Catalog of brush cleaning designs

Six designs, each with a diagram, variants, and the dimensions a technical request needs. No product listings or prices: this is a reference site.

Complete brush cleaners

Complete belt cleaning units: what the assembly includes, drive and mounting options, and which dimensions to request from a manufacturer.

Roller (cylindrical) brushes

Roller brushes for conveyor belts: working and total length, outside diameter, core and seating, filament and its replacement.

Sectional brushes

Sectional brushes: sections mounted on a common shaft, layout along the length, replacing individual sections, and design limits.

Replacement brush elements

Replacement elements for brush cleaners: filament, holders, frames; how to check fitting dimensions before ordering.

Brushes for chevron belts

Cleaning chevron and profiled belts: ribs, profile pitch, and how the filament reaches the surface between ribs.

Made-to-measure brushes

Ordering brushes to customer dimensions: which measurements and data to include in a technical request so offers are comparable.

Comparing the designs

Broad differences between families — an editorial comparison, not technical compatibility.

What to measure before requesting

The minimal set of dimensions without which any offer will be imprecise.

  • Belt width and the cleaning zone along it.
  • Brush roller outside diameter and length, seating and bearings.
  • Core diameter and filament packing thickness.
  • Free space around the unit for removing and installing the roller.
  • Drive type and roller speed, if known.
