Around the world industrial brushes are vital to a wide variety of companies. Industrial brushes are most commonly used in metalworking environments for general cleaning, surface finishing or deburring. An industrial brush can be made from many different materials including stainless steel, carbon steel, nylon, abrasive nylon, brass or natural bristle. The material used depends on the work that needs to be completed. An industrial brush is at its highest performance level when it has been fitted to the exact size the job requires. Below is a breakdown of the most commonly used industrial brushes:
Power Brushes
Power brushes are cutting tools that use thousands of filaments to produce the effect that is needed. Power brushes are commonly used for heavy duty jobs such as paint removal, wire stripping, rust removal, or deburring. Power brushes come in a wide variety of styles including wheel, cup, mounted, end, and encapsulated among others.
Cylinder Hones
Cylinder Hones, commonly known as a ball hone or Flex Hone, is a flexible honing tool with a soft cutting action. Cylinder Hones come in a variety of sizes and abrasive types and can provide a plateau finish while deburring cross holes. These are often used as a final polishing too.
Tube Brushes
Tube brushes are commonly used for cross hole deburring and cleaning needs. These brushes are used to clean pipes and other hard to reach areas. Twisted in wire brushes are manufactured in stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, nylon, and abrasive nylon.
Strip Brushes
Strip brushes are most commonly manufactured from steel, carbon, nylon, tampico, polypropylene, and natural filaments. Strip brushes are used for surface cleaning, sealing, chip removal, conveyor cleaning, and many other brushing applications. Strip brushes come in standard sizes or can be customized to fit the job's requirements.
Diamond Hones
The latest innovation in industrial brush technology is Diamond Flex-Hones. These new tools developed by Brush Research Manufacturing are used for edge blending, deburring, and surface finishing in hard materials like carbide, ceramic and aerospace steel alloys. Diamond Flex-Hones provide an optimal finish at a very quick cut rate.
Custom Brushes
Many jobs require custom brushes to be manufactured. These brushes can be created to meet your exact specifications. Custom Cylinder-Hones, custom twisted-in-wire, radial, power and strip brushes are available. Designing a brush can be as simple as replacing and improving on an existing brush, or it can require the consideration of a large number of variables that need to be investigated before the best brush for a job is recommended.
