    Food Industry Tight-Seal Conveyor Strip Brushes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Conveyor Brushes. Food Industry Tight-Seal Conveyor Strip Brushes.
    Brushes are made of FDA listed materials so they can be used for food and beverage conveying. They have dense bristles that can dust, stop, and separate items on a conveyor. They also keep heat, sprayed liquids, and chips contained. Bristles are held in place by a binding wire. Use wire-cutting pliers to cut brushes to size. The larger the bristle diameter, the stiffer the bristles.

    Style B

    Made with metal and chemical additives, the bristles and handles on these hand brushes won’t get past metal detectors or X-ray machines in your food facility. This detectability helps you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. If hand brushes do come in contact with food, they’re FDA compliant.
    Stainless steel staples and a resin secure the bristles in these hand brushes, so they won't fall into your line. To prevent bacteria from growing, the resin seals out water and polyester bristles won't absorb water. From top to bottom, these hand brushes resist chemicals, so you can use them with harsh cleaners.
    Medium Bristle—Medium-bristle hand brushes are for light cleaning.

    A brush on one side allows you to scrub and dislodge debris. Assign bristle colors to different tasks or areas to avoid cross contamination. Neoprene blades resist oil, grease, and chemicals. Blades are two ply, making them good for uneven surfaces and for moving more liquid so floors dry quickly. Plastic frame resists chemicals. Fiberglass handle is hygienic.

    Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Scrub Brushes with Extended-Reach Handle

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Scrub Brushes. Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Scrub Brushes with Extended-Reach Handle.
    Clean hard-to-reach areas in pharmaceutical and food-processing plants—these scrub brushes have metal and chemical additives that set off metal detectors and show up on an X-ray if they fall into your line. Their brush block and handle grip are bright blue, so they’re easy to find and retrieve. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to make sure contaminated food doesn’t leave your plant. These scrub brushes are also FDA-compliant for direct contact with food.
    The bristles are secured to these brushes with stainless steel staples to keep them from falling into the food. To prevent bacteria growth, the crevices around the staples are covered with epoxy resin, and the bristles themselves don’t retain moisture. Chemical and temperature resistant, the bristles, as well as the plastic handle grip, stand up to harsh sanitizers and cleaners.
