Forward-thinking Cleaning From Isr Laser

Issue 98

Is your business looking for a professional laser cleaning company, which is chemical-free, contactless, and precise? Introducing Terry South from ISR Laser, whose company is using sustainable technology to tackle the jobs we all hate doing, and in record time.

What can lasers clean? Any hard surface such as stainless steel, mild steel, alloys, brass, hardwoods, plastics, and natural stone. Contamination could be rusting, oxidisation, graffiti, aged surface, paint, or weld. Laser also works for sit investigation in the recovery of material data such as part numbers to cleaning of threads to allow easy disassembly.

Embarking on the journey to revolutionise cleaning, having accumulated extensive experience in industrial quality departments, worldwide, owner Terry South witnessed the drawbacks of poor-quality cleaning—resulting in slowdowns, stoppages, safety hazards and an environmental disaster accepted as “The Norm” within industry as laser technology is not widely used in UK or taught.

Terry witnessed the change in Europe towards laser cleaning during the covid period which allow greater control of delivery as Europeans used lockdown wisely to align with sustainability in reducing their carbon footprint moving away from Shot blasting and chemical cleaning in addition to reducing their power usage.

Recognising the need for a superior sustainable solution, he understood that achieving operational excellence required a long-term solution avoiding compromises. Traditional methods involving subcontractors, chemicals, solvents, and time constraints were not conducive to the level of cleanliness essential for safety standards and the growing need for supply chain, stage three, decarbonisation.

The conventional options of chemicals, pressure washing, and sandblasting were deemed inefficient and not sustainable with an industrial change required to allow long term operation in manufacture of some products. In addition, present methods often sacrificed tolerances and substrate necessary for remanufacture and future use, so with introduction of laser cleaning comes the chance to reduce costs as no parent materials are removed, or heat transferred in the cleaning, so tolerances retained.

Suppliers prioritised delivery deadlines and payments over the total quality and lifespan of equipment. Upon returning to the UK, Terry South was determined to assist businesses in maintaining environmental goals without compromising the crucial aspect of achieving a high standard of cleanliness and extended life cycle potential in possible remanufacture.

Connecting with his network of industrial clients, scientific colleagues, and professional contacts, he knew from working in Europe that Pulse Laser Cleaning was the solution. Utilising a highly portable laser and fume extractor, the ISR Laser team ensures your substrate is recovered as far as practical to original standard, with

Zero damage – Zero contact.

Zero contaminants left behind – Minimized downtime.

Maximised performance retention – Cost minimisation.

Get the laser on site – and increase your sustainability in commercial, industrial, and domestic cleaning to review your present method against what the future holds.

As early adopters of their highly portable and effective laser cleaning devices, ISR have access to the latest training, products, and applications and will next year show in both Newcastle and Manchester Expo 2024.

Laser cleaning ensures:

Zero residue creates zero waste, only removing the contamination.

No noise – No need for messy cleanup.

No downtime required as you can potentially clean an operating machine while in use.

Free from corrosive chemicals or damaging friction resulting in a pristine substrate, allowing you to resume work seamlessly with minimal disruption.

Conveniently located in the Northeast of England, but servicing the whole of the UK, the company work with businesses from the Angel of the North to Canary Wharf and can assist in cleaning without harming your substrate, lungs, or the environment and at the same time increasing your sustainability.

Terry explains: “At ISR, our vision is simple; to provide an energy-efficient, sustainable and environmentally friendly service for cleaning oxidation and contamination without resorting to CO2, blasting, or chemicals. Our laser-based approach minimises energy usage through the ablation rate of materials, representing a positive environmental leap forward in cleaning for the future.

Stay on the sustainable-edge of cleanliness with ISR Laser.
