Brushtec Innovative Brush Technology

FLEXIBLE HIGH SPEED COUPLING. The future of brushes for floor cleaning machines depends on continuous innovation and development. Brushtec have always risen to the challenging demands of floor cleaning machine designers and have answered the call for a range of brushes and pad holders for all machine requirements. The flexible drive system is a product developed over the past twelve years and offers the following desirable advantages over standard brush and pad drive designs.

FLEXIBLE DRIVE INTERFACE. The unique dynamic energy absorption drive ring uses specially formulated elastomer polymers designed for continuous flexing and durability. The ring flexes as the brush or pad rotates providing a smooth, vibration free operation. Especially important when used on high speed machines. Ideal for uneven floors where vibration and machine wander was a problem. Tests were performed by major European manufacturers on both high and low speed machines. Results show significant improvements in controlling shock, vibration and noise. Because machines have variable weights and speeds, we offer several levels of ring stiffness. The Black ring has proven most popular and is ideal for the widest range of machines and working conditions. When used in conjunction with a pad driver, the flex system eliminates the need for foam backing which is expensive to manufacture and is liable to wear and delaminates in service.

LIGHTWEIGHT MOULDED DISK. Our mouldings use virgin high impact resistant PP which can give weight savings of up to 30% when compared to standard mouldings. This reduces energy wastage and motor stress which is the major cause of reduced machine life. The moulding process produces a disk which is perfectly balanced and this reduces vibration and operator fatigue. Standard disk diameters range up to 600mm and can be filled in a range of bristle qualities including synthetic, natural and abrasive filaments.

INDIVIDUAL COUPLING DESIGNS. Flex drive disks incorporate an individually designed moulded centre coupling. We manufacture the coupling using virgin, high impact nylon alloy which makes a strong durable coupling. If you have a cleaning machine problem we endeavour to solve it.

COMMITMENT TO PRODUCT QUALITY AND CLIENT SERVICE. Brush Technology set high targets for improving product quality and by working closely in design teams we achieve ideal solutions to all cleaning environments. Customer service is most important and by maintaining close working partnerships with our clients we are able to give the confidence and support that ensures continued product growth and development.
