Metal-detectable nylon strip brushes with rigid backing have bristles that have been treated with a metal- and x-ray-detectable compound. This allows any bristles that fall off the brush to be found and recovered so that they do not contaminate the conveyed product. The brushes nylon bristles offer good resistance to wear and abrasion and are effective when used in wet or intermittently hot environments. Also known as metal-backed strip brushes, strip brushes with rigid backing each have densely compressed bristles that are secured in a U-shaped metal channel with a retaining wire. Each brush installs into a compatible holder to help maximize contact between the brush and conveyor when the brush is mounted. Metal-detectable strip brushes are commonly used to direct and separate items on a conveyor and clean debris from conveyed items and conveyor belts and parts in food processing and pharmaceutical applications. Strip brushes are mounted along conveyors to direct and separate items on the conveyor and clean debris from conveyed items and conveyor belts and parts. They are available with rigid metal or flexible plastic backings and can be installed in compatible brush holders for mounting. When the brush is worn, a new brush can be installed in the holder. Brushes with shorter bristle filaments are stiffer, making them suitable for more aggressive applications such as deburring and heavy cleaning. Brushes with longer bristles are more flexible and are a good choice for gentler applications like positioning light objects or dusting. These products are commonly used on conveying systems in warehouses, package handling areas, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers. They can also be used for non-conveyor applications such as a creating a barrier at the bottom of a door to keep out air, dust, or debris. This listing is for pkg. of 10.
