These are shafts complete with bearings with heavy duty brush strip coiled around them. They are used to clean trommel screens in the quarry industry, and would be found in the quarry and waste recycling industries.

Industrial strip brushes (brush strips) are made by forming metal strip around a wire which retains filaments, mainly Nylon and Polypropylene. Strip brushes are used in many areas of industry, including draught proofing, cleaning, anti-vibration, shutter doors, waste skips and food processing. Widdops are trusted strip brush manufacturers, and we can create bespoke fabrications to suit your applications.

Brush strip is formed into a circle with the filaments facing upwards, giving the effect of a cup. Used in many areas of industry, such as in cleaning, seals, waste industry skips and food processing.

 

Door brush strips are made by forming metal strip around a wire which retains filaments, mainly Nylon and Polypropylene. Door brush strips are used in many areas of industry for draught proofing, cleaning and door anti vibration. Door brush strips can be used on shutter doors and can fit most types of door.

To make a Punch brush, a backing material such as wood or plastic is chosen and filament is punched into the backing material using a machine, the filaments are then held in place with a staple. Cleaning brushes, sweeping brushes and tooth brushes are typical examples of punch brushes.

For a knotted punch brush a backing material such as wood or plastic is chosen and filament is punched into the backing material using a machine. The filaments are then held in place with a staple, creating a knot of brush – it takes numerous knots to create a brush head. Cleaning brushes, sweeping brushes and tooth brushes are typical examples of a knotted punch brush.

 

A backing material such as wood or plastic is chosen, and holes are drilled in the base unit with a small hole to allow a retaining wire through. The filament is stitched in place by hand using the retaining wire. Unlike punch brushes, there is no staple to come loose. It takes numerous holes (knots) to create a brush head. Used in cleaning brushes, sweeping brushes and in areas such as water treatment and food processing where loss of filament is not permitted.

Helical strip brushes are made in the same way as brush rollers. They can be left on or taken off the shaft, so they can then be fitted to existing customer shaft if required. They used in the construction of augers for water treatment industries and food processing.
