Keep your sliding door systems operating at peak performance with the HAWA Porta 60/100 Track Cleaner. Specifically engineered for the Hawa Porta series, this essential maintenance tool is the key to preserving the "Swiss-made" smooth glide that defines high-end architectural sliding hardware.

HAWA Porta 60/100 Track Cleaner

The HAWA Porta 60/100 Track Cleaner (Art. No. 057.3099.071) is a specialised plastic maintenance tool designed to remove dust, debris, and aluminium filings from the internal running tracks of sliding door systems.

When installing or maintaining top-running systems like the Hawa Porta 60 or Hawa Porta 100, even microscopic debris can cause "stepping" (a bumpy feel) or noise. This tool is shaped specifically to fit the profile of the Hawa track, ensuring 100% contact for a thorough clean that a standard cloth or vacuum cannot achieve.

Key Features & Benefits

Precision Profile: Tailored to fit the unique geometry of the Hawa Porta 60 and 100 series tracks.
Durable Plastic Construction: Hard enough to dislodge stubborn construction dust, yet soft enough not to scratch the anodized aluminium finish of the track.
Essential for Warranty: Hawa recommends cleaning tracks before the first run to prevent damage to the high-quality ball-bearing rollers.
Anti-Friction Maintenance: Regular use prevents debris buildup that can lead to premature wear of the soft-close mechanisms and running gear.

HAWA Track Cleaner vs. Standard Cleaning Methods

Feature	HAWA Porta Track Cleaner	Standard Cloth/Vacuum
Reach	Reaches deep into the internal "V" or "U" grooves of the track.	Often misses the corners where debris collects.
Material Safety	Non-marring plastic safe for anodized aluminium.	Vacuums with metal tips or abrasive cloths can scratch.
Debris Removal	Scrapes away stuck aluminium filings from installation.	Only removes loose surface dust.
Long-term Performance	Preserves the silent, effortless glide.	Debris left behind can lead to noisy operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

Q: Why do I need a specific cleaner for the Hawa Porta track?
A: Hawa tracks are precision-engineered. Standard cleaning tools often cannot reach the specific contact points where the rollers meet the track. The Hawa Track Cleaner is moulded to the track’s exact dimensions to ensure the running surface is perfectly clear of obstructions.

Q: Can I use lubricants instead of cleaning?
A: No. Hawa strictly advises against spraying lubricants (like WD-40 or silicone) inside the tracks, as these attract dust and create a "sludge" that destroys the ball bearings. The best way to maintain a Hawa system is to keep the track dry and clean using this plastic tool.

Q: Is this tool compatible with other Hawa systems?
A: While designed for the Porta 60/100, it is often compatible with other Hawa systems sharing similar track profiles, such as the Hawa Divido series. Always check your specific track width before use.

Q: When should I use the track cleaner?
A: It is most critical immediately after installation (to remove metal shavings from drilling) and once a year for residential or commercial maintenance.

Pro Tip for Professional Installers

Always use the track cleaner before installing the running gear. If you run the rollers over even a single metal filing left from a drill hole, it can create a permanent flat spot on the roller, resulting in a "click" every time the door moves.
