Interdisciplinary Expertise Paves the Way to the Optimal Brush System
There is currently hardly any tool or machine component that covers such a wide range of applications as the technical brush. Versatile in design and highly adaptable, it consistently proves to be the optimal solution for tackling even the most demanding tasks in industry and trade. Developing new, tailor-made brush types is part of the daily routine for the experts at KULLEN-KOTI. This is done in close collaboration with customers, with the optional use of the test center at the company’s headquarters in Reutlingen often playing a key role.
As a flexible and cost-effective tool solution, technical brushes now perform a wide variety of tasks in wood and WPC processing.
Tasks range from surface treatment and material flow to integrated machine cleaning. While powered roller and rotary brushes dominate in production environments, strip and lath brushes are primarily used in conveying and storage technology. Manufacturer KULLEN-KOTI offers a wide range of suitable brush systems for both industrial use and manual applications in wood and WPC processing.
The use of technical brushes supports companies in their sustainability efforts.
As manual and powered tools in surface and production technology, KULLEN-KOTI’s technical brushes have proven themselves across both industrial and craft sectors. Beyond their application-specific advantages, they offer a feature that is becoming increasingly important for many companies: they can be refurbished and reused multiple times. Unlike almost any other tool concept, the use of technical brushes actively supports businesses in implementing sustainability and resource conservation principles in practice.
At Blechexpo, KULLEN-KOTI focuses on high-dynamic finishing processes.
KULLEN-KOTI’s brush systems have long been standard tools in production technology. At this year’s Blechexpo in Stuttgart, the company invites metalworking professionals to explore its current product portfolio. A key focus will be on the use of technical brushes for fine grinding and edge rounding—processes that are increasingly adopted by tool manufacturers and suppliers of ready-to-install components as part of advanced mechanical surface finishing.
At EMO 2023, KULLEN-KOTI showcases the full range of its brush tools.
KULLEN-KOTI’s technical brush systems have been standard tools in the metal industry for many decades. At this year’s EMO in Hanover, the globally active manufacturer will once again present a representative cross-section of its current product range in Hall 11. The spotlight will be on brush systems designed for various stages of manual and machine-based processing of metallic surfaces.
Technical brushes simplify many processes in modern wood processing.
Today’s wood processing industry is defined by highly automated workflows, in which technical brushes are playing an increasingly versatile role. As cost-effective and multifunctional tools, they now handle a wide range of tasks—from surface treatment and machine cleaning to material handling. In production environments, powered rotary and roller brushes are primarily used, while various types of lath and strip brushes are common in conveying and storage systems. Premium manufacturer KULLEN-KOTI currently offers a broad selection of innovative brush solutions for both industrial and craft-based wood processing applications.
Many factors define the application-specific design of technical brushes.
As work tool brushes in surface and production technology, technical brushes are now used across many industries. Depending on their design, they are employed for deburring, shaping, structuring, or cleaning. With its broad product portfolio, KULLEN-KOTI offers the right brush solution for virtually every task. Read here which specific factors must be considered when designing and configuring powered brush tools.
Technical brushes stand out as extremely versatile tools in deburring technology
Brush deburring is considered one of the most flexible and often most cost-effective methods in mechanical deburring technology. Unlike complex processes and systems, it offers manufacturers and processors of metallic and polymer semi-finished products and components the ability to remove burrs, round edges, and eliminate flash. Read on to discover why brush deburring can be easily integrated into existing production processes and how it enables precision down to the micrometre range.
At Aluminium 2022, KULLEN-KOTI presented its furnace transport rollers
Equipped with special wire fillings that withstand temperatures of up to 1,200 °C, KULLEN-KOTI’s furnace transport rollers are used worldwide in horizontal lines of heat treatment systems. They ensure the precise and surface-friendly transport of aluminium plates and sheets. At this year’s ALUMINIUM trade fair in Düsseldorf, KULLEN-KOTI is presenting this exceptional type of brush and providing insights into the many options for customised fine-tuning. You can find the company in Hall 7A, Stand D30.
At Techtextil, KULLEN-KOTI presents itself as a partner to the textile and nonwoven fabric industry.
“For decades, KULLEN-KOTI’s brush systems have been among the standard tools used in the processing of technical textiles and nonwovens. The company supplies both manufacturers and machine builders in the industry with customisable brush solutions for production, finishing, and surface treatment. At this year’s Techtextil (21–24 June 2022) in Frankfurt am Main, the brush specialist will showcase a representative cross-section of its current portfolio in Hall 12.0, Stand C18.”
KULLEN-KOTI supports its brush range with a structured service concept
As part of a five-step program, KULLEN-KOTI offers users and customers of its brush systems a wide range of highly practical services. These services simplify the selection process, take all technical aspects into account, and quickly lead to the optimal brush solution. Highlights include an online product advisor, on-site analysis, and the expertise and technological capabilities of the Brush Test Center (BTeC) at the company’s headquarters in Reutlingen.
KULLEN-KOTI’s brush systems excel in optimizing surface roughness
The processing of metallic surfaces to achieve defined roughness values takes place within a range of just a few micrometres. To ensure reliable and repeatable results, many users rely on brush systems from KULLEN-KOTI that are specifically designed for automated roughness depth optimization. Read on to learn why expert selection of the appropriate filling material plays a crucial role in this specialised area of mechanical surface treatment.
