning, flange preparation and coating removal in remote locations where transporting blasting media and water is impractical and zero discharge is a regulatory advantage.

    FAQ

    6000W Continuous System Questions

    The system draws its power from a three-phase 380 V supply. Consumables are limited to the protective lenses, which typically last 500 to 2000 hours, the fume extraction filters, and an annual water change with filter cleaning on the chiller. There are no abrasive media, no chemicals and no process water to buy or dispose of.

    Yes. The CL-6000-HC is designed for both indoor and outdoor work, and its IP65 sealed laser source resists dust and moisture while the scanning head is weather resistant. For extended outdoor use we recommend an additional protective canopy.

    All operators must complete laser safety training covering hazard identification, personal protective equipment, work zone control and emergency procedures. We provide comprehensive training at delivery over two to three days and recommend an annual refresher.

    A standard configuration ships in 15 to 20 working days. Premium configurations such as an IPG or JPT laser source and longer cables may take 30 to 45 working days.

    The laser source is covered for two years and all other components, including mechanical, electrical, cooling and fume extraction parts, for one year. Lifetime technical support is provided by phone, email and remote diagnostics, and extended warranty options are available.

    Yes. We offer a free sample test. Send us your material and we will clean it with the CL-6000-HC, provide a video of the cleaning process and return the cleaned sample so you can evaluate the result. There is no obligation.

    Large industrial surfaces where area coverage per hour matters: ship hulls, decks and ballast tanks, storage tanks, bridges, pipelines, offshore platforms and wind turbine towers, including surface preparation for coating, welding or inspection.
