Encapsulated Brushes

Encapsulated brushes are ideal for an aggressive work on working pieces and for a very exact working in edges and angles. By embedding steel wire, stainless steel wire, brass coated wire or brass wire in tough plastic, the filling width always remains the same and early break of the wires can be prevented. It’s the perfect tool for long lasting and safe working. The advantages when working with encapsulated brushes are longer lifetime and harder brush effect. Furthermore the risk of injury declines when using encapsulated brushes.

Abrasive Filaments (SIC/AO)

Abrasive Filaments consist of polyamide bristles containing abrasive grits. This modern material is ideal for deburring work, fine surface finishing of plastic and metal parts as well as grinding, cleaning, polishing and structuring surfaces. With their flexible surface, brushes with abrasive filament align to the different shape of working pieces. Abrasive bristles also have grinding effects on the side, which makes them even more flexible to application possibilities. You can choose between grit (from K60 to K1000) composed of aluminium oxide (AO) and silicon carbide (SIC). Also diamond grit is available.

Metal wires can be made into brushes in a straight, crimped or knotted form. A wire knot is always made from straight wires and is harder than a single wire with the same wire diameter. Crimped wires support each other and thus increase stability when brushing.

Straight wires in end products are used, for example, in hand brushes or interior brushes. For wheel brushes, cup and bevel brushes and shaft brushes, crimped or knotted wire variants are usually used.

The diameter and length of the bristles are the magic words when it comes to the right brushing result. Almost all problems can be easily remedied: whether the brushing effect is too weak, too strong or the brush transfers the burr. In our brushing know-how you will find a solution for all problems.

When using power-driven brushes, safety instructions must be observed (according to DIN EN ISO 1083). Pay attention to the appropriate measures when working with technical brushes. Here we offer an information sheet with safety instructions.

In order to maintain our high quality standards, we have integrated complex development tests and product testing routines as an integral part of our production processes: We carry out material tests, imbalance tests, safety tests, service life and performance tests.

Brushes made of stainless wire can be easily recognized by the green metal parts such as the side windows or the pot. We use wire with material number 1.4310. These brushes are suitable for brushing on stainless steel. Further information on brushing on stainless materials can be found here.

When brushing on stainless steel, stainless steel wire is recommended. This means that stainless materials such as non-ferrous metals or stainless steel, material number (WNr.) 1.4301 (AISI 304). This wire is resistant to corrosion and certain acids and alkalis.
ROF, RO4, ROL and RO8 are the common abbreviations for stainless wires.
