How Does Contract Production Work

How Does Contract Production Work?

Many businesses have a great idea for a product but don’t have the expertise, production space, or equipment needed for in-house manufacturing. Contract production, also called contract manufacturing, is the solution to these challenges. In contract manufacturing, a skilled production partner builds complete products or specific components on behalf of another company.

Contract manufacturing allows businesses to compete in markets that would otherwise be unreachable. With a trusted third-party provider like Cocker-Weber on your side, you’ll obtain the quality products you need, delivered directly to you, your packager, or other desired location. We can manufacture entire brushes for private labeling or drill, fill, and trim bristles using your cores and bases. Our flexible services are designed to accomplish diverse production goals.

Industrial Brushes for Contract Production

Cocker-Weber manufactures an extensive variety of finely crafted brushes for industrial use. Learn more about our brushes for industrial production below.

Cylinder and Wheel Brushes

Also called rotary brushes, cylinder and wheel brushes feature a long, tubular shape for operation in conveyors or machines. Their purpose is to position, sort, and clean items during processing. They can also be used to apply lubrication, finishes, or other materials to products. Wheel brushes deliver straight-line brushing that is particularly useful for dusting, surface finishing, polishing, deburring, and weld brushing. Other uses include removing paint, scale, rust, or contaminants.

Cup and End Brushes

Cup and end brushes are small in size, making them an ideal solution for cleaning cracks, crevices, and unusually shaped surfaces. These products are recommended for applications involving paint, rust, scale, and dirt removal.

Disk Brushes

Disk brushes feature a circular base design with perpendicular filaments or angled tufts. We offer a range of sizes and material options for bases, including plastic, wood, and metal. The filaments can be constructed from plastic, natural fibers, or metals. Disk brushes are used in many industrial settings for cleaning, polishing, and scrubbing flat surfaces.

Flat and Handle Brushes

These brushes feature convenient handles to accommodate manual use. The handles can be made from plastic, wood, or metal materials. Flat and handle brushes are often used in specialized industrial applications, such as:

  • Polishing
  • Eliminating dust
  • Applying coatings
  • Removing scale
  • Lubrication

Tufted Strip and Plate Brushes

Tufted strip and plate brushes feature a plastic or wooden base drilled with holes to contain the bristles. Bunches of bristles can be held together by epoxies, wires, or staples. The simplicity of this brush design makes it easy to customize to suit application-specific needs.

Special Brushes

Our special brushes are designed for a range of unique purposes. They feature specific shapes, slots, openings, and trims for various needs, such as:

  • Cardboard making
  • Envelope feeding and sorting
  • Pill packaging
  • Polishing
  • Textile processing
