Fifo Brush Industry has been dedicated to manufacturing a wide range of industrial brush rollers and brushes. Here, we provide an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of different production methods for industrial brush rollers.
Industrial brush rollers typically consist of a metal shaft, a brush filament attachment body (such as plastic or nylon tubes), and brush filaments. The processing steps include shaft machining, tube installation (casting), perforation, filament planting, and filament trimming. For specially shaped brush rollers where machine planting is not feasible, manual filament planting is used.
1. Direct Filament Planting
This is a traditional method in which nylon or abrasive filaments are directly planted onto the grinding roller.
Advantages:
- Strong durability.
- Short production and processing cycle.
Disadvantages:
- High production cost.
- The brush cannot be partially replaced, making it a less flexible option.
2. Nylon Sleeve
This method uses a nylon sleeve to hold the brush filaments.
Advantages:
- Simple production process.
- Has become the primary method for producing nylon filament brush rollers.
Disadvantages:
- If low-quality nylon is used, thermal expansion and contraction can cause the nylon to stretch. The ends of the nylon may protrude from the sanding roller, disrupting machine operation.
- This can lead to sleeve breakage, ruining the entire sanding process and rendering the roller unusable.
- The filaments are secured using saddle-shaped pins, which may lack firmness and are prone to shedding.
3. Aluminum Alloy Brush Roller: A New Generation of Brush Rollers
This method uses an aluminum alloy cylinder assembled into brush rollers.
Advantages:
- Allows for the customization of brush rollers in any length.
- High-strength aluminum alloy base enhances filament density and prevents filament shedding.
- Eliminates issues like nylon cracking and stretching.
- The roller body can undergo dynamic balance testing to ensure operational stability.
Disadvantages:
- High manufacturing costs.
- Requires skilled workers for production.
- Not suitable for producing industrial brush rollers with metal wire filaments.
