Custom Cleaning Brush
Mixed Brush
Mixed Brush concentrates edge, face, or tip contact on mixed contact surfaces, adjacent edges, and mounting features for mixed cleaning and maintenance. Diameter, face width, fill, trim, and tool interface are selected around grinding residue, polishing compound, and glaze and the finish the surface must retain.
Product Features
Combined Bristle Materials in One Working Face — Soft and firm filaments can be blended to balance cleaning strength, surface protection, and debris release.
Two Cleaning Actions Can Be Integrated — A mixed head may dust and scrub, clean and polish, or guide and wipe without a separate tool change.
Zoned Fill Targets Different Areas — Materials can be arranged in rings, rows, or sections so edges and center areas receive different contact.
Material Selection Follows the Surface — Natural hair, nylon, PBT, abrasive filament, wire, or sponge is combined only when each component is compatible with the workpiece.
Handheld and Machine Forms Available — Mixed fill can be built into discs, rollers, strips, wheels, and detail brushes.
Custom Blend and Layout — Material ratio, zone pattern, trim, density, body, hub, and mounting can be developed around the required sequence.
Product Overview
For Mixed Brush, the direction of contact is selected first: edge contact for narrow profiles, face contact for broader surfaces, or end contact for localized recesses. On mixed contact surfaces, adjacent edges, and mounting features, the fill should remove grinding residue, polishing compound, and glaze without using unnecessary pressure that would deform the filament or alter the finish. The mixed working face must reach the complete residue path while the holder remains clear of the part.
Key dimensions start with Brush head diameter 80–300 mm and Brush head length 10–80 mm. The structural layout follows the polishing buffing wheels category. The specified interface is arbor-hole mount / flange. Nylon PA are the principal material directions in the current specification. For machine-driven use, confirm the shaft or hub, available clearance, rotation direction, and customer-supplied speed.

Application Areas
Mixed Brush is primarily mapped to Glass Surface Cleaning. Before applying the brush to another process, verify the surface, the route for removed debris, and the final finish target.
- Mixed Brush is best suited to glass, stone, ceramic, tile, resin, composite, and decorative-surface grinding, texturing, cleaning, and polishing.
- The buffing wheel, polishing cup, disc, block, flap, or textured finishing brush follows flat glass, edges, stone slabs, ceramic faces, resin-bond surfaces, and patterned panels while the fill displaces grinding residue, polishing compound, glaze, oxide, dust, and texture marks.
- Use this configuration when the available access supports face or edge contact that carries compound or produces a controlled surface texture.
Selection Guidance
Structure fit
Match the polishing buffing wheels geometry to mixed contact surfaces, adjacent edges, and mounting features, the available access, and powered operation. Confirm Brush head diameter 80–300 mm and Brush head length 10–80 mm against the complete working envelope before finalizing the brush.
Contact material
Choose from Nylon PA according to the behavior of grinding residue, polishing compound, and glaze, the surface sensitivity, and any wet, chemical, temperature, or hygiene requirements. Do not choose stiffness from the material name alone. Filament size, free trim, and density control the final contact.
When to use another solution
For Mixed Brush, use another cleaning method when grinding residue, polishing compound, and glaze cannot be released by controlled filament contact, when mixed contact surfaces, adjacent edges, and mounting features cannot tolerate the selected contact material, or when the access path prevents safe engagement and residue removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should Mixed Brush be selected?
Start with glass, stone, ceramic, tile, resin, composite, and decorative-surface grinding, texturing, cleaning, and polishing, flat glass, edges, stone slabs, ceramic faces, resin-bond surfaces, and patterned panels, and grinding residue, polishing compound, glaze, oxide, dust, and texture marks. Then set Tool outside diameter, Active face width, and Abrasive grade, choose the fill from the material and residue table, and match the mounting interface and operating condition.
Which dimensions define Mixed Brush?
The primary dimensions are Tool outside diameter (80–300 mm), Active face width (20–160 mm), and Abrasive grade (24–3000 grit). 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 Mixed 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 Mixed Brush not the best cleaning method?
Mixed Brush is not the first choice for bonded abrasive wheels, belts, pads, lapping, or vibratory finishing for tighter stock-removal or flatness control.
What information is required to quote Mixed Brush?
Send the part or machine drawing, photos of flat glass, edges, stone slabs, ceramic faces, resin-bond surfaces, and patterned panels, Tool outside diameter, Active face width, Abrasive grade, and Tool thickness, the residue description, wet or dry conditions, motion or use method, temperature, preferred Nylon PA, quantity, and the existing interface or sample.
