Custom Cleaning Brush
Fan Brush
Fan Brush is built for rotary face, edge, and localized surface cleaning where the brush must enter or follow flat faces, edges, and recesses. Head size, working length, stem flexibility, and fill are selected to loosen dust, burrs, and oxide without losing access or control.
Product Features
Fan-shaped bristles spread contact over a wider tip — The head reaches corners, blind bottoms, and broad detail areas.
Flexible edge follows contours — The fill adapts to curved or irregular surfaces.
Nylon filament can be tuned for soft dusting or firmer detail cleaning — The fan width and trim determine how the edge contacts the surface.
Hand, tube, end, and applicator forms — The fan profile can serve cleaning, dusting, and application.
Compact body reaches confined areas — The stem or handle remains narrow.
Built to the task — Fan width, thickness, trim, fill, stem, and handle can be customized.
Product Overview
Fan Brush uses a working section shaped around the available opening, depth, and internal profile. It contacts flat faces, edges, and recesses to remove dust, burrs, and oxide; the access path and minimum clearance determine whether the brush needs a rigid stem, a flexible extension, a tapered head, or a stepped cleaning section. Diameter, arbor or plate interface, manual use method, filament projection, and contact width must match the powered or passive rotary setup.
Key dimensions start with Brush head diameter 3.2–50.8 mm, Brush head length 25–127 mm, and Handle length 152–406 mm. This configuration uses a tube-brush layout to reach inside bores, ports, and passages. The specified interface is threaded removable / fixed. Nylon PA are the principal material directions in the current specification. Handle length, neck shape, and head size should support comfortable control and avoid excessive contact pressure.

| Variant configuration | Fan Brush: tube construction with Nylon PA fill for rotary face, edge, and localized surface cleaning on flat faces, edges, recesses, profiles. |
Application Areas
Fan Brush is primarily mapped to Tube & Pipe Cleaning. Before applying the brush to another process, verify the surface, the route for removed debris, and the final finish target.
- Fan Brush is best suited to tube, pipe, bore, hole, thread, cannula, housing, membrane, and internal-passage cleaning.
- The twisted-in-wire, flexible-rod, pull-through, fan-tip, or powered bore brush follows internal wall, thread, blind hole, cross hole, taper, pipe, membrane housing, and narrow cavity while the fill displaces scale, rust, chips, burrs, oil, coolant, deposits, powder, and biological residue.
- Use this configuration when the available access supports radial filament contact inside a bore, tube, hose, channel, nozzle, or drilled passage.
Selection Guidance
Structure fit
Match the tube & pipe bore brush geometry to flat faces, edges, and recesses, the available access, and manual operation. Confirm Brush head diameter 3.2–50.8 mm, Brush head length 25–127 mm, and Handle length 152–406 mm against the complete working envelope before finalizing the brush.
Contact material
Choose from Nylon PA according to the behavior of dust, burrs, and oxide, the surface sensitivity, and any wet, chemical, temperature, or hygiene requirements. Material is only one part of stiffness; filament diameter, exposed length, and density must also be confirmed.
When to use another solution
For Fan Brush, use another cleaning method when dust, burrs, and oxide cannot be released by controlled filament contact, when flat faces, edges, and recesses cannot tolerate the selected contact material, or when the access path prevents safe engagement and residue removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should Fan Brush be selected?
Start with tube, pipe, bore, hole, thread, cannula, housing, membrane, and internal-passage cleaning, internal wall, thread, blind hole, cross hole, taper, pipe, membrane housing, and narrow cavity, and scale, rust, chips, burrs, oil, coolant, deposits, powder, and biological residue. Then set brush diameter, Brush section, and Overall length, choose the fill from the material and residue table, and match the mounting interface and operating condition.
Which dimensions define Fan Brush?
The primary dimensions are brush diameter (3.2–50.8 mm), Brush section (25–127 mm), and Overall length (152–406 mm). Also provide the minimum clearance, working envelope, trim or engagement, and the existing holder, shaft, stem, thread, or handle.
Which filament or contact material is used for Fan Brush?
The primary options are Nylon PA. The final choice follows surface sensitivity, residue adhesion, wet or dry use, temperature, chemicals, conductivity, and required cutting action.
When is Fan Brush not the best cleaning method?
Fan Brush is not the first choice for pigs, flushing, ultrasonic, chemical descaling, blasting, or a flexible cable system for long, sharply curved, or heavily scaled passages.
What information is required to quote Fan Brush?
Send the part or machine drawing, photos of internal wall, thread, blind hole, cross hole, taper, pipe, membrane housing, and narrow cavity, brush diameter, Brush section, Overall length, and Filament diameter, the residue description, wet or dry conditions, motion or use method, temperature, preferred Nylon PA, quantity, and the existing interface or sample.
