The Series 5010 Wash System has been designed from the ground up to compliment Wynn's existing range of marine window wiper systems. As a compact off-the-shelf module, the 5010 makes the design, purchasing and installation of complete window washing systems more efficient and cost effective, be they for retrofit projects or newbuilds.

Benefits of the Series 5010 include total window spray coverage through high pressure nozzles, rapid dispersal of salt deposits through heated water, efficient removal of grease and oil, operational in Arctic conditions, flexible network controls and remote operation.

The ability to see the ship's environment through a clear window is a major factor in passengers' travel enjoyment and the Series 5010 enables it without the need for manual intervention. Its washing performance offers ship operators the ability to externally clean windows in passenger vessels not designated as essential to navigation. Windows in passenger lounges, restaurants and atriums can now be kept clean automatically.

Wynn Marine's Series 3000 wiper controller is the company's first flexible system, offering a choice of interfaces and based on a modular set-up that can control up to 50 separate wipers or other equipment (such as the Series 5010 Wash System). It is available with a simple to operate touch pad controller or the recently improved premium touch screen version. The programmable Touch Screen Controller is now available in 7in, 9in and 12in versions.

One of the most recent installations of the Series 3000 was on the Viking Energy and the Stril Pioneer, which have been the focus of considerable attention as the world's first gas powered cargo vessels.

Both ships also utilised Wynn Marine's heavy duty Type D wiper system, which will also be on show at Europort.

The Type D features an externally mounted motor and an advanced design of linear action window wiping for marine applications.
