Metal Grip Strip Brushes
Strip brushes are used for a variety of industrial applications.  Grading, smothing, flow control and dust barriers are a few examples of uses for strip brushes. 
Our strip brushes are made with either steel or stainless steel backing, and can be filled with natural, synthetic and steel filaments that range from .003" up to .090".  Currently, we are able to make our brushes with .5", .875", and 1" channel strip wide before brush formation to accomodate varying sizes of strips and filaments.  We can manufacture overall trim lengths from .375" up to 24". 
Also available is our extruded aluminum holder that fits our .875" (#7) channel, and comes in three varieties for correct positioning.  Choose from inline ("h" style), perpendicular/right angle ("F" style), or double holder.
