Conveyor & Production Line Brushes

A conveyor brush works as part of the line, so its job must be defined in motion. Some clean the belt, some remove dust from product, some guide or sort items, and others control powder at feeding points. The correct brush depends on contact direction, line speed and what must happen to the debris.

Which conveyor brush fits which line?

A conveyor brush either cleans the belt, sorts or guides product on it, or cleans what the product leaves on the machine. Start with which of those you need and what the belt carries.

How does a brush clean a belt?

A driven roller brush sits under the return side of the belt, just after the head pulley, and turns against the belt direction. Its tips strike the belt and flick fines out of the cover texture and from between cleats. On bulk belts it works behind a scraper blade, which takes the bulk of the carryback first. A drop chute or tray below the brush catches what it throws off.

A helical brush is wound in a spiral so the removed material walks to one or both edges of the belt. A straight-row brush throws it straight down.

Which fill suits which material?

How should a conveyor brush be set?

With even contact across the belt, usually 2–10 mm of engagement, and 5–15 mm of overlap beyond each belt edge. Too light and it skims; too hard and it wears both the belt and itself. Re-set it as the fill wears. Guard it, and lock out the conveyor before any adjustment. Long brushes are balanced so they do not shake the bearings and the frame.

What does a sorting brush do?

It moves product gently rather than cleaning a surface. On grain and seed lines, and on tablet and capsule lines, a soft roller brush turns, spreads or separates the product without bruising or chipping it. The fill, the speed and the gap to the belt are set to the product, so the brush is specified with a sample of what it will handle.

When should a conveyor brush be replaced?

When it can no longer be set to reach the belt evenly, or when the belt starts carrying back again after a re-set. Fill that has worn short, bent over or packed solid with material does not strike the belt any more. Rubber blades that have rounded off push rather than flick. Keep a spare on hand for belts that run every shift, so the change is a stop of minutes rather than days.

What do we need to make it, and what is the minimum?

Conveyor brushes are built to the machine: working width, diameter, core, shaft, bearing seats and drive. Send the drawing or the old brush, and the replacement is copied from it. Each conveyor and roller brush design starts at 100 pieces; the hand-held scale brush starts at 500.

What should you send for a quote?

  • Belt width and type, and what it carries.
  • Where the brush mounts, and the shaft, bearings and drive.
  • The job: belt cleaning, sorting, guiding or polishing.
  • Wet or dry service, washdown chemicals and temperature.
  • Quantity per design.
