Non-abrasive laser cleaning for mobile plant, fixed plant and processing.

Laser Cleaning
Built for rugged conditions

Industrial laser cleaning for mines, processing plants and ports

Laser Cleaning Adelaide helps miners keep assets online longer by removing rust, coatings, carbon and ingrained contamination without blasting media or chemicals. Our portable systems are ideal for pit, plant and shutdown work—delivering faster turnarounds, cleaner worksites and better surface readiness for welding, inspection and coating.

Zero media, zero water

Eliminate grit logistics, water use and slurry clean-up.

Protects equipment

Removes contamination only—no scouring of machined surfaces.

Shutdown ready

Rapid mobilisation, minimal masking and less rework.

Safer worksites

Reduced airborne dust; simple containment and waste stream.

Where it delivers value

Mining-specific applications

Mobile Plant & HME

Excavators, haul trucks, dozers and loaders—rust, paint and carbon removal on chassis, trays, handrails and structural members.

  • Weld prep & crack repair areas
  • Localized coating strip & touch-off
Fixed Plant & Structural Steel

Screens, chutes, crushers, mills and structural frames—remove scale, oxides and old coatings while protecting base metal.

  • Surface prep for NDT/coating
  • Confined-space compatible
Conveyors & Transfer Points

Non-abrasive cleaning on stringers, guards, head/tail areas and pulleys; precise, localised coating removal for repair work.

  • Rust remediation on frames
  • Adhesive/bonding surface activation
Processing & Smelting

Oxide and carbon removal on process vessels, pipework and heat-affected areas—ideal before inspection or re-coating.

  • Lead/hazardous coating remediation
  • Flange & gasket seating prep
Ports, Rail & Load-out

Structural steel, bins, hoppers and wagons—fast coating removal and corrosion treatment with minimal masking and clean-up.

  • Touch-off & refurbishment
  • NDT readiness without media
Shutdowns & Campaigns

Rapid deployment for defined work packs or maintenance campaigns—cleaner, faster and safer than conventional blasting.

  • Method statements & SWMS/JSA
  • Before/after evidence & close-out
Why Laser Cleaning Adelaide

Operational advantages for Mining assets

Non-abrasive & precise

Targets the contaminant only—protects machined and critical surfaces.

Less downtime

Minimal masking and clean-up; excellent for outage windows.

Cleaner & safer

No blasting media and no solvents—simpler environmental compliance.

Confined-space ready

Portable systems with extraction for restricted areas and plant rooms.

Proven in the pit and plant

Recent mining maintenance outcomes

Haul truck tray – corrosion removal

Localised rust remediation and coating strip enabled rapid repair welding and faster return to service.

Crusher frame – NDT preparation

Removed oxides and contaminants without grit embedment, improving inspection accuracy and safety.

Conveyor structure – coating touch-off

Precise coating removal around fasteners and flanges reduced masking and rework during shutdown.

Quick tip
Laser cleaning is dry and media-free—ideal around bearings, hydraulics and electrics where grit or water are unacceptable.
Yes. We use local extraction and containment to manage dust and fumes. Our portable lasers are suited to tanks, sumps, plant rooms and restricted access.
Laser cleaning is typically classed as non-contact cleaning; we follow site permitting requirements and provide SWMS/JSA. Where hot-work controls apply, we comply with site standards.
No. Because there’s no grit embedment, surfaces are exceptionally clean for bonding, painting and inspection—ideal before UT, MT or PT.
Pricing depends on area, geometry, contamination and access. We offer fixed quotes for defined work packs or competitive day rates for campaign maintenance.
