Staple-Set Cylinder Brushes

High-Performance Cylinder Brushes Built for Your Line

When your process needs continuous surface contact at speed, a custom cylinder brush is often the right tool for the job. Also known as rotary brushes, these rotating workhorses are used in everything from surface prep to wiping, polishing, and product handling.

At Carolina Brush, we engineer each cylinder brush to fit your machine, your application, and your performance goals—because an off-the-shelf brush won’t cut it in real-world production.

What Are Cylinder Brushes Used For?

Cylinder brushes are mounted on rotating shafts and deliver consistent, 360° contact with the surface or product. They’re ideal for:

  • Cleaning conveyor belts or parts in motion
  • Debris removal after cutting, sanding, or grinding
  • Applying or wiping liquids and coatings
  • Guiding or spacing product on moving lines
  • Buffing, polishing, or smoothing materials

Fully Customized to Your Application

Every brush we make is built to your specs—down to filament type, core material, rotation speed, and mount style. We’ll guide you through the design to make sure your brush performs consistently and lasts longer.

Available options include:

  • Filaments: nylon, polypropylene, abrasive grit, natural fibers, or wire
  • Core materials: steel, aluminum, plastic, or composite
  • Configurations: straight fill, helical wrap, staggered rows, or dense fill
  • Mounting: keyed shafts, drive hubs, or custom bore sizes
