WIRE BRUSH MACHINE
for Aluminum Sheet Texturing

Dual stainless steel brushes apply a scratch finish texture on aluminum sheets to produce that "brushed aluminum" look.

SYNONYMS

Aluminum brush texturizer, wire brusher, scratch finisher, scratch brush, aluminum scratch finish brush machine, or brushed aluminum surface finisher.

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION

The Union Wire Brush Machine is designed to put a scratch finish on aluminum sheets. The machine incorporates two stainless steel brushes to obtain the desired brush finish. Along with the appropriate number of hold-down rolls there is a perforated belt to hold the thin sheets flat as they pass under each wire brush.

There is also a high-volume blower to pull a vacuum through the perforations at each brush area. A brush on the offbearing side removes static from the sheet as it leaves the machine. Each brush is adjustable vertically to allow for various thicknesses of material.

The brushes are driven by a 10 H.P. motor while the conveyor and vacuum system are each driven by a 1 H.P. motor.
