A strip brush is a real all-rounder. Strip brushes are ideal for sealing doors and gates, wiping systems, polishing, cleaning, sealing or even slowing down unit loads on transportation systems. The seamless, dense filling makes the strip brush an all-rounder. The shape of a strip brush is virtually unlimited and is tailored to the respective application. Due to the frequent use of strip brushes for sealing doors or gates, the strip brush is also known as a door brush, door brush seal, broom strip for doors or door brush. Stainless steel wire brushes are used on doors and gates to repel mice and other rodents. Strip brushes are predominantly used in a straight form for grooving or with a profile. In addition to these standard designs, strip brushes can also be supplied coiled as roller brushes in a cup shape, in a ring shape, with trimming on the inside or outside. With our brush designer, you have the option of customizing your strip brush.
Areas of application
Door seals - Sealing doors and gates
Strip brushes are ideal for use as door seals and gate seals. They are therefore often referred to as door brushes or gate brushes. They are attached to the bottom of the door as a door bottom seal. Strip brushes keep out dirt, draughts and insects. Strip brushes are particularly suitable as door seals as they are impermeable to dirt, dust and insects.
Stripping of machine systems
In industry, strip brushes are often used for wiping and cleaning machine systems and reliably remove chips, dust and other processing residues. Both standard strip brushes and brushes in special designs (e.g. ring-shaped) are used here.
Close off cable outlets so that they are opaque
Strip brushes are used where moving cables or ropes need to be laid. They are a popular means of creating an opaque seal for cable apertures in office furniture and commercial interiors.
Sealing roller shutter boxes
Strip brushes are used to seal roller shutter boxes to keep out small animals, insects and draughts. They also prevent rattling noises by quietly guiding the slats through the roller shutter outlet.
Brush frame for diffusers
“We frame you” – strip brush profiles can be manufactured in such a way that a frame is created from the individual elements. The brush frames can be used for wiping, cleaning or protecting sensitive surfaces of workpieces or machinery.
Protective brush frames - outside trim
“We frame you” – strip brush profiles with outer fill. This brush frame variant can also be used for wiping, cleaning or protecting sensitive surfaces of workpieces and machines.
Stainless steel brushes to repel rodents
Strip brushes with stainless steel wire trimming secure openings and gaps against mice and other small rodents. Mice cannot bite through the wire. The filament is an insurmountable obstacle for any rodent.
Strip brushes with large fill heights
Strip brushes with extremely high fill heights can also be manufactured.
The strip brush in the picture with a total height of 550 mm is used to cover a large ceiling gap.

Strip brush in spiral form

A spiral brush is a coiled, rolled-up strip brush with a constant diameter. The fill of the spiral brushes can be on the inside or outside. Spiral brushes with external filaments can be attached to a core. The rotation of the spiral brush with external filament produces a lateral sweeping or scraping movement. This movement of the spiral brush enables effective cleaning of surfaces.
Spiral strip brushes with internal filaments enable the cleaning, wiping or gentle guidance of rods, screws and other objects. Spiral brushes can be wound closed, wound open or wound to any desired pitch.
Strip brush in cup shape

The cup-shaped strip brush is a brush that is curved in a circle. The strip brush is bent in a circle. The brush fill is aligned in such a way that it resembles the wall of a pot. Cup brushes are used in industry for polishing, wiping, cleaning or sealing.
The fill depends on the respective application, dimensions are freely selectable.
Strip brush in ring shape

The strip brush in ring form is a circularly curved brush. The strip brush is bent into a circular shape. The brush fill can be fitted either on the inside or outside. Strip brushes in a ring shape are used in industry for cleaning, wiping or sealing. The fill depends on the respective application, the dimensions are freely selectable.
Rubber lips in retaining profile

Instead of strip brushes, rubber lips in aluminum profiles can be used for the highest sealing requirements. The rubber lips are available in h-profile, F-profile, y-profile or u-profile. The trim height of the rubber lips is 20 mm.
Trimming material (bristles)
Strip brushes are available in numerous variants. In addition to different sizes, different fill materials are required for the various possible applications. Here you will find an overview of the properties and possible applications of the available brush fillings, which you can select yourself. An overview of the fill materials and their properties can be found here. You can define the dimensions of the strip brush, frame and back width and other specifications yourself, simply use our form.
