Weiler Abrasives Group, a leading provider of abrasives, power brushes, and maintenance products for surface conditioning has announced the upgrade of its Roughneck and Wolverine 4-inch Stringer Bead wheels. The Stringer Bead wheels have been re-engineered to deliver maximum cleaning efficiency and longer life.
The new Roughneck Max are made of proprietary wire that is stronger, sharper and more resistant to breakage, even during aggressive brushing — and they deliver 40% more cleaning power than the closest competitor. The improved knot design provides up to twice the brush life, helping to lower the overall cost of use. Roughneck Max requires 20 percent less pressure to clean with compared to competitive brushes to help reduce operator fatigue, and allow for smooth and responsive operation.
“Wire loss can be a real problem with power brushes. When a user has to apply excess pressure to get the job done, it leads to long wire breakage and a shorter product life,” explains Rick Hopkins, Weiler’s Senior Product Manager. “We’re excited to introduce the Roughneck Max to address that problem — it gives users the ability to clean twice as fast with minimal pressure (1 1/2 to 2 pounds less). Our customers now have best-in-class cleaning power without having to sacrifice durability or product longevity,” he added.
Previously known as Vortec Pro®, the Wolverine line of Stringer Bead wheels, offer professional grade quality and performance at a cost effective price. Re-engineered with 32 knots, the improved brush design delivers a 20% longer life, while maintaining aggressive cleaning power for weld cleaning applications.
The upgraded Roughneck Max and Wolverine Stringer Bead wheels are both available in Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel options.
