Heavy Machinery Grease Contamination

Operators apply grease to machinery parts, which cuts down friction effectively. In practice, heat, pressure, and vibration break it down over time, forming thick, sticky layers that trap metal bits and cling tighter than thinner oils ever do. These deposits harden into tough coatings on steel and cast iron, promote rust if ignored, and smear unevenly on aluminum to dull finishes—traditional solvents or scraping often leave gritty residues behind or scratch surfaces. Overall, laser cleaning lines up as a solid fix: it vaporizes the petroleum base fast and knocks off particles without damaging the metal underneath, wrapping up jobs with a clean finish.
