The Wöhler Brush Tech, a world-renowned machine manufacturer for the production of technical brushes, uses plain bearings from the igus® product range at many bearing points – for good reasons.
The use of technical brushes ranges from professional dental care, painting and polishing and even street sweeping. These not only differ in size and origin of the bristle material (including extrusions, synthetic fibers, but also natural horse or pig bristles), but also in their design. In addition to flat brushes, there are segmented, round, strip and knot wheel brushes – and each brush type has its special uses.
Renowned worldwide as a specialist machine builder
Independent of size, bristle type and brush type, many manufacturers of technical brushes throughout the world use machines made by Wöhler Brush Tech GmbH from the Westphalian city of Bad Wünnenberg. There are good reasons for this: Wöhler has been active in the brush industry for more than 75 years. The company provides a comprehensive system spectrum for manual or automated brush production that covers the entire process sequence – starting from injection molding (for bodies and fastening elements) and extrusion (for the bristles). Because the machines are completely modular in their design, they can be customized to specific requirements. This ensures reponsive engineering processes. Based on customer need, fast production speeds can also be realized: With a system that produces 60 flat brushes per minute, Wöhler holds the inofficial "world record" for brush production performance capabilities.
