High-Power Industrial Laser Cleaner — 1000–3000W Continuous-Wave
When the rust is thick and the surface is large, throughput wins. Our 1000–3000W continuous-wave systems strip heavy rust, mill scale and thick coatings from structural steel, hulls and plant equipment — water-cooled and built to run shift after shift.
Engineered to replace sandblasting on the heaviest jobs
A continuous-wave laser delivers a steady, high-average-power beam — the kind of sustained energy heavy rust and thick coatings need to come off at production speed.
Production throughput
High average power clears large surfaces fast, so surface prep stops being the line bottleneck.
Heavy rust & scale
Built for thick rust, mill scale and layered coatings that lighter machines work through slowly.
Water-cooled stability
A water loop carries away heat so the system holds power output through long runs.
Continuous duty
Designed for shift-after-shift operation in manufacturing, yards and structural work.
When to choose high-power CW over pulsed
Choose CW when volume and heavy contamination drive the decision. If your work is thin, detailed or heat-sensitive, a pulsed machine is the better fit.
| Factor | High-power CW (LCW / HW) | Pulsed (LY series) |
|---|---|---|
| Energy delivery | Steady beam — high average power | Short, repeating pulses — fine control |
| Throughput | High, for heavy removal at volume | Moderate, detail-focused |
| Best contamination | Heavy rust, mill scale, thick coatings | Oxide, thin rust, light coatings |
| Best substrate | Thick steel & large robust surfaces | Thin, precise, heat-sensitive parts |
| Cooling | Water-cooled for sustained power | Air-cooled, compact |
The LCW1500-3000W heavy-duty workhorse
A 1500–3000W water-cooled continuous-wave system built for sustained heavy rust removal on large surfaces. The water loop keeps output stable through long production runs, so throughput holds up across the shift.

The HW1000-3000W for structural-scale work

Two high-power series, compared
Both are water-cooled continuous-wave systems for heavy industrial cleaning. Choose by power floor and the scale of your typical job.

|---|---|---|
| Power range | 1500–3000W | 1000–3000W |
| Laser type | Continuous-wave | Continuous-wave |

| Best suited for | High-volume surface prep, plant lines | Steel structures, bridges, shipyards |
Heavy contamination, large surfaces
High-power CW earns its place where the load is heaviest. Removal speed depends on power, scanning width, rust thickness and surface condition, so we confirm it on a representative sample of your work.
Heavy rust & mill scale
Strip thick, layered rust and scale from structural steel.
Hulls & marine steel
Tackle salt-driven corrosion on hulls and offshore steel.
Thick coatings
Remove layered paint and protective coatings before recoating.
Large surfaces
Cover plates, frames and bridge steelwork at volume.
Water-cooled for 24/7 operation
Heavy industrial schedules do not pause, and neither should the cleaner. The water-cooled design carries heat away from the laser source so output stays stable across continuous shifts — not just the first hour.
Stable thermal output
Water cooling holds power through long runs without thermal throttling.
Continuous duty cycle
Engineered for shift-after-shift production, not occasional use.
Lower running cost
No grit, media or chemicals to buy, contain or dispose of per job.
Serviceable design
Spare parts and technical support to keep the line moving.
Built for heavy-industry corrosion
High-power CW series specs
Cleaning speed is confirmed on your own sample, since it depends on rust thickness, coating type, power, scanning width and surface condition. The platform parameters below are fixed by series.
| Model | Power | Laser type | Cooling | Duty | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LCW1500-3000W | 1500–3000W | Continuous-wave | Water-cooled | Continuous | Heavy rust & large surfaces |
| HW1000-3000W | 1000–3000W | Continuous-wave | Water-cooled | Continuous | Steel structures & shipyards |

What determines your cleaning speed
High-power CW is chosen for throughput, but the real rate still depends on the load. We run your steel and report a measured figure rather than a headline number.
- Rust / coating thickness — thick scale and layered coatings need more energy per area
- Surface size — large open areas favour high average power and wide scan
- Laser power — 1000–3000W sets the ceiling for heavy removal speed
- Scanning width — wider scan trades resolution for coverage on big surfaces
- Passes & duty — heavy build-up and continuous shifts shape sustained output
- Surface & access — structure shape, height and access affect real throughput
- Operator setup — consistent settings keep large-area work even
- Material and structure type
- Rust / coating thickness
- Surface area and weekly volume
- Coating standard for recoating
- Indoor, dockyard or at height
- A representative heavy sample
Send these with a sample and we report a measured rate for your material — no fixed catalogue figure.
