Master Wipe® Way Wipers

Without Master Wipe® Way Wipers, your machine could have dirty ways! Way wipers are similar to the wipers on your car windshield. Just as they wipe the rain and snow from your windshield for clear visibility, way wipers protect machine ways from dirt, grinding dust, metal chips, and excess oils for smooth and efficient movement. Ways serve as guides for movable parts on a machine. As the movable parts travel across the ways, they must be kept clean in order for the machine to operate properly. Excess debris can impede maximum performance of a machine’s operation and even cause damage to the ways. To ensure the longevity of the ways and avoid costly repairs, way wipers need to be replaced on a regular basis.

For over 40 years, Master Wipe® Way Wipers have been the first choice for machine way protection. Master Wipe® Way Wipers afford machinery builders longer-lasting, more economical and more efficient wipers than any of our competitors. Master Wipe Way Wipers, have the capability to withstand most corrosive fluids and sprays, Master Wipe® remains an industry standard. They are made from a special blend of polyurethane and require metal chip deflectors only for hot applications and certain hole pattern specifications. It is no surprise that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and machinery rebuilders continue to order the wiper, which can endure the wear and tear of daily production.

A vast range of unique features from multi-level to multi-faceted wiper lip configurations are displayed in the pictures below.

Plus, we pride ourselves on creating wiper systems that offer interchangeable parts, such as right-hand and left-hand components, intricate corners, molded metal inserts, and metal stiffeners which can be assembled on the wiper. Our cost-effective methods, including tooling and machining, will meet the most economical budget. Whether your needs are for 1 or 100 wipers, contact us for a personalized quotation.
