150mm PEEK Steam Cleaning Brush

A 150mm PEEK Steam Cleaning Brush is a hand-guided industrial cleaning tool with a replaceable rectangular brush head made from PEEK (polyether ether ketone) filament. The 150mm head is set into a 316 stainless steel base and threads onto a 500mm-long stainless steel handle. The brush is designed for cleaning hot equipment with steam, hot water, or chemical solutions, where ordinary polymer filaments would soften and metallic brushes would be too aggressive.

In use, steam or cleaning solution loosens the deposit, and the PEEK filament scrubs the loosened material from the surface while the operator controls the handle from a safe standoff distance. The brush works on both wet and dry high-temperature surfaces, and the filament geometry can be configured for flat trim, angled edge, or contour following depending on the surface shape.

This is not a burnishing or heavy derusting tool. It is intended for loose contamination, films, process residue, and scale that has already been partially loosened by steam or chemical action. For hard bonded scale, carbon, or weld spatter, a steel wire or abrasive brush remains the more appropriate contact material.

The 150mm length refers to the brush head’s working face, not the total tool length. Total working length is about 650mm when the standard 500mm handle is assembled. Heating of the handle is limited by the stainless steel material and the length of the handle; the operator should still use an insulated grip or glove for continuous contact with hot workpieces.

The operating temperature rating applies to the filament. Handle and connection materials must be reviewed for the actual process environment, especially chloride-containing steam or acid vapors, before locking the specification.

• Machine frames, housings, and guarding that are steam cleaned at the end of a production shift and carry oil, cutting chips, and residue.
• Injection molds, dies, and tooling that are cleaned while still hot, where plastic residue and release agents must be removed without scratching the cavity surface.
• Food, beverage, and dairy processing lines that use hot water and steam washdown; PEEK filament tolerates repeated hot wet cycles and cleaning chemicals.
• Printing, coating, and converting machines where ink, adhesive, and oil accumulate on rollers, doctor blade areas, and heated surfaces.
• Glass handling and precision component cleaning where the contact must be firmer than a nylon brush but less aggressive than a wire brush.
• Boiler or heat exchanger access openings where loose soot and scale must be brushed from accessible surfaces.

Four checks decide whether this 150mm PEEK steam cleaning brush fits the job: temperature, residue, surface sensitivity, and access.

• Temperature. Confirm the actual surface and steam temperature, not just the machine set point. The PEEK filament is rated to 260°C continuous. Above that, or in direct flame, choose a metallic or ceramic alternative.
• Residue. PEEK removes loose chips, oil, dust, soft films, and scale that steam has already loosened. Hard rust, heavy scale, burned-on carbon, and weld spatter require a steel wire or abrasive brush.
• Surface sensitivity. On polished metal, glass, or coated surfaces, select finer PEEK filament or a softer trim. On rough castings or structural surfaces, thicker, stiffer filament and higher density improve cleaning speed.
• Access. The standard face is 150mm x 60mm rectangular. If the area is narrower than 60mm or includes deep recesses, a narrower or contoured head should be specified. If the surface is wider, multiple brushes in a holder may be more efficient than a single hand brush.

Handle length and connection come next. The 500mm handle keeps the operator away from the hot surface, but longer handles reduce control. For extended reach, a custom handle length or a machine-mounted holder with the same threaded head may be the better configuration.

The 150mm x 60mm head and 500mm handle are the default configuration, but the brush is normally adjusted to your cleaning station. To define the custom version, provide the actual surface temperature, cleaning chemical or steam specification, access dimensions, surface material, residue type, and preferred handle length and thread.

• Head geometry — face length and width, head profile, trim angle, contoured face, multi-row arrangement
• Filament — diameter, density, trim length, PEEK grade, carbon-reinforced option for added stiffness, filament shape
• Base and connection — 316 SS standard, alternative stainless or alloy grades, thread size and pitch, quick-release, bayonet, fixed welded head, machine mounting flange
• Handle — length, grip diameter, straight or ergonomic shape, knurling, hanging loop, insulated or overmolded grip section
• Marking and identification — engraved part number, logo, color-coded collar or band on handle, laser marking
• Packaging — bulk cartons, individual poly bags, labeled industrial packs, VCI paper for corrosion protection during transit

If your cleaning process requires material declarations, inspection records, or third-party testing for the PEEK filament or stainless components, we can support those project requirements during customization.
