Industrial brushes made by John Gray.

Seven core ranges, with dimensions, materials and fill patterns adapted to the application.

Most enquiries start with a demand or need.

A machine build has been commissioned and the machine requires a brush, your imported machine supplier has no stock of the brushes, the replacement brushes need some tweaks.

Bring us the old brush or a diagram. We will work with your specifications to provide you with the required brush solution.

Machine, Drill, fill, trim

The manufacturing sequence controls how the finished brush meets the surface.

1. Machine

We manufacture to specification; we machine the inner and outer diameters of a core.

2. Drill

The drill pattern determines the density of the brush – patterns can be straight, staggered or spiral.

3. Fill

The application of the brush determines the type and thickness of bristle required.

4. Trim

The shorter the bristle trim, the firmer the brush; the longer the trim, the softer the sweep.
