Custom Cleaning Brush
Sorting Brush
Sorting Brush provides controlled brush contact for sorting, grain, and tobacco across product beds, rollers, and screens. Working width, brush geometry, mounting, and fill are set around the machine path and the way chaff, fibers, and dust must be released or carried away.
Product Features
Flexible bristles guide and separate products on a conveyor — Strip or roller contact controls spacing without rigid impact.
PBT, nylon, or polypropylene can match product sensitivity — Filament stiffness is selected for delicate items, wet service, or firmer guidance.
Angled or spiral fill changes product direction — Tufting can move items laterally, space them, or maintain a defined path.
Open bristle layout avoids trapping small products — Density and row spacing can be set around the product size.
Replaceable strip or roller section supports maintenance — The working element can be renewed without changing the complete conveyor frame.
Built to the sorting line — Working width, roller diameter or strip profile, filament, trim, pattern, shaft or channel, and mounting can be customized.
Product Overview
Sorting Brush is used where repeatable contact is needed across product beds, rollers, and screens rather than isolated hand cleaning. The active brush face clears chaff, fibers, and dust while the holder, shaft, plate, or hub stays outside the interference path and supports the required working width. The brush must move, separate, polish, or clean product without trapping material or damaging the process surface.
Key dimensions start with Brush head diameter 10–150 mm and Brush head length 50–2000 mm. The brush uses a roller and conveyor structure to maintain contact along the required working width. The specified interface is shaft-mounted / fixed. PBT, Nylon PA, and Polypropylene PP are the principal material directions in the current specification. Confirm the equipment model, shaft or hub interface, and actual operating speed; the brush does not use a universal speed rating.

Application Areas
Sorting Brush is primarily mapped to Industrial Machine Cleaning. Before using this brush for a new application, check the workpiece surface, debris path, and required finish.
- Sorting Brush is best suited to product sorting, aligning, diverting, spacing, and gentle transfer on automated lines.
- The strip, wheel, plate, carbon-fiber, sorting, or coating brush follows tablets, capsules, packages, components, containers, and conveyor products while the fill displaces misaligned items, loose dust, fragments, and rejected product.
- Use this configuration when the available access supports timed line contact on films, sheets, cartons, seals, jaws, rollers, or product lanes.
Selection Guidance
Structure fit
Match the roller and conveyor brush geometry to product beds, rollers, and screens, the available access, and powered operation. Confirm Brush head diameter 10–150 mm and Brush head length 50–2000 mm against the complete working envelope before finalizing the brush.
Contact material
Choose from PBT, Nylon PA, and Polypropylene PP according to the behavior of chaff, fibers, and dust, the surface sensitivity, and any wet, chemical, temperature, or hygiene requirements. The material name does not fully describe stiffness. Filament size, free trim length, and density complete the specification.
When to use another solution
For Sorting Brush, use another cleaning method when chaff, fibers, and dust cannot be released by controlled filament contact, when product beds, rollers, and screens cannot tolerate the selected contact material, or when the access path prevents safe engagement and residue removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should Sorting Brush be selected?
Start with product sorting, aligning, diverting, spacing, and gentle transfer on automated lines, tablets, capsules, packages, components, containers, and conveyor products, and misaligned items, loose dust, fragments, and rejected product. Then set Working width, Brush diameter or trim height, and Filament diameter, choose the fill from the material and residue table, and match the mounting interface and operating condition.
Which dimensions define Sorting Brush?
The primary dimensions are Working width (50–2000 mm), Brush diameter or trim height (10–150 mm), and Filament diameter (0.05–0.50 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 Sorting Brush?
The primary options are PBT, Nylon PA, and Polypropylene PP. The final choice follows surface sensitivity, residue adhesion, wet or dry use, temperature, chemicals, conductivity, and required cutting action.
When is Sorting Brush not the best cleaning method?
Sorting Brush is not the first choice for air, vacuum, ionization, scraper, non-contact sensor cleaning, or roller wiping when filament contact disturbs the web.
What information is required to quote Sorting Brush?
Send the part or machine drawing, photos of tablets, capsules, packages, components, containers, and conveyor products, Working width, Brush diameter or trim height, Filament diameter, and motion or use method, the residue description, wet or dry conditions, motion or use method, temperature, preferred PBT, Nylon PA, and Polypropylene PP, quantity, and the existing interface or sample.
