A new cleaning system
Belt width and type, material — what is known and what to decide for a brush cleaning system.
Engineering reference
Brushes for conveyor belt cleaning
Brush cleaner designs, sizing parameters, verifiable calculations and a technical request form — no invented products or prices.
Start from the task
Replacing a brush roller
The roller is worn: take measurements and describe conditions so the new one fits without rework.
Roller or sectional
Compare the two designs on service and replacement, without assuming false compatibility.
Check the speeds
Estimate brush peripheral speed, belt speed from the pulley and the relative speed at contact.
Five tools
A selection assistant and four calculations with explicit formulas. Everything runs locally in the browser; input is sent nowhere.

Catalog of designs
Six brush cleaning families: purpose, variants, and the dimensions a request needs.
How the unit works
A brush cleaner touches the belt surface in a small contact zone; the result depends on geometry, filament and kinematics — not on a cleaner brand.
What to measure on the unit
- Brush roller outside diameter and core diameter.
- Working brush length along the axis and total roller length with bearings.
- Clearance between filament and belt in the working position.
- Roller speed and rotation direction relative to the belt.
Operating scenarios
Dry bulk, wet and sticky materials, chevron belts, roller replacement — what to check in each case.
