PRODUCT CATEGORY
Strip brushes create a continuous line of flexible contact. Depending on the application, that line may seal a gap, contain dust, wipe a moving surface, guide product or control static. Channel size, trim length and compression are therefore more important than treating every strip as the same brush.
Compare general strip brushes, seal strips, conveyor strips, food-processing strips, conductive or anti-static strips and specialty line-contact products.













A strip brush is a continuous line of fill held in a metal channel. Depending on where it is mounted, that line seals a gap, keeps dust in, wipes a moving surface, guides product or carries static away. The job decides the fill, the trim length and how far the strip presses into the gap.

The fill is folded over a wire and crimped into a U-shaped metal channel: galvanized or stainless steel, or aluminum such as 6061. The channel then slides into a holder or is screwed or clipped in place. Three numbers describe it: the channel size, the trim length that sticks out, and the overall length. Strips are cut to length, or the channel is wound round a shaft to make a cylinder brush. A strip in a holder is changed without replacing the holder.
Only a little. A door brush seal is usually set 10–25% into the gap, so the fill closes it where the gap is wide and flexes where it is narrow, without dragging. Too much pressure bends the fill into a set and the seal opens up. Nylon, PP or PBT suits most doors and machine openings; 316 stainless wire suits harsh outdoor thresholds and hot or abrasive openings.
It gives the charge on a moving web a path to ground. Conductive fill runs about 10³–10⁶ ohms and antistatic fill about 10⁶–10⁹ ohms; carbon fiber static eliminators have very fine tips that discharge the surface as it passes close by. In every case the channel must be grounded. An ungrounded conductive strip does little. Tell us the material, its speed and where the strip will mount, and the fill and the ground point are planned with it.
They keep powder and grain where it belongs. Strips close the gaps around chutes, dosing wheels, screens and enclosures, so dust stays inside. Hand brushes clear hoppers and screens. Where fine powder and dust could ignite, anti-static nylon is specified and grounded, under the site's own rules for dust and static.
Food conveyor strips use PBT, which stays stiff in hot washdown, on a 304 stainless channel. They wipe belts and seal hoppers, sifters and transfer points. Send the food-contact standard you buy to with the enquiry; food-contact testing is arranged per order, at the customer's cost.
They touch the product itself, so they are set lighter. In a sheet feeder, a strip holds back the sheet below the one being fed, or guides parts into line, so the trim length and stiffness are set to the weight of the sheet or part: PP or nylon, adjusted until single sheets feed cleanly. Instrument dusting strips sweep the strings, keys or body of an instrument and must never scratch lacquer, so they use soft goat hair or fine nylon at very low pressure. In both cases, send a sample or a description of what the strip touches, so the fill and trim are chosen for it.
Every strip and dust control brush here starts at 100 pieces per design.
Provide strip length, gap, compression, moving/static surface, dust or ESD requirement and environment. We can then size the strip around the actual contact.
