Belt Brushes

Belt Brushes
The outstanding feature of belt brushes is the flexibility of the belt backing, which allows the surface of the brush to adapt to almost any contour. As an example, they are used in cases where there is insufficient space for a brush with a rigid body and correspondingly flexible bristles. Belt brushes can be filled with synthetic or natural bristles ranging in nature from soft to hard. At the same time, however, they are also used as high resistance brushes. Belt brushes can be used horizontally, vertically or at an angle. They can also be ideally used as a transverse brushing system, e.g. for brushing to one side at right angles to the running direction of conveyor belts or similar.

We can produce flat-belt brushes in any length requested, open ended or endless. They are mainly equipped with natural hairs or bristles, plant fibres or synthetic bristles.

For this brush type we use standardised vee-belt profiles, made of polyester elastomers and immune to moisture, oil and grease as well as resistant to numerous chemicals. Therefore an application is possible in a temperature range from -15°C to +80°C.

Toothed belt brushes from KULLEN are a version of common belt brushes and therefore are appropriate for the same application purposes. However, they offer one advantage in the feeding technique which the others do not: they can be set to a measurable cycle time.
