Metal Back Strip Brush Shapes

Helical

Metal back strip brushes are formed into required helical shape after manufactured straight. Helical strip is then mounted on a core by Tanis or shipped as individual replacements for mounting on customers exisiting core. Helixes can be formed with right hand lead or left hand lead to orient or move product to outside or center. The low density and open style pattern maintains continuous surface contact while eliminating clogging and dirt build up. Applications include conveyor cleaning, product transfer and positioning on conveyor and transport systems, leather hide dusting and glass washing.

Internal Ring

An internal ring or coil is manufactured by forming a metal back strip brush with the filament material to the inside. The ring can be sprung open to place over a shaft or split in halves or segments to be mounted over a shaft. Ideally used for cleaning the outside surfaces of plastic or metal tubing or rod, and used for drum and shaft seals. In high temperature application, wire filament is recommended.

External Ring

External rings are single or partial metal back strip brushes wound with the filament to the outside. They are used as individual rings or mounted together to make a wider brush face. Used in various cleaning and polishing applications.

Straight

Most economical and common manufacturing shape for metal back strip brushes. Brushes are used individually or mounted parallel on a flat or cylindrical surface for a wider brush face. Applications include window, door, and dock leveler seals, conveyor cleaning, splash curtains, lawn sweeper machines, sweeping golf surfaces, static control, cleaning glass and printed circuit boards.

Coiled 

Metal back strip brushes can be manufactured into coils by winding onto a core construction. Coils are made with a close wound, tight coil and making an extremely dense brush face or an open wound, loose coil wrapped with a lead and producing less density in brush face. Metal back strip brushes are pre-mounted on a core usually made of wood, plastic or steel with or without a shaft. Coils can also be mounted directly onto a core, tube or shaft or manufactured to replace an existing coil on installed equipment. Applications include conveyor cleaning, glass washing, printed circuit board scrubbing, vegetable and fruit washing, sheet metal scrubbing and polishing, clean trammel screens, buffing leather hides and used as an auger or screw to move product in a given direction.

Coiled

Rotary 

A metal back strip brush is attached and wound directly to core or shaft furnished either by customer or built by Tanis Incorporated. Recommended construction for small production runs. Coil is wound under tension onto a core or shaft for secure mounting. Generally, both ends of the coil are welded to a core, tube or shaft. The coil can be a close wound or open wound coil depending on desired brush density. Dynamic balancing is provided to assure complete surface contact regardless of brush size and speed of the brush.
