  Importance of Wipers

 

Wipers are an essential part of the manufacturing environment.

They are used in practically every aspect of a facility's production, equipment maintenance and housekeeping operations, as well as for personal cleaning.

In many applications, wipers are an indispensable "tool" in performing a particular task.

Therefore, the proper selection and use of wiping systems can have a dramatic effect on a facility's productivity, safety, regulatory compliance and cost-effectiveness.

 
  Fulfilling Customers' Needs

Most wipers used by industrial facilities leave much to be desired in terms of their overall impact on productivity, safety, regulatory compliance and cost-in-use.

- Using inadequate wipers, or wipers which are not engineered for the specific task being performed, affected job quality and worker productivity.

- Incorrect wiping procedures, especially those involving potentially hazardous chemicals, can cause serious personal injuries in the workplace.

- Most wiping operations cost more in total than they should.
This includes both excessive material cost (e.g., percentage of usable rags, cost of replacing lost rental shop towels) and inadequate performance associated with using for an application for which it has not been especially engineered.

 
The Advantages and Disadvantages of Rags
Advantages: Jack-of-all trade cloth, Easily available
 
Disadvantages: Not absorbent, synthetic fiber content, Inconsistent size and quality, Colour bleeds (smearing of dye from fabric), Least effective in performance vs total cost, Higher risk of personal injury, High hidden cost (% of unusable rags, storage and disposal cost), High in lint, Source unknown, foreign objects
 
Advantages of Disposable Wiper

- Free from contaminants
- Uniform quality, size & material
- Specifically & technically engineered for the task
- Dispensing is easy and controlled
- Packed in carton boxes, easier to store
- Advantage over rags in productivity and cost
