Spiral Brushes - a proven tool
Brushing machines with rotating spiral brushes are compact systems for the mechanical in-line treatment of round materials. For this purpose, the material passes through a spiral brush fixed in a rotating unit. The rotation boosts the wiping effect of this proven tool and effectively reduces the dirt build-up on the bristles. Depending on the application and material the brushes can have synthetic, brass or steel bristles.
The system consists of a sturdy steel frame with a conically downward shaped working box with exhaust connector. Inside the chamber is the rotation unit for holding a spiral brush. The chamber is fitted with a lid. If required, an air wipe can be installed behind it to finally blow off loose residual particles.
Removed contaminants are collected in the box and can be discharged by means of a suction device, connected to the exhaust connector. Finally, loose residual particles are blown off with a compressed air nozzle. To change the used spiral brush, the two-part rotation unit is opened and a new brush is clamped in place.
The compact brushing system DRB-SCS has a similar structure as the big brother DRB-WCS. Concentrated on a small work box with docked control cabinet, the unit requires only about 420 mm of space.
The DRB-WCS and DRB-SCS brush cleaning units are successfully used for:
- Removal of scale residues, metal particles and dust
- Reduction of drawing agent residues such as calcium and sodium stearate
- Reduction and uniform leveling of release agents such as talcum on insulated conductors
