Typical applications are tennis court grooming, lawn sweeping, golf driving surfaces, flap wheels, moistening and splash curtains.

 

Internal Ring

Used for sealing shafts, wire management, grease seals, wipers & cleaning tubing. Can be made in two or more pieces or sprung open to place over a shaft.
 
 
External Ring

Can be used individually or stacked to make wider brush. Can be placed on shaft with spacers between rings. Used for cleaning, polishing, deburring and sealing.
 
 
Cup Brush

Tight Wound Cylinder on Shaft

 
These brushes can be very small (e.g. condenser tube cleaning) to very large (i.e. glass washing) and used in many types of cleaning applications:  glass washing, condenser tube cleaning, photo processing, plywood dusting, and many more.
 
Cylinder with lead
Cylinder with lead can be coiled free or onto a shaft.  Brush can have left or right hand lead. Minimum i.d. is typically 1.5 times the strip size. Brush can be mounted permanently to shaft with the use of clips, J-bolts or welded. Applications are from dusting to polishing to de-burring to cleaning, have been used as an auger to move product in a given direction.
 
 
Internal Coil

Oval

 
Strip can be formed in many widths or lengths from all channel sizes, and fill materials. Brushes found with vacuums used for dusting and cleaning. Notch can be on sides or at ends.
 
 
Notched Strip
Notches can be any pattern or size. Typical applications are under water vacuums, sweeping, sealing and cleaning.
 
Bed Brush

 
Several straight strips inserted into an extrusion to form a flat surface that can be used to support material.  Typical application is a golf driving mat.
 
Herringbone/Helical Brush

 
Typically, the herringbone is used to spread materials from center of the brush to the outside, or to pull materials to the center of the brush for better vacuuming.

As with the herringbone design, the helical brush is designed to move material either to the left or right.  Helical brushes are used in applications such as cleaning conveyors or in vacuums.
 
Cylinder with Straight Strip

 
Found in many applications such as flap wheels, wiping, moving product, and cleaning applications.
