Industrial Coatings Don’t Stand a Chance
Break the Bond. Keep the Steel.
What is Induction for Coatings Removal?
​
Induction heating is a precise, non-contact process that uses an electromagnetic field to generate heat directly within a ferrous (steel or iron) substrate. The rapid, localized heating causes the bond between the substrate and the applied coating to break. This makes it possible to lift and remove thick, stubborn coatings—often in large sheets—without abrasive blasting, grinding, or chemicals.
Why It’s So Effective
-
Deep Heat, Zero Damage: Induction targets the steel beneath the coating, not the coating itself, so it breaks the bond without damaging the substrate surface profile.
-
Handles the Tough Jobs: Perfect for heavy industrial coatings in the 10–40 mil range, including epoxy, rubber, marine coatings, and fireproofing.
-
Cleaner & Safer: No airborne dust clouds, no media cleanup, and no hazardous blasting grit to manage.
-
Fast & Controlled: Rapid heating and large-area coverage allow for high removal rates while giving the operator precise control over the process.
The A-LUX CoatingsBreaker Induction Series brings this technology to your toughest coating removal challenges, combining industrial-grade induction performance with the engineering, training, and support you expect from Argento Lux.
Introducing the A-LUX CoatingsBreaker 30
The A-LUX CoatingsBreaker 30 is purpose-built for one thing: fast, efficient removal of heavy industrial coatings. Powered by advanced induction heating technology, it penetrates deeply into ferrous substrates, breaking the bond of thick coatings (10–70 mils) so they can be lifted and stripped away with ease.
Unlike abrasive blasting or chemical stripping, the CoatingsBreaker 30 offers a clean, eco-friendly solution—no media, no secondary waste streams, and no harsh chemicals. The result is a safer worksite, faster turnaround, and surfaces prepped for recoating with minimal effort.
Whether tackling aging epoxy, urethane, or multi-layer industrial coatings, the CoatingsBreaker 30 delivers consistent performance in the toughest environments. Compact, rugged, and designed for industrial field work, it gives your crew the power to take on coating challenges with speed, precision, and confidence.
Technical Advantages
​
-
Extended Reach: Equipped with an induction cable length of up to 60 meters (200 feet), the CoatingsBreaker 30 provides unmatched flexibility on large-scale projects. Competing units typically max out at 10m, creating costly workarounds in the field.
​
-
All-in-One Design: Unlike most competitors that require two separate components (an induction unit and an external chiller), the CoatingsBreaker 30 combines everything into a single integrated system. This saves space, simplifies setup, and increases reliability.
​
-
Heavy-Duty Mobility: Outfitted with lifting eye rings—just like our A-LUX laser systems—the unit can be rigged and positioned into hard-to-reach areas safely and efficiently.
​
-
Built for Industry: Compact, rugged, and field-ready, the CoatingsBreaker 30 is engineered to thrive in industrial environments where uptime and speed matter most.

​
​When to Use Induction:
-
Thick, tenacious coatings (10–70 mil) bonded to ferrous substrates
-
Rubber, epoxy, marine-grade coatings, and heavy industrial paints
-
Large flat or gently curved steel surfaces where sheet-release is possible
When to Use Laser Cleaning:
-
Thinner coatings, rust, and contamination
-
Precision applications
-
Non-ferrous metals, stone, wood, and composite materials
-
Delicate or complex geometries, small-area detail work
​
Why This Combo Wins:
-
Speed & Efficiency: Induction can strip thick coatings from steel in large sections within minutes, while laser cleaning quickly removes remaining residues or contamination for a ready-to-coat finish.
-
Eco-Friendly Operation: Both methods eliminate the need for blasting media or harsh chemicals, drastically reducing environmental impact, cleanup requirements, and waste disposal costs.
-
Surface Integrity: Induction leaves the underlying steel intact, and laser cleaning provides a precision finish without altering the surface profile—ensuring optimal adhesion for recoating.
-
Cost Savings: Faster removal and minimal cleanup mean lower labor hours, reduced PPE requirements, and less downtime for your operations.
By combining induction for the heavy lifting with laser cleaning for the fine finish, you get an unbeatable one-two punch that tackles the toughest coatings removal and surface prep jobs—safely, cleanly, and faster than conventional methods.
​
With A-LUX, you don’t just get one solution. You get the right solution for every surface.
