Inverted disks and coils are especially well suited for cleaning the outside surfaces of rods and shafts. Our custom inverted or inside disc brushes are manufactured by taking a straight metal channel brush and forming it into a circle shape using our custom design process. The fibre fillings are then turned towards the centre of the brush making this type of brush especially well-suited for cleaning the outside surfaces of rods and shafts. Inverted discs also make excellent sealing devices.
Brush Firm offers horse hair strip brushes, manufactured using natural fibers from the mane or tail. Horse hair fiber has good polishing and cleaning properties, suitable for applications where a metal wire brush material or synthetic filament may not be appropriate.
horse hair is produced from the mane or tail hair, and normally we stock stiff black horse hair, although other specifications, such as soft grey, are available to meet customer requirements. Horse hair provides the ability to polish, dust, or clean the surface without being abrasive, and offers a wet operating temperature up to 400 F. Horse hair can be mixed with other natural fibers, synthetics, or wire materials for specific application requirements.
crimped wire wheel brushes feature precision-formed crimps in each wire. This imparts a slight flexing action for a gentler brushing action without reducing the efficiency of the brush in surface cleaning and texturing operations. Slight knee-action in the bristles produces some give in the wires to soften the impact angle of each wire against the surface being brushed. Crimped Wire Wheels are excellent for deburring, edge blending, rust removal, roughing for adhesion, and finishing for appearance. Minos Industry crimped wire wheel brushes are available in a wide range of sizes with your choice of long or short bristles. Minos Industry manufactures a broad line of wheel brushes, ranging from small diameter copper centre wheel brushes to large wide face brushes. Wheel brushes are available with crimped wire sizes from very fine to aggressive. Other features that are available by special order include single or double keyways, plastic adapters, square or hexagonal Arbor holes, non-standard size Arbor holes or brush diameters, and close-tolerance ground finishes. Brushes can be used separately, or gang mounted to accomplish a wide face.
Spiral wound cylindrical Brush is applied wherever a continuous and wide face brushing is required. It is manufactured by winding strip brush onto a shaft or core, which is made up of stainless steel, galvanised Iron, or zinc steel backing. It is also made by fusing a strip brush and creating into a one piece fused spiral wound cylinder brush. Fill materials include Wire, Synthetic and Natural fibre.
Metal Backed Strip Brushes can be wound at the desired pitch to suit any application, example for Light work it may be preferable to spread the pitch between the strip to create a less dense fill and ultimately a more flexible brush, for Heavy work or where greater pressure is required the strips can be closely wound resulting in a more dense stiffer brush.Spiral wound coil brushes have unlimited uses. They can be used for scrubbing, deburring, cleaning, polishing, and the spreading of liquids and powders.
These brushes are made by stapling knots of filament into pre drilled cores in lengths. The most commonly used brush patterns are staggered rows, helix or chevron patterns with parallel & spiral rows also available. can be inserted straight into pre drilled cores or can be inserted on an angle of up to 30 in both left and right hand designs. The size and thickness of the bristle will determine the overall strength of the brush.Tufted cylinder brushes are used in many industrial and commercial applications where continuous filament movement creates the proper brushing action. From cleaning conveyors to polishing fruits and vegetables, tufted cylinder brushes are an effective and inexpensive way of applying coatings or removing debris for varied surfaces and shapes. Tufted cylinder brushes may be designed for many applications from dusting and polishing to cleaning and scrubbing.For lighter work it may be preferable to open up the pitch between fill holes to create a more flexible brush. For heavy work or where greater pressure is required, the pitch between the fill holes can be closed up to give a more dense stiffer brush. Alternatively, fill materials can be made short for hard aggressive brushing or long for softer sweeping.
Nylon fill strip brushes offer the following characteristics in most applications: excellent fatigue life, good abrasion resistance, low to moderate absorption of water (3% to 9%) leading to only a temporary reduction in stiffness, an excellent bend recovery rate, resistance to most common solvents, and suitability for use in weak acids. Nylon strip brushes can function on conveyor lines as a product hold-down,as an applicator of wet or dry coatings, or as a passive duster or wiper to sweep away loose debris or to redirect or stabilize your moving product. Using conductive nylon, available in a 20% mix with regular nylon or in a 100% conductive format, you can also create a static reduction strip brush.
A brush strip filled with stainless steel wire can be used as a brush seal on a piece of equipment. A strip brush seal is a flexible shield against mist, dust, light, heat, or intrusion into a point of operation.
We feature 304 Stainless Steel wire to offer a higher analysis wire to customers working on either 302 0r 304 stainless work pieces.
Outside disk brushes are single coils that may be used individually or ganged in multiples. Outside disk brushes are single coils that may be used individually or ganged in multiples. Applications include product separating, product guiding, cleaning, and polishing. Brush Firm can design and manufacturing any custom outside disk brush to meet our customers application.
Fill Materials: Nylon, Polypropylene, Tampico, Horsehair, Polyester, Abrasive Nylon, Stainless Steel, Crimped Carbon Steel, Brass, Other materials available upon request
Polyester filament is suitable for use in strip brushes in some environments and applications where neither polypropylene nor nylon make a good fit. Polyester is less stiff than polypropylene and comparable to nylon in dry stiffness modulus, but superior to nylon in wet stiffness due to its lower water absorption rate. Like nylon, polyester offers a higher softening and melting point than polypropylene, and superior memory or bend-recovery. Polyester excels over nylons and polypropylene in high-temperature oxidation resistance, or the tendency to lose physical properties over time at elevated temperatures. Polyester is less expensive than nylons, but slightly more expensive than polypropylene filaments. Polyester is available by special order in FDA-approved for food contact versions.

Brush Firm offers a variety of custom tampico strip brushes and other natural fiber strip brushes manufactured from vegetable fibers. Tampico strip seals and brushes feature a formable metal structural element known as a channel base, and tampico brush fill that can be varied by channel backing size, trim length, and density to affect the aggressiveness of the brushing action.
