FAQs

Can you manufacture brushes for the lubrication of belts and chains?

These brushes are highly specialised and are made to special order, they are constructed with a sealed bore through the brush to allow fluid or air to pass through the bristles.

We have manufactured these lubrication brushes for various purposes such as:

• The cleaning and/or lubrication of belts and chains with silicon release oil.
• To apply liquids to products in the food production industry.
• Compressed air passing through the brush to clean linear ball screws.

If you require lubrication brushes manufactured, please get in touch and we can provide a quotation.

Can you supply steel wire brushes for airport runways, and racetracks?

We strongly advise that wire brushes are not used at airports, racetracks, or pedestrian areas. Whilst steel wire bristle is good at scarifying, inherent to its material properties are its propensity to fatigue. Wire will fatigue, it is a case of when, not if, and these broken shards of wire are sharp and can damage tyres and injury to people; instead, we insist that these sensitive areas are swept with plastic bristled brushes.

For more information on steel wire brushes compared to plastic bristled brushes please view our resource article here. To get in touch for a quotation of side brushes, please follow this link.
