Formed strip brushes are made by forming straight metal channel strip brushes into circular, curved or spiral shapes. They are widely used for sealing, cleaning, wiping, guiding and surface treatment in industrial machinery and equipment.
BaJie Brush manufactures custom formed strip brushes in different shapes and sizes, including ring brushes, cup strip brushes and spiral brushes. Bristle materials, metal backing materials, dimensions and brush density can be customized according to your application.
Climbing rope cleaning brush with inward-facing nylon bristles for 360° cleaning around climbing ropes. The flexible nylon bristles remove dirt and small particles from the rope surface, while the stainless steel spiral backing provides a durable, corrosion-resistant structure. Standard size is 90 mm long × 50 mm diameter, with custom sizes available.
Spiral brush formed from a metal channel strip brush into a continuous coil. Available with inverted or external bristles, custom pitch, winding direction, diameter and filament materials for different industrial applications.
Replacement nylon brush skirt for pressure washer surface cleaners, designed to help contain water spray and debris during floor and surface cleaning. Available in 15″, 18″, 20″, 21″ and 24″ sizes, with custom diameters available.
Cup strip brush formed from a metal channel strip brush into a circular cup shape for sealing and cleaning around round surfaces and machine openings. Available with custom diameters, angled or vertical bristle orientations, multiple filament materials, and galvanized or stainless steel backing.
Outside disk brush with high-density outward-facing bristles for circular sealing, cleaning and surface contact around rotating or stationary components. Ring diameter, bristle height, filament material and metal channel can be customized for different industrial applications.
Inside disk brush with high-density inward-facing bristles for 360° sealing, cleaning and guiding around shafts, cables, tubes and other round components. Ring diameter, center opening, filament material and metal channel can be customized for different applications.
BaJie Brush manufactures custom formed strip brushes for sealing, cleaning, wiping, guiding and surface treatment applications. Formed strip brushes are produced by forming metal channel strip brushes into different shapes according to the required application and installation dimensions.
Depending on the design, strip brushes can be formed into rings, cups, spirals and other custom shapes. The brush dimensions, bristle material, bristle height, metal channel size and density can be customized according to customer drawings, samples or application requirements.
Different forming methods can be used depending on the required brush shape and dimensions. Customers can provide drawings or samples, and we can manufacture the formed strip brush according to the required configuration.
Types of Formed Strip Brushes
Ring Brushes
Ring brushes are produced by forming metal channel strip brushes into circular shapes. Depending on the design, the bristles can face inward or outward. They are commonly used for sealing, wiping, guiding and cleaning around shafts, pipes, openings and other circular components.
Cup Strip Brushes
Cup strip brushes are formed into circular or cup-shaped configurations with the bristles arranged to provide contact with the required surface. They can be used for sealing, cleaning, wiping and other applications where a formed brush is required around a circular area.
Spiral Brushes
Spiral brushes are produced by forming metal channel strip brushes into a continuous spiral shape. Different diameters, pitches, lengths and bristle configurations can be manufactured according to the application. They are commonly used for conveying, cleaning, guiding and surface treatment.
Bristle and Metal Channel Materials
Formed strip brushes can be manufactured with different bristle materials according to the application and working environment. Common options include nylon, polypropylene (PP), polyester (PBT), natural fibers, horsehair, brass wire, carbon steel wire and stainless steel wire.
The metal channel is commonly manufactured from galvanized steel or stainless steel. Material selection depends on factors such as corrosion resistance, temperature, mechanical requirements and the working environment.
Bristle diameter, stiffness and density can also be customized. Softer filaments can be selected for gentle wiping and sealing, while stiffer or wire bristles can be used when more aggressive cleaning or surface treatment is required.
Applications of Formed Strip Brushes
Formed strip brushes are used in industrial machinery and production equipment where a straight strip brush cannot provide the required contact shape. The formed construction allows the bristles to follow circular, curved or spiral surfaces.
Common applications include sealing around rotating components, cleaning shafts and pipes, wiping surfaces, guiding products, conveying materials and surface treatment. The brush shape and bristle configuration can be designed according to the movement and geometry of the equipment.
Custom Sizes and Specifications
Formed strip brushes are normally manufactured according to the customer's installation dimensions and application requirements. Important specifications include overall diameter, inside diameter, outside diameter, brush height, metal channel size, bristle material and bristle density.
For spiral brushes, the pitch, overall length and winding direction should also be specified. For ring and cup strip brushes, the required diameter and bristle orientation are important when determining the brush construction.
Customers can provide drawings, samples, photos or installation dimensions for custom production.
How to Choose a Formed Strip Brush
When selecting a formed strip brush, first determine the required brush shape and installation dimensions. Ring brushes are suitable for circular applications, while spiral brushes are commonly selected when continuous brushing along a shaft or cylindrical surface is required.
The bristle material should then be selected according to the required brushing action and working environment. Temperature, moisture, chemicals, rotational speed, contact pressure and the material being brushed should all be considered.
If the required specification is not known, customers can provide application information, drawings or samples and we can recommend a suitable brush construction.
