Industrial brushes are invisible yet vital parts of the production line. However, simple mistakes in using these products can often reduce machine efficiency, damage surfaces, and increase production costs. Proper brush usage knowledge both improves quality and provides significant savings in the long run.
- Wrong Brush Selection
Error:
When choosing a brush type, only price or availability is considered. Brushes that are not suitable for the surface, machine, or application type are chosen.
What's Right:
Factors such as intended use, surface type, temperature, and chemical interaction should be analyzed when selecting a brush. Industry-specific brush selection directly impacts production efficiency.
- Inadequate Cleaning and Maintenance
Mistakes:
Brushes are repeatedly used without being cleaned after production. This not only reduces the brush's performance but also leaves residue on surfaces and causes burrs.
What's Right:
Industrial brush cleaning should be performed regularly; dust, dirt, and chemical residue trapped inside the brush should be removed. This extends product life and ensures hygiene.
- Using Excessive Brush Pressure
Error:
Applying excessive pressure to the brush in the hope of better cleaning or surface treatment leads to rapid deformation of the bristles and surface damage.
What's Right:
Each brush is designed for a specific contact force. Excessive pressure accelerates brush wear and can cause surface deterioration. Proper contact force maintains production quality.
- Incorrect Mounting on the Machine
Error:
Brushes are mounted or fixed without considering the machine dimensions. This causes vibration, imbalance, and poor performance.
What's Right:
When installing the brush, compatible dimensions, mounting points, and balance adjustment must be checked. Improperly installed brushes can damage the machine and pose a safety risk.
- Using the Brush for Purposes Other Than Its Purpose
Error:
The transport brush is used in cleaning, while the surface treatment brush is used in the food processing line. This results in short-lived and low-efficiency use.
The Right Thing:
Each brush should be used according to its function. Each brush used in a production line should be selected to meet the functional and hygienic requirements of that line.
