Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need to purchase brushes from WiTechs, or can we source them locally?

Purchasing descaling brushes from WiTechs ensures the highest cleaning quality. However, the brushes can also be sourced locally. Because brush wear is minimal, investing in more expensive, higher-quality brushes can definitely be worthwhile.

How does the machine know the position and when to adjust?

The machine detects brush pressure through the current draw of the drive motor. In this way, the machine ensures a continuous descaling process with minimal brush wear. Brush life exceeds 2,000 metric tons.

How is the machine’s ROI determined?

The ROI depends on many factors, especially the savings from reduced downtime and the lifespan of the drawing dies. In addition, the total cost of ownership (TCO) of current descaling methods can be compared, making the investment decision very straightforward.
