Master X80C Pulsed Laser Cleaning Machine Field Test for Shipyard Steel: One-Step Rust, Scale & Paint Removal

STRION LASER, a professional industrial laser equipment manufacturer, has completed full on-site field testing of its Master X80C pulsed laser cleaning machine at multiple domestic and overseas shipyards, delivering a one-stop solution to resolve the long-standing pain point of stacked rust, old paint and oxide layers on ship steel plates.

Traditional shipyard surface treatment relies heavily on sandblasting, chemical paint stripping and mechanical grinding, which bring multiple drawbacks: heavy dust pollution, massive hazardous waste, high consumable costs, and inevitable micro-damage to steel substrates. Thick marine rust and multi-layer anti-corrosion coatings require repeated construction, prolonging dock turnaround cycles and increasing compliance risks under global maritime environmental regulations.

The newly tested Master X80C pulsed laser cleaning system perfectly addresses these industry bottlenecks, matching STRION LASER’s continuous wave laser cleaning equipment in industrial stability while adding low-temperature pulsed processing technology exclusive for marine high-precision operations.

Master X80C Pulsed Laser Core Advantages Verified in Shipyard Live Test

One-step cleaning for rust, oxide scale & aged hull paint
Focused nanosecond pulsed laser energy vaporizes marine rust, salt corrosion deposits, multi-layer anti-fouling paint and surface oxidation in a single pass. Tested on cargo ship hull steel, truck bed steel, high-strength marine frames and brass filter weld seams, no secondary polishing required after cleaning.
Low-temperature pulse technology, zero substrate damage
Different from continuous wave lasers with high thermal output, Master X80C adopts ultra-short pulse light source. Heat energy is only absorbed by surface contaminants, leaving steel base metal intact without deformation, micro-cracks or material thinning — critical for ship hull renovation and post-weld surface finishing.
Low dust output & minimal consumables, eco-friendly shipyard compliance
Equipped with STRION self-developed high-pressure air knife dust removal module, the system captures stripped paint and rust particles on-site. No abrasives, chemical solvents or disposable blasting media needed; only protective windows are replaceable spare parts, cutting long-term operation costs drastically.
Industrial portable design for complex marine working conditions

Lightweight cleaning torch weighs only 0.7kg, armored cable optional 5m/10m for deep cabin, curved hull and narrow weld zone operations
Adjustable scan width: 0–300mm, vertical focus range 0–150mm to adapt uneven ship plate surfaces
IP53 industrial protection grade, dual safety laser emission lock to prevent accidental light leakage
Self-developed intelligent temperature control module extends protective lens service life by 50%, reducing downtime for lens replacement

Wide Marine Application Cases from STRION Laser Catalog

Combining STRION LASER’s full product brochure and real shipyard application archives, Master X80C and MASTER X50C continuous wave laser cleaners cover full marine maintenance scenarios:

Ship hull full rust & old paint stripping for dry dock renovation
Sheet metal, high-strength steel frame derusting before ship assembly
Motor casing marine corrosion removal
Brass filter, hull structural weld post-cleaning
Pre-weld oxide elimination to upgrade welding seam quality

Shipyard operators report that compared with traditional sandblasting, STRION laser cleaning cuts surface processing time by over 60%, eliminates waste disposal fees, and meets international marine environmental protection standards without ocean toxic residue runoff.

Stable Industrial Quality & Global Service Support

All STRION laser cleaning machines pass strict industrial-grade testing. The company provides complete after-sales training, on-site debugging and spare parts supply for shipbuilding and marine repair clients worldwide.

Quote from STRION LASER Technical Director:

“Maritime maintenance demands both efficiency and environmental compliance. Our dual line of continuous wave and pulsed laser cleaners separates heavy large-area cleaning and precision low-temperature processing. Master X80C pulsed model fills the market gap for substrate-sensitive ship renovation, helping global shipyards lower dock costs and upgrade green production lines.”
