Ergonomic Wand, Carbon Fiber Brushes for MIG and TIG Weld Cleaning

Walter Surface Technologies, Inc. (Montreal, QC/ Windsor, CT), a global leader in surface treatment technologies, announces the launch of the new Surfox™ Wand, compatible with the Surfox 304 MIG and TIG weld cleaning system. The new wand is designed with the end-user in mind. Its updated ergonomic handle provides superior grip as well as added comfort that is perfect for use over extended periods of time. “The wand is articulated and allows for a greater range of motion. It’s much easier to use,” explains Jonathan Douville, the product manager of Surfox E-Weld and Finishing Abrasives at Walter.

The wand also features a quick-change system that allows the user to easily and quickly change accessories and clean larger and hard-to-reach areas at an optimal rate. It is compatible with the company’s new carbon fiber brushes with segmented sleeves that are used for cleaning MIG welds. “The segmented sleeves on the brushes can be trimmed away with a pair of long nose pliers, up to three times, so that you can get more life out of each brush,” adds Douville.

The triangular brush is used for cleaning larger surface areas, whereas the cylindrical sleeve brush is used for tight corners and spot welds. The new wand also remains compatible with the tungsten inserts and the high conductivity cleaning pads. In addition to the new Surfox 304 brushes, a new brush was also added to the Surfox Mini line of accessories. The mini brush is made with a plastic cylindrical sleeve and can be trimmed similarly to the 304 brushes.
