In shipbuilding, brushes are used for various purposes to ensure the quality, safety and efficiency of ships. Some of the most common uses of brushes in shipbuilding are:

Engine construction

When building ship engines, brushes are often used to deburr engine parts. Deburring is an important step in the manufacturing process to remove sharp edges and burrs on cylinder heads, pistons, crankshafts or valve covers. Brushes can also be used to smooth the surfaces of engine parts and remove bumps. Brushes are also always used for cleaning.

Cleaning

During maintenance, the outside of ships that are both underwater and dry-docked are cleaned over large areas with brushes. Algae and dirt accumulate on the surfaces, which are removed with brushes in an environmentally friendly way so that the ship has optimal sliding properties.

Rust removal and paint stripping
