WINDSCREEN WIPERS by
Gallinea yacht windshield wipers are developed based on
the customer’s need and fully customizable, this
feature is Gallinea’s real strength.
2-pin motors both motorized, this ensures less wear and tear on the system and better synchronism of operation, resulting in lower power consumption and better distribution of drive torque
The attachment of the brush in pantograph arm systems, by the use of an adjustable flange this allows easy and precise alignment of the brush to the mast (in the rest position) regardless of the position in which the motor pins are.
The system of sprayers mounted directly on the brush holder stand allows water to drain directly onto the brush, avoiding water waste and improving the degree of cleanliness.
The wiper arms are available in several versions, ranging from the EGO series which is the flagship family in the catalog, to the other series each meeting the needs of shipyards or shipowners worldwide. All families are available in single arm or pantograph versions.
In systems using pantograph arms, both motor pivots are active.
Thus ensuring:
Better torque distribution,
Less wear and tear on the system,
Safer synchronisation of the operation of the two arm shafts.
The wiper blade is attached to the arm by an adjustable flange that allows easy and perfect alignment with the glass mounting.
The nozzles are incorporated on the wiper arm head.
Engineering
The Gallinea windscreen wipers are custom-designed for each vessel.
In collaboration with the Milan Polytechnic, Gallinea has developed a DQN protocol for system design.
All it takes is a few simple items of information to propose a custom design for any boat.
The design is carried out in 2D or 3D depending on the type of implant and information received. A ‘boat sheet’ is created for each implant, summarising all implant components and assembly instructions.
All Gallinea products, from the arm to the motor to the electronic control unit, are manufactured exclusively in Italy.
MOTORS

Panthograf arm
According to prefered use, all are available with single or double drive:
Motors are mounted on a treated steel support.
Pivot is manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel and available in different lenghts.
WIPER ARMS
Wiper arms are available in different versions:
Single
Straight
Bent (right or left)
Pantograph
Starting from EGO series made in carbon fibre. Series that represents the excellence of our products.
The other series are developed to meet the individual needs of the shipyard or shipowner.
Components are manufactured completely in AISI 316 stainless steel and they are subject to different treatements for efficiency over the years in harsh marine environments.
BLADES
Gallinea wiper blades are available in two models:
Traditional
Flat Blade
The two models are available in a wide range of sizes to meet all requirements.
CONTROL UNITS
Gallinea has designed a control unit with advanced electronic features:
Guaranteed perfect synchronism of the motors
Automatic execution of the washing function,
which involves spraying water for four seconds before the start of four cleaning strokes of the glass
Managed power of the motors by means of PWM,
which allows acceleration curves to be managed during the operating phases of the motors; this translates into
smoother operation of the arm movement
Less inertia
Greater precision of the cleaned area
it has an internal diagnostic part to ensure correct system service
with a CAN output to interface with all on-board systems.
ACCESSORIES
There are different accessories to complete wiping system:
Plug and play cables to connect control unit to motors
Chromed brass through-hull fittings of various sizes
Heated through hull
Control panel,
Water tank with integrated pump,
Flow deviator kit
(with integrated solenoid valve).
