Cylinder brushes are typically mounted onto a shaft and spun using a motor. They can be made with denser filling materials or spiral-shaped materials to facilitate different types of product movement or brush intensity within a given application. These brushes go by many names, including:
- Rotary brushes
- Wound brushes
- Spiral brushes
- Coil brushes
Cylinder Brush Industrial Applications
Cylinder brushes have many common industrial applications. For example, they may be used to facilitate simple cleaning operations in machinery. They can also be used to remove particles from chips, rust, and oil. Smaller, more delicate cylinder brushes can be used for sensitive applications, such as cleaning a computer’s circuit board before installation. The brushes reach into crevices on the board to ensure remove particles, dust, and other contaminants. Industries that use cylinder brushes include:
- Medical Devices
- Pipeline
- Food processing
- Circuit board manufacturing
- Metallurgy
- Glass and ceramics processing including Optical
- Machine and automation applications
- Plastics and Rubber processing
- Aerospace
Common applications for cylinder brushes include:
- Sorting and moving product for packaging
- Polishing, cleaning, deburring or coating during production
- Cleaning conveyor belts
- Washing and waxing fruits and vegetables
- Spreading glue or paint
- Metal finishing
- Texturing
- Label applying
