Our Services
Machinery & Equipment Cleaning
Our laser cleaning process effectively eliminates accumulated grease, oil, and industrial residues from critical machinery such as conveyor belts, sorting systems, and robotic equipment. This service prevents mechanical failures, reduces maintenance costs, and extends equipment lifespan. By targeting contaminants at a molecular level, we achieve thorough results without causing surface damage or requiring disassembly, allowing operations to resume promptly.
Facility Infrastructure Maintenance
We offer specialized cleaning for structural elements including shelving units, racking systems, floors, walls, and ceilings. Laser technology removes dust, mold, and buildup in hard-to-reach areas, promoting a cleaner and safer workspace. This is particularly beneficial for fulfillment centers handling perishable goods or sensitive inventory, as it complies with food safety and OSHA standards while minimizing environmental impact.
Rust & Corrosion Removal
For metal components exposed to humidity or environmental factors common in large warehouses or industrial settings, our services include rust and corrosion eradication. This protects structural integrity to beams, supports, and storage fixtures without altering the underlying material. As a non-contact technology, laser cleaning proves invaluable to remove corrosion from complex items and delicate machinery.
Paint, Coatings & Preparation
When repainting or refurbishing is required, we provide efficient removal of old paints, coatings, and labels from surfaces such as loading docks, signage, and equipment exteriors. Our laser method ensures a clean substrate for new applications and reduces preparation time - eliminating the need for chemical strippers, blasting, mechanical methods, or pressure-washing.
Precision Cleaning for Sensitive Components
Tailored for critical equipment, like controls, sensors, and automated systems prevalent in modern distribution centers, this service delicately removes contaminants without risking damage to delicate parts. It supports the maintenance of high-tech fulfillment operations, ensuring optimal performance and reliability in inventory management and order processing systems. Laser cleaning is the ideal cleaning solution for when tolerances of critical equipment and machinery make the difference.
We provide a comprehensive suite of laser cleaning services designed specifically for distribution and fulfillment centers. Each service is executed by certified operators using state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring safety, precision, and adherence to industry standards.

How Flux-Worx Supports Distribution Facilities
Reduced Maintenance Costs: Laser cleaning proves more efficient than traditional methods - removing additional labor, removing consumables, chemicals, extra equipment, and costs of containment. Replacing traditional methods with laser cleaning, disposal costs can be reduced up to ~75% and can be 2-3x faster than chemical clean-in-place (CIP). By adopting our laser services in maintenance procedures, overall maintenance costs will drop.
Removing Inefficiencies & Downtime: Compared to traditional methods, laser technology offers faster direct cleaning speed. Traditional methods - solvent wiping, chemical stripping, or grinding - are now obsolete. Our laser systems replace the need for mechanical, chemical, or water cleaning - eliminating secondary waste and additional labor normally required. With minimal setup, no full containments, and no additional cleanup - all laser cleaned surfaces are inspection-ready immediately following operation.
Non-Disturbing Procedures: Removes oil, grease, oxides, adhesives, residues, and other surface contaminants without chemicals, solvents, or water. Laser ablation thoroughly decontaminates surfaces and equipment prior to getting it back online - replacing the need for pressure washing, steam cleaning, or sandblasting. Laser removed material is immediately captured by in-line extraction - dust-free and eliminates cross-contamination risks. Also provides a great reduction in noise signature compared to other cleaning methods - nearby work and operations will not be disturbed.
Environmental & Safety Improvements: Caustic treatments, chemicals, and related VOCs are now obsolete. Utilizing laser cleaning over traditional methods allows for a dust-free and noise-reduced cleaning method that is far less disturbing to production areas and nearby workers. Laser operations will help greatly reduce waste volume generated overall.
Operational Reliability: High-volume distribution thrives on efficiency. Our laser technology ensures processing and sorting equipment thrives - targeting residues, corrosion, and excess buildup with micro-level precision - while avoiding the wear of abrasives, mechanical scratching, or solvent runoff. Laser systems are adept and tunable - ensuring our service provides safe operations on high speed conveyors, autonomous systems, or robotics - all while supporting modern sustainability and zero-chemical goals.
Non-Destructive & Tolerance Minded: Laser technology is non-contact, simplified to mean no substrate interaction - an ideal method for rotating equipment, sensitive components, and complex geometries. The non-destructive features optimize cleaning procedures while simultaneously eliminating risks of throwing off critical tolerances. Effectively decontaminates material handling equipment, removes rust on storage racks or excess grease on conveyors, - scalable from spot-cleaning to full-line maintenance. Laser technology enhances corrosion resistance through nanostructure surfaces and will not abrade the base material. Efficient cleaning of critical alloys, operations are highly adaptable and controlled simply - reducing any risks of thermal distortion or material fatigue.
