Coil Brushes
Continuous Brushes for Continuous Performance
Coil brushes are formed from a continuous metal channel strip tightly wound around a mandrel to create a durable, flexible brush. They’re ideal for cleaning, polishing, deburring, and sealing curved or rotating surfaces — anywhere the brush needs to follow a contour or wrap around a cylinder.
At Carolina Brush, we manufacture coil brushes in both continuous lengths and custom-cut sections, using a wide range of filaments and core materials to match your process requirements.
Where You’ll Find Coil Brushes
Coil brushes are used in manufacturing and maintenance environments that require smooth, consistent brushing action on round or irregular surfaces. Common uses include:
Custom Coil Brushes Built to Fit Your Process
We custom-engineer coil brushes in almost any diameter, pitch, and density — from tight helical wraps for precision cleaning to large, open coils for flexible sealing or wiping. Whether you need a full-length continuous coil or pre-cut sections for replacement, we’ll design it to your specifications.
Inverted vs. Outside Coil Brushes
Coil brushes can be configured in two primary ways depending on how they interact with your equipment. Outside coil brushes apply brushing action on the exterior of a part or surface and are commonly used for cleaning, wiping, polishing, or sealing around rotating shafts, rollers, or moving components. Inverted coil brushes, on the other hand, are designed to work from the inside out—making them ideal for internal cleaning, deburring, or surface conditioning of tubes, pipes, and cylindrical openings. Selecting the right configuration ensures proper contact, consistent performance, and longer brush life in your specific application.
