What cleaning changes.
Contamination conceals the condition of a joint. Mechanical thread cleaning exposes the surface again and prepares it for subsequent inspection.
Whether a single foundation bolt or an entire batch from a plant shutdown, the tool and workflow are selected together.

Frequently asked.
Which thread cleaner suits my application?
Start with the internal or external thread and its nominal diameter. Then consider accessible length, radial clearance, quantity and drive. The model finder narrows down the documented sizes; WSD checks the complete combination.
Is cleaning sufficient for reuse?
No. After cleaning, threads and fasteners must be checked for damage, wear and corrosion. Whether reuse is permitted depends on the requirements for the particular connection.
Can I enquire about renting thread cleaners?
Yes. Tell WSD the task, quantity and period of use. We will check which cleaning solution can be supplied for your application, either for purchase or rental. Availability and scope of supply are confirmed in the quotation.
Is thread cleaning the same as thread recutting?
No. Brush systems remove residue. They do not restore a damaged thread profile. A thread-cutting tool, by contrast, machines the material; different selection and operating rules apply.
Are imperial sizes and special brush materials available?
Imperial versions and alternative brush materials are available on request. Please specify the thread designation, material and coating so that the appropriate system can be checked.
What thread do you need to clean?
Tell us the thread size, clearance and quantity – we will agree the tool, drive and accessories with you.
Which cleaning method fits your workflow?
Alongside thread size, access, material, residues and the number of workpieces matter. Our cleaning planner helps you prepare a specific enquiry for selecting tools and workstations.
