THE RAIL INDUSTRY

As in the Marine Industry, train Wipers have to combat a cocktail of corrosive elements created by gasses, acids and salts.The extensive
use of AISI 316 Stainless Steel throughout our Wipers ensure that we are successful in combating these corrosive elements. Aerodynamic
forces become more apparent in this Industry, especially with high speed trains and the effects of Wipers lifting. In an effort to overcome
these effects we designed our Arms using 316 Stainless Steel Box section to reduce the surface area and thereby reducing the force
required to lift the Arm off the screen. To counteract slippage of the Arm on the spindle we incorporate a double clamp, with the use of two
M8 or M10 A4 316 Socket Screws which gives the required tension. Another problem inherent with high speed, is structural twisting.
Aerodynamic forces identify any weakness in structure, Durowiper Arms have a doubled brace at the point it connects to the blade, which
significantly reduced twisting effects.
