What Is a Spiral Brush?

A spiral brush, also called a spiral roller brush, is made by winding strip-brush material around a shaft, core, or holder so its external working face follows a continuous helical path.

Open or close winding creates the contact coverage needed across a moving line, roller, or rotating assembly.

This page covers exterior spiral roller brushes for conveyor cleaning, washing, wiping, guiding, and controlled process contact. For internal bores and tube passages, use a pipe brush instead.

Spiral Brush Construction Options

Choose the winding density and band construction first. Core, shaft, and mounting details are then specified from the drawing for the installed roller.

Winding Density: Open or Close Wound

Open-wound builds leave a specified gap between helical rows. Close-wound builds provide denser, more continuous coverage across the working face.

Common Industrial Uses

For external contact on rollers, conveyors, and continuous-processing equipment.

Conveyor belt and chain cleaning

Remove loose material, dust, or carryback from conveyor belts, chains, and transfer equipment.

Spiral roller brush used for washing and wiping on a continuous processing line

Washing and wiping on continuous lines

Wash or wipe products and surfaces while maintaining contact across the travel path.

Product guiding and hold-down contact

Guide, separate, stabilize, or lightly restrain products during transfer or processing.

Spiral roller brush for controlled cleaning and surface conditioning on process equipment

Surface conditioning and cleaning

Use abrasive nylon or wire fill for controlled cleaning, light deburring, or surface conditioning where the workpiece allows it.

Filament, Wire, and Core Materials

Filament and body materials are selected according to contact force, surface sensitivity, moisture, chemicals, temperature, wear, and cleaning duty.

Nylon polyamide spiral brush with white synthetic filaments for washing and controlled contact

Nylon / polyamide (PA)

Polyamide is the nylon material family. Nylon is used for washing, wiping, conveying, and product contact. Food-grade options and fine filaments down to 0.05 mm are available; 0.05 mm nylon provides soft contact for glass cleaning and other sensitive surfaces.

Polypropylene spiral brush filament for wet cleaning and washing applications

Polypropylene (PP)

PP filament is commonly used for wet cleaning, produce washing, conveyor contact, and chemical-exposure applications where low moisture absorption and practical wear life are required.

Abrasive nylon

Silicon carbide or aluminum oxide abrasive nylon is used for deburring, conditioning, polishing, and surface preparation. Available grit selections include 80, 120, 180, 240, 320, 360, and 600, depending on the abrasive system.

Tampico and natural fiber spiral brush for soft polishing and surface handling

Tampico and natural fills

Tampico, horsehair, pig or boar bristle, and ostrich feather are available for softer polishing, waxing, dust removal, liquid retention, or antistatic surface cleaning.

Stainless steel wire spiral brush for strong industrial cleaning and surface conditioning

Steel, stainless steel, and brass wire

Metal wire provides stronger cleaning, scale removal, and surface conditioning. Heat-resistant metallic fills are available for selected furnace rollers, with application-specific configurations rated up to 1,250°C.

Spiral brush core, tube, and body material options for custom roller construction

Core, tube, and body materials

Roller bodies and mounting components can use stainless steel, galvanized steel, or brass according to the construction, shaft interface, load, washdown, and corrosion requirements.

Dimensions and Mounting Details

A dimensioned drawing, sample, or clearly marked photo is enough to start a replacement or new build. The diagram shows the main dimensions and winding details to mark when they matter to the fit.

FAQ

What is the difference between an open-wound coil brush and a close-wound spiral brush?

Open-wound builds leave more spacing between helical rows and are usually selected where debris release, washdown, or lighter contact is needed. Close-wound builds provide denser coverage and are usually selected where the process needs a more continuous brushing face.

Can spiral brushes be built from a drawing or sample?

Yes. Send a dimensioned drawing, sample, or marked photo. A drawing should show the finished dimensions, mounting interface, tolerances, material, and any other required markings.

Does winding direction matter?

Yes. Winding direction and helical lead can affect the direction of contact and material movement across the brush face, so they should be marked when they matter to the process.
