On March 30, 2026, Chongqing Chuke Intelligent Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Chuke Intelligent") welcomed a group of special guests—a delegation of power plant customers. The purpose of their visit was to gain a deeper understanding of Chuke Intelligent's continuous laser and pulsed laser rust removal technologies and to seek innovative solutions for equipment maintenance in power plants under environmental pressure.
During the exchange, the power plant customers elaborated on the challenges they currently face. The exterior surfaces of power plant buildings, boilers, and
Other equipment are exposed to complex environments for extended periods, making them highly susceptible to rust. Previously, power plants relied on manual, periodic rust removal, a method that required significant manpower and the use of large amounts of water and various cleaning agents.
With increasingly stringent environmental requirements, the coal-fired power industry faces immense pressure regarding carbon emissions and wastewater treatment during operation. Traditional rust removal methods generate large amounts of wastewater containing chemical cleaning agents, which is difficult and costly to treat and poses a potential threat to the environment. Meanwhile, the continuous consumption of cleaning agents and water keeps operating costs high, making a more environmentally friendly and efficient rust removal method urgently needed by power plants to alleviate the current predicament.
As a leading company in the laser equipment field, Chuke Intelligent has always been committed to providing customers with advanced laser solutions. Addressing the needs of power plant customers, Chuke Intelligent highlighted its continuous laser and pulsed laser rust removal technologies.
Continuous laser rust removal technology, with its high energy density and stable output characteristics, can quickly and effectively remove rust layers from metal surfaces. During the rust removal process, the laser beam precisely targets the rust layer, instantly vaporizing or melting it while causing minimal damage to the base material. Compared to traditional mechanical and chemical rust removal, continuous laser rust removal requires no cleaning agents, only a small amount of auxiliary gas, significantly reducing wastewater and chemical emissions, thus meeting environmental protection requirements.
Pulsed laser rust removal technology offers greater flexibility and precision. Through pulsed laser output, it can be adjusted according to different rust layer thicknesses and material characteristics, achieving precise rust removal for complex-shaped equipment. Pulsed laser rust removal also avoids direct contact with the equipment surface, preventing scratches and wear that can occur with traditional rust removal methods and extending the equipment's lifespan.
Besides its environmental advantages, power plant customers are also highly concerned about the cost recovery of laser rust removal equipment. Chuke Intelligent's technical team conducted a detailed economic benefit analysis for their clients.
In the short term, although the initial investment in laser rust removal equipment is relatively high, its advantages are significant from a long-term operational perspective. Because laser rust removal does not require large amounts of cleaning agents and water, it greatly reduces raw material procurement costs. At the same time, the high degree of automation in the laser rust removal process reduces manual operation and lowers labor costs. Furthermore, laser rust removal causes minimal damage to the equipment, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, further saving costs.
Chuke Intelligent's technical experts stated that, depending on the equipment scale and rust removal needs, power plant customers can typically recover their investment in laser rust removal equipment within 2-3 years through savings in raw materials and labor costs. Moreover, as environmental requirements continue to tighten, traditional rust removal methods will face more restrictions and increased costs, making the long-term economic benefits of laser rust removal even more significant.
To allow power plant customers to gain a more intuitive understanding of the effectiveness of laser rust removal technology, Chuke Intelligent arranged for them to visit the company's laser rust removal laboratory and production workshop. In the laboratory, technicians demonstrated the continuous laser and pulsed laser rust removal processes. The laser beam moved rapidly across the rusted metal plate, instantly removing the rust layer and revealing a clean metal surface. The entire process was highly efficient, environmentally friendly, and pollution-free, leaving the customers amazed.
In the production workshop, customers also learned about the production process and quality control system for the laser rust removal equipment. Chuke Intelligent's strict production standards and advanced manufacturing processes ensure that every laser rust removal device is of high quality and stability, providing reliable assurance for customer use.
Through this visit and exchange, the power plant customers gained a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Chuke Intelligent's laser rust removal technology and highly praised its advantages in environmental protection and economic benefits. Both parties expressed their intention to further strengthen communication and cooperation to expedite the pilot application of laser rust removal equipment in power plants.
Xiao Renmin, Chairman of Chuke Intelligent, stated, “We are honored to provide laser rust removal solutions to our power plant customers, helping them achieve green transformation under environmental pressure. In the future, Chuke Intelligent will continue to increase its R&D investment, continuously improving the performance and reliability of laser rust removal technology, and providing high-quality laser solutions to customers in more industries.”
With increasing environmental awareness and technological advancements, laser rust removal technology, as a green and efficient rust removal method, will be increasingly widely used in the industrial field. This visit by power plant customers to Chuke Intelligent not only laid a solid foundation for cooperation between the two parties but also provided new ideas and directions for the green development of the coal-fired power industry. It is believed that with the joint efforts of both parties, laser rust removal technology will play an important role in power plant equipment maintenance, helping power plants achieve a win-win situation of environmental protection and economic benefits.
