Shapes and Construction
|
|
Prior to coiling the brush, a metal back strip brush is made first. Strip brushes consist of densely compressed synthetic, natural bristles or wire filaments laid down over a continuous metal channel formed into a "U" shape. A binding wire is inserted over the filament materials and forced down into the partially formed metal backing. The binding wire causes the fill material to form vertically as the metal backing forms and closes over the binding wire and filament.

Internal Ring
|
|
An internal ring is manufactured by forming a metal back strip brush with the filament material to the inside. The ring can be sprung open to place over a shaft or split in halves or segments to be mounted over a shaft. Ideally used for cleaning the outside surfaces of plastic or metal tubing and rod or used for drum and shaft seals. In high temperature applications, wire filament is recommended.
|
|
|
|
External Ring
|
|
External rings are metal back strip brushes wound with the filament to the outside. They are used as individual rings or mounted together to make a wide brush face. They are used in various cleaning and polishing applications.

|
Formed Cup
|
|
A metal back strip brush is formed into a 360 degree circle or segments of a full circle. The backing sides can be formed vertical or at various angles. Generally used for vacuum hose seals, router enclosures for dust and particle collection on drill presses.
|
|
|
|
Formed Strip
|
|
The metal back strip brush can be formed into irregular shapes. With a range of configurations, strip brushes can be formed into ovals, squares, rectangles, “L” and “V” shapes and compound curves. Formed to meet many shapes and applications.
|
|
|
|
Straight Strip
|
|
The most economical and common manufacturing shape for metal back strip brushes. Brushes are used individually or mounted parallel on a flat surface for a wider brush face. Applications include window seals, door and dock leveler seals, air flow seals, cable management, engine seals, conveyor cleaning, splash curtains, machine guards, static control, transportation vehicle seals and cleaning glass

|
Coiled
|
|
Metal back strip brushes are manufactured into free or loose coils by winding them onto a mandrel or free coiling them. They can be produced as internal or external coils depending on the application and can be made with a close wound, tight coil making an extremely dense brush face or an open wound, loose coil with a lead producing less density in the brush face. Coils are manufactured to replace an existing coil on installed equipment or mounted onto a shaft or tube as a cylinder or rotary brush. Applications include conveyor cleaning, glass washing, vegetable and fruit washing, sheet metal polishing, cleaning trammel screens and used as an auger or screw to move product in a given direction.

|
|
Cylinder or Rotary
|
|
A metal back strip brush is attached and wound directly to a core, shaft or tube. The coil is wound under tension onto a core, shaft or tube for secure mounting, or free coiled and then assembled to the core. A coil can be close or open wound depending on the desired brush density. Dynamic balancing is provided, if required, to assure complete surface contact regardless of the brush size and speed of the brush. Brushes are generally used in conveyor cleaning, glass washing, vegetable and fruit washing, sheet metal polishing, cleaning trammel screens and used as an auger or screw to move product in a given direction.
