Robco Wiper Blocks For Hot Galvanizing Wire Lines
Longer Life / Better Surface Finish
Robco’s High Temperature Division supplies high performance wiper blocks (wire pads, wire wipes, wiping pads) for the galvanizing wire industry to maximize operation efficiency. We develop superior, longer lasting wiper blocks to support and improve productivity by reducing scrap rate and downtime.
Achieving longer wiper block life and superior wire surface finish is our ultimate goal. Let us help you do just that!
Robco 4260
The workhorse
High abrasion resistance, yet soft on wire surface, #4260 is our standard block for general purpose wiping. The wiping area is made of 100% high quality para-aramid filaments treated with high temperature resistant lubricants. Available in Regular or High-Density (HD) hardness. Cross-Section: 1/2” to 1-1/4” Length: 1” to 72”
Robco 4270
Economical
A lower cost alternative, Robco 4270 is similar in construction to Robco 4260, however the wiping area is made of 50% high quality para-aramid filaments treated with high temperature resistant lubricants. Cross-Section: 1/2” to 1-1/4” Length: 1” to 72”
Robco 4290/4292/4295
The soft ones
Using high quality para-aramid spun yarn, instead of standard filaments, our #4290 series wiper blocks deform easier and accommodate larger wires. They can also be coated with a graphite-based compound to help dissipate surface heat. Cross-Section: 1/2” to 1-1/4” Length: 1” to 72”
Robco rolled para-aramid blocks
The classic
Made of para-aramid fabric saturated with rubber and surface treated with a high temperature lubricant, our rolled blocks are the product of choice with applications that require larger blocks. Cross-Section: 1/2” to 2” Length: Any
Robco thin wiping pads
Lowering cost of material used Thinner is better! These thin pads made from lubricated high-quality para-aramid fabric, are used in conjunction
with regular blocks, simply to lower the initial acquisition cost. Width: 3/4” to 2” Length: 1” to 72” Thickness: 1/4” to 1/2”
Robco pre-formed para-aramid blocks
Improved homogeneous wiping
These blocks are vulcanized into a pre-moulded form, to wipe more evenly on bigger wires and avoid high pressure points on the wire. Made from para-aramid fabric saturated
with rubber and treated on the surface with a high temperature lubricant. Cross-Section: 1” to 2” Length: 1” to 18”
