Machine & Equipment Applications
Custom Trommel Screen Brushes
Custom cleaning brushes for mobile and stationary trommel screens. Made to drawing for bulk OEM and replacement orders.
Designed to clear screen apertures, reduce material buildup, and help maintain effective screening area in recycling and bulk-material processing.

How Trommel Screen Brushes Work
A trommel cleaning brush contacts the outside of the rotating screen drum and helps release material lodged in the apertures. The brush may be driven or may rotate through contact with the drum, depending on the machine design.
Effective cleaning depends on the brush outside diameter, screen-drum diameter, mounting centre distance, trim length, and working engagement. Filament stiffness alone cannot correct an unsuitable contact position or an incorrectly sized brush.
Screen Cleaning Applications
Trommel Screen Brush Applications
Trommel screen brushes are used where wet, fibrous, sticky, or soil-laden material can block screen apertures and reduce effective screening area.
Construction and demolition waste screening
For cleaning drums exposed to fines, soil, and adhering material.
Compost, soil, mulch, and wood-waste screening
For screen-cleaning positions where material can pack into apertures.
Fine-fraction screening
For applications where smaller apertures require consistent cleaning to maintain screening performance.
OEM and replacement programs
For new equipment builds or replacement brushes matched to an existing trommel screen.

Machine references do not guarantee fit. Brush dimensions, construction, mounting, and operating arrangement must be confirmed before production.
Custom Brush Formats
Trommel Brush Constructions We Customize
We review the brush construction around the actual machine layout and replacement interface.
Complete roller brushes with the required shaft, stub shaft, bushing, or bearing arrangement.
Spiral-wound or brush-coil constructions for installation on an existing shaft or core.
Machine-specific replacement assemblies, including wafer or ring sections where used in the existing design.
Drawing-Based Production
Built for OEM and Replacement Orders
Brush fill, stiffness, density, trim, core, shaft, and mounting details are confirmed for the screen surface and processed material. Nylon, polyester, PP, wire, and mixed fill are not interchangeable; the right direction depends on the screen media, aperture, material condition, brush position, and operating environment.
We support bulk customization and repeat supply for equipment manufacturers, distributors, and maintenance teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you reproduce an existing trommel screen brush?
Yes, from a detailed drawing approved for production. Machine make and model provide context, but brush arrangements can vary by model year, options, or later modifications, so they do not establish fit on their own.
Which filament is best for a trommel screen brush?
There is no universal material. The suitable fill depends on the screen media, aperture size, material moisture and fibre content, brush location, machine speed, and service environment. Share the application details for review.
Can a trommel brush prevent all screen blinding?
No. A cleaning brush can help clear material buildup at a specified position, but the result also depends on the screen design, aperture, material condition, feed rate, rotation, and machine setup.
Do you supply driven and free-running trommel brushes?
We can review both arrangements. Please show how the existing brush is rotated and provide the drive-end, bearing, shaft, or holder details. The rotation method must be confirmed before the replacement brush is designed.
