From standard brush configurations to highly engineered application-specific designs, our team works closely with customers to develop brush solutions that improve performance, increase durability, and support long-term operational reliability.
Industrial Brush Solutions for Every Application
Whether you’re sealing out contaminants, controlling airflow, reducing vibration, guiding materials, or protecting critical components, Felton provides engineered brush solutions designed around your specific performance requirements.
Staple Set Brushes
Reliable Performance for Versatile Applications
Manufactured by securing filaments into a base material using a staple-set process, staple set brushes offer excellent durability and design flexibility.
Felton works with customers to determine the optimal filament type, density, trim length, and brush configuration to ensure consistent performance and long service life.
Common applications include:
- Surface cleaning
- Material handling
- Sealing and containment
- Debris removal
- Component protection
- Guidance systems
Metal-Backed Brushes
Durable Solutions for Demanding Environments
Metal-backed brushes provide exceptional strength, stability, and wear resistance in challenging industrial applications.
Our engineering team can customize brush density, filament and backing materials, backing profiles, and mounting configurations to meet precise application requirements.
Benefits of metal-backed brushes include:
- High-strength construction
- Excellent wear resistance
- Long service life
- Custom lengths and configurations
- Adaptability for sealing, guiding, and protection applications
Flexible-Backed Brushes
Adaptable Sealing and Protection Solutions
Flexible-Backed Brushes can conform to curves, irregular surfaces, and complex geometries, making them ideal for applications where traditional rigid brush designs may not be suitable.
Felton’s flexible-backed brush solutions are engineered to balance durability, flexibility, and performance for demanding operating environments.
Applications include:
- Environmental sealing
- Dust and debris control
- Gap management
- Equipment protection
- Noise and vibration reduction
Hand Crafted Brushes
Precision-Crafted Solutions for Specialized Applications
Some applications require a level of customization and craftsmanship that automated manufacturing alone cannot provide.
Felton’s hand crafted brushes are individually manufactured to meet unique performance, dimensional, and application requirements. This process allows our team to produce specialized brush configurations for low-volume production, complex geometries, prototype development, and applications requiring meticulous attention to detail.
Common applications include:
- Prototype and low-volume production
- Complex or irregular brush geometries
- Specialized sealing applications
- Restoration and replacement brushes
- Unique industrial equipment
- Custom engineered brush designs
