THERMAL CLEANING

What Is Thermal Cleaning?

Thermal cleaning (also known as burn-off) removes paint and light oil using a high-temp oven. Objects are placed in the oven and heated to a controlled temperature converting the coating to smoke. The smoke then runs through a 1600°F afterburner consuming pollutants, leaving only invisible, odorless and harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide to exit the exhaust stack. Thermal cleaning in many applications will save you money vs. traditional abrasive blasting. Count on us to know when to recommend this process for the most economical results.
