COEX™ MEWS Safe-Area Wash System MEWS5


Synectics Safe-Area Wash System

  • Electro-polished 316L stainless steel
  • 10 liter removable stainless steel reservoir can provide up to 500 wash cycles between refills
  • Enclosed system ensures high performance in all climates
  • Suitable for antifreeze and detergent additives

Manufactured from electro-polished 316L stainless steel for optimum corrosion resistance, the COEX™ MEWS5 wash system is designed for optimal performance and long service life in the harshest of environmental conditions.

Designed for operation in marine and safe-area environments, the MEWS5 is the perfect choice to maintain optimum image clarity and performance for C2000 safe-area camera stations.

Comprised of a 10 liter pressurised reservoir and electronically operated solenoid value, the unit can be installed up to 20 meters below the camera head, allowing servicing and remote operation of the reservoir at ground / deck level.

When installed alongside C2000 safe-area camera stations, the water jet is ejected from a spray nozzle mounted on the window wiper arm to ensure uniform window cleaning.

Various solenoid valve options are available to match the desired power requirements, extending the flexibility for the wash unit to be used with third-party camera stations.
