Industrial brush rollers
An industrial roller brush is a specialist brush, designed to be mounted on a rotating shaft, featuring bristles wound in spiral coils around a central tube made from metal or plastic.
Widdops are an industrial roller brush manufacturer with a difference. We produce all of our brushes in-house to the highest standards, making us one of the leading industrial roller brush suppliers in the UK.
As an industrial roller brush manufacturer, our roller brushes are made using our bespoke engineering and fabrication facilities. This allows customers to specify and custom design their industrial roller brush to best suit the desired end use, with a choice of filament materials to suit various applications.

Custom industrial roller brush suppliers
We manufacture industrial roller brush shaft cores in-house to exact customer specifications. However, due to manufacturing, handling, and delivery limitations, the following industrial roller shaft size restrictions do apply:
- Max roller shaft length = 4000mm (4 metres)
- Min roller shaft length = 199mm
- Max roller shaft diameter = 700mm
- Min roller shaft diameter = 25mm
The wire brush roller shaft core is mounted with a helically wound strip brush and then trimmed to length. Our standard size filament holder strip widths are 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 11mm (measuring across the base of the brush holder), with filament diameter sizes ranging from 0.15mm up to 3mm.
The application of the industrial roller brush will determine which materials are used for the bristle-holding strip, which can include:
- Galvanised mild steel
- 316 stainless steel
- 304 stainless steel
The type of material used for the brush holding strip and the diameter of the filament will influence the length of filament used.
