Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser cleaning food-safe for brewing and processing equipment? +

Yes, laser cleaning is completely food-safe. The process uses only light energy to ablate surface contaminants - no chemicals, water, or foreign materials contact the equipment. The cleaned surface is left in a pure, residue-free state ready for production use or passivation treatment.

Can laser cleaning remove beerstone that CIP can't? +

Yes, laser cleaning excels at removing stubborn beerstone (calcium oxalate) deposits that resist normal CIP cycles. Rather than relying on chemical dissolution, the laser ablates the mineral layer directly. This is particularly effective for heavy buildup on tank walls, weld seams, and hard-to-reach areas.

Will laser cleaning damage stainless steel passivation? +

When properly applied, laser cleaning removes surface contamination while preserving the base stainless steel. In fact, by removing contaminants like iron deposits and organic buildup, laser cleaning can actually improve the effectiveness of subsequent passivation treatments and help restore the protective chromium oxide layer.

How does laser cleaning help with sustainability goals? +

Laser cleaning uses no water, generates no chemical waste, and requires no disposal of cleaning solutions or rinse water. For breweries focused on water conservation and environmental responsibility, it offers a truly sustainable alternative to traditional chemical cleaning methods while maintaining the highest sanitation standards.
