Custom Lath Brushes
BaJie Brush manufactures custom lath brushes for cleaning, washing, wiping, pressing, guiding, sealing and other industrial applications. The brush consists of bristles securely staple-set into a solid plastic base, providing a strong and durable construction for use on machinery and production lines.
Unlike metal channel strip brushes, lath brushes use a solid plastic strip as the brush base. Holes are drilled into the base and the bristles are inserted and secured in individual tufts. This construction allows the brush width, length, bristle pattern and density to be customized for different applications.
Lath brushes can be manufactured according to customer drawings, samples or application requirements. The base dimensions, overall length, bristle height, bristle material, filament diameter, tuft arrangement and brush density can all be customized.
Bristle Materials and Plastic Base Options
Lath 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, abrasive filaments and other specialty materials. Bristle diameter, stiffness, color and density can also be customized.
The brush base is typically made from durable plastic materials and can be produced in different widths, thicknesses and lengths. The base material and dimensions can be selected according to the installation method, mechanical strength and working conditions.
Bristles are inserted into drilled holes in the plastic base and secured in individual tufts. The hole spacing, number of rows, tuft pattern and bristle density can be adjusted according to the required brush performance.
Applications of Lath Brushes
Lath brushes are widely used on industrial machinery, production lines and conveyor systems for cleaning, washing, wiping, guiding, pressing and sealing. The solid base provides stable support for the bristles and allows the brush to maintain consistent contact during operation.
Common applications include food processing equipment, conveyor cleaning, sheet and panel processing, surface cleaning, product guiding and industrial sealing. Different bristle materials and brush densities can be selected according to the surface, working environment and required brushing action.
Custom Sizes and Specifications
Lath brushes can be customized in overall length, base width, base thickness, bristle height, filament diameter, number of rows and bristle density. The tuft arrangement can also be designed according to the required contact area and brushing performance.
Depending on the design and application, both the length and width can be manufactured up to 6 meters, while the bristle height can reach up to 300 mm. Customers can provide drawings, samples or required dimensions for custom production.
How to Choose a Lath Brush
When choosing a lath brush, first consider the application, installation dimensions and required brushing action. For cleaning and wiping, bristle material and stiffness should be selected according to the surface and the material being removed. For sealing applications, higher bristle density may be required to provide more continuous coverage.
Temperature, moisture, chemicals, contact pressure and operating conditions should also be considered when selecting the bristle and base materials. If the required specification is not known, customers can provide drawings, photos, samples or application details and we can recommend a suitable brush construction..
Frequently Asked Questions
What bristle materials are available for lath brushes?
Lath brushes can be manufactured with nylon, PP, PBT, natural fibers, abrasive filaments and other bristle materials. The appropriate material depends on the application, required stiffness, temperature and working environment.
What is the difference between a lath brush and a metal channel strip brush?
A lath brush uses bristle tufts inserted into a solid plastic base, while a metal channel strip brush uses continuous bristles secured inside a U-shaped metal channel. The two constructions offer different mounting options, dimensions and brush patterns for different industrial applications.
Can the bristle density and tuft pattern be customized?
Yes. The number of rows, hole spacing, tuft arrangement and bristle density can be customized according to the application. Higher or lower density can be selected depending on the required contact, cleaning or sealing performance.
Can you manufacture lath brushes according to drawings or samples?
Yes. We can manufacture custom lath brushes according to customer drawings, samples or required dimensions. If a drawing is not available, customers can also provide photos, installation dimensions and application details.
