This 120mm diameter, 800mm long PBT conveyor roller brush mounts across food processing conveyor belts to remove grease, protein film, syrup, crumbs, and adhered product film during rotation. Its 304 stainless steel core and quick-change coupling keep the brush stable in washdown areas and fast to swap when wear requires replacement.
What can this brush do for you?
Cleans the full belt width in one pass
The 800mm brush face covers typical food conveyor belt widths up to about 780mm, including the critical edge zones where carryback tends to build up. Rotating contact removes residue evenly across the belt surface instead of leaving streaks like a scraper or manual wipe.
PBT bristles hold their shape in wet, greasy environments
Polybutylene terephthalate does not absorb water or fats the way natural fibers do. The filaments keep their stiffness and trim length even after continuous contact with wet product residues, so the brush maintains consistent cleaning pressure throughout a production shift.
304 stainless steel core stands up to daily sanitation
The core resists corrosion from washdown water, food-grade detergents, and common sanitizers. No rust flakes or peeling coatings can contaminate the cleaning zone, which matters when the brush runs directly above or below product-contact areas.
Quick-change coupling cuts belt cleaning downtime
The brush is mounted on a shaft-ready coupling that lets maintenance teams remove and replace the entire roller without disassembling the drive shaft or adjacent conveyor components. A worn brush can usually be swapped in a few minutes, returning the line to full cleaning performance.
Controlled rotary scrubbing instead of manual labor
Continuous rotation of the 120mm O.D. brush produces uniform contact across the belt, removing soft residues that would otherwise harden into buildup. Drive speed can be matched to belt speed so the brush works with the conveyor motion rather than against it.
What is a 120x800mm PBT Food Conveyor Roller Brush?
A 120x800mm PBT Food Conveyor Roller Brush is a cylindrical rotating brush that mounts across a conveyor belt to clean the belt surface as it moves. The 120mm outside diameter is the overall dimension including bristle tips; the 800mm length is the working face that contacts the belt. PBT filaments are set into a 304 stainless steel core, and the assembly connects to the drive system through a quick-change coupling.
In a typical installation, the brush is positioned on the return run, at a head pulley, or at a dedicated cleaning station after product discharge. The bristle tips lightly contact the belt while the brush rotates, loosening grease, protein film, syrup, crumbs, and other adhered debris that would otherwise be carried back into the processing area. The removed residue falls into a catch pan or is rinsed away by a washdown system.
This is a driven cleaning component, not a hand tool. It must be aligned with the belt travel direction, with its rotation speed set relative to belt speed and the bristle-to-belt clearance adjusted for the residue type. The brush is intended for regular removal of soft, wet, or loosely adhered food residues. It is not designed to replace belt scrapers for heavy carryback or to remove baked-on, carbonized, or abrasive deposits.

Where does this brush work best?
The 120x800mm PBT conveyor roller brush is designed for food processing and packaging lines where belt hygiene affects product quality and sanitation compliance.
- Meat and poultry conveyors – removes protein film, fat, and grease from modular plastic belts before they harden and attract bacteria.
- Bakery and snack lines – cleans dough residue, crumbs, and sugar glaze from belt surfaces, reducing buildup that causes product sticking.
- Dairy and beverage operations – strips syrup, labels, and adhesive film from can and bottle rinsing conveyors.
- Produce packing lines – removes fruit wax, juice residues, and soil particles from flat or textured belts.
- Food packaging conveyors – lifts product film, label adhesive, and fine debris from belt edges and transfer points.
The brush also suits non-food sanitary environments such as pharmaceutical packaging or clean rooms where stainless steel and PBT are preferred for washdown compatibility.
How do I choose the right one?
Selecting or confirming this brush for your line requires checking a few fit factors beyond the 120mm x 800mm dimensions.
1. Belt width and brush coverage
An 800mm brush face should overhang the belt edge by at least 20–30mm on each side to clean the full carrying surface. If your belt is wider than about 760mm, you need a longer brush or multiple rollers mounted side by side. If the belt is narrower, the brush can still work, but edge bristles may contact side guides or frame components, so check clearance.
2. Residue and bristle stiffness
PBT is a medium-stiffness filament that handles grease, oils, syrup, and soft food residues well. For heavier protein deposits or dried sugars, choose a larger filament diameter (0.40–0.50mm) and a shorter trim length for more aggressive scrubbing. For thin, delicate belt coatings or modular plastic belts with fine texture, use a smaller diameter (0.30mm or less) to reduce belt wear.
3. Core and coupling compatibility
Confirm the coupling interface: shaft diameter, keyway or spline size, axial locking method, and rotation direction. The 304 stainless core is standard, but if your washdown uses chlorinated cleaners, brine, or high-salinity water, 316 stainless may be required to prevent pitting corrosion.
4. Environment and cleaning chemicals
PBT tolerates most food-grade detergents and sanitizers at typical washdown temperatures. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong oxidizing acids, hot concentrated alkalis, or continuous operation above 120°C. If your sanitation cycle uses steam above that temperature, a different bristle material may be needed.
5. Mounting and clearance
The brush should be positioned so bristle tips deflect only 0.5–1.5mm against the belt. Too little deflection misses residue; too much increases belt wear and motor load. The mounting bracket must allow fine height adjustment and hold the brush parallel to the belt surface.
When a different tool may be a better fit
If the belt carries heavy, large debris or thick carryback, a belt scraper should be used ahead of the brush. If residues are baked-on, carbonized, or contain abrasive particles like bone chips or sand, a metal wire or abrasive-filled brush may be needed. If the belt runs hotter than 120°C or is exposed to aggressive chemicals outside PBT’s range, consider a different polymer. For belts wider than 800mm, consider a segmented roller assembly.
Can I customize this brush?
Yes. The 120mm O.D. and 800mm face length are standard, but the design can be adjusted to your exact conveyor and cleaning requirements. To configure a custom brush, provide the belt width, belt speed, residue type, washdown chemicals, drive shaft details, and available mounting space.
Typical customization options include:
- Dimensions – overall O.D. (e.g., 100mm, 150mm), brush face length, core diameter, and core wall thickness for longer lengths.
- Bristle material and stiffness – different grades of PBT, food-contact rated PBT, color-coded filaments, larger or smaller filament diameters, and alternative polymers such as PP or nylon if the environment demands it.
- Bristle pattern – straight set, spiral wound, herringbone, or cluster patterns for specific debris removal.
- Core material – AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel, or polymer cores for metal-free zones.
- End fittings and coupling – shaft stubs, bore-and-keyway, flange mounts, or quick-change couplings tailored to your drive.
- Color and marking – natural, blue, white, or custom filament colors; laser marking on the core for identification.
- Packaging – bulk, individually packed, or palletized for OEM and replacement supply.

When is a 120x800mm PBT food conveyor roller brush worn out rather than just dirty?
How do I confirm the quick-change coupling fits my existing drive?
Measure the drive shaft diameter, keyway or spline dimensions, rotation direction, and the distance between bearing supports. Send us a drawing or a photo of the current mounting. We will provide a dimensioned drawing of the coupling side before production.
Can this brush run on both plastic and metal conveyor belts?
Yes. PBT bristles are suitable for both modular plastic and metal belts. For smooth metal belts, use a slightly softer filament configuration to avoid scratching the surface. For textured plastic belts, a medium stiffness usually gives the best residue removal without damaging the belt texture.
How do I know when the brush needs replacement?
Measure the outside diameter at several points along the brush face. Replace the brush when the effective bristle trim length is reduced by 30–40% from its original value, or when visible wear, matting, or broken filaments affect cleaning performance. Uneven wear may indicate misalignment and should be corrected before installing a new brush.
Is this brush safe for direct food contact surfaces?
The brush is intended to clean the conveyor belt, not to touch food directly. However, PBT can be supplied in food-contact grades, and 304 stainless steel is widely accepted in sanitary applications. If your auditor requires documentation, specify the food-contact grade and we will provide material certificates and compliance support.
Does brushing replace belt washing or scraping?
No. The brush removes loosely adhered residues, but a washdown system or scraper may still be needed for heavy solids or complete sanitation. Use a scraper ahead of the brush for large debris, and rinse the belt after brushing to remove loosened film.
Can I use this brush on an inclined conveyor?
Yes, as long as the mounting bracket allows the brush to contact the belt at the intended point and the bristle deflection stays within the recommended range. For steep inclines, check that the brush does not interfere with product or side guides during belt flex.
