New company solves wiper problems
Newly formed UK company Wiper Solve Marine, which manufactures window wipers and controllers for the marine industry, has newly designed products reaching the end of first phase development and test stages.
The products are now available to the global marine industry for naval architects and specifiers for newbuild projects to choose as reliable alternatives to existing products.
The range consists of; WIPASOLV Straightline Wiper (SLW), the main features of which are its quietness, variable six speed control, economical power consumption, and safe low voltage with retained power together with other inbuilt features that enable safer and easier installation. They are available with single or twin arms and internal or external drive motors.
The WIPASOLV Pantograph Wiper benefits from a fully enclosed twin drive system with smooth simple harmonic motion for a long life and a fully sealed mechanism with lubricated bearings that renders them virtually maintenance free in service. The compact design allows for more powerful wipers, all with variable five speed control. Also available is the WIPASOLV Clearview Screen (CVS).
The CONTROLASOLV CANbus Control System is a new concept which is claimed to be unique in its application. It is a highly intelligent but quite small device that will control the wipers, washers, heaters, speed of wipe and synchronisation of wipers. It can also be programmed to control other items of equipment that would benefit by being controlled from the arm of the Captain’s chair or any other place controllers are located. Motorised anti-glare roller sunscreens are one good example of such additional equipment.
The whole range has been designed from scratch to include many features lacking in existing similar types of equipment. Wiper Solve Marine is a joint venture 48% owned by the chairman and managing director of Solar Solve Marine.
