Strip Brushes perform a multitude of functions in a production environment. Strip brushes feature a formable metal structural element, the channel base, and brush fill that can be varied as to material type, trim length, density, and flexibility. A Strip Brush can function as a brush seal on a piece of equipment, a flexible shield against mist, dust, light, heat, or intrusion into a point of operation. Mounted to contact a conveyed product, a Strip Brush can function as a product hold-down, a static reduction device, a detector of holes in insulating coatings, an applicator of wet or dry coatings or a duster to remove loose material. Mounted on a conveyor line, a Strip Brush can redirect or stabilize a moving product or sweep away loose debris. Inserted into a paddle wheel style cylinder assembly, strip brushes allow conveyor cleaning brush refills to be performed in-house. Wrapped around an auger-shaft or added to the flights of an auger screw, a strip brush becomes a flexible flight capable of moving product without damage.
We can mix materials to accomplish multiple functions, such as nylon and fine brass/bronze wire to dust and reduce static. We can insert other materials, such as thin metal foil, Teflon® fabric, or EPDM rubber sheeting, into the center of a strip brush to provide a solid barrier in addition to the brushing action. We will work with you to design and provide the exact brush required for each application challenge.
Spiral Brush manufactures strip brush in a variety of channel sizes and material offerings.
Channel base material options include:
- Galvanized Steel – most economical
- Stainless Steel – resists corrosion
- Brass – low electrical resistance
- Aluminum – resists corrosion, lightweight
