Bottle brushes

The industrial bottle brush is a crucial cleaning and maintenance tool used by a wide range of professionals, including plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration engineers.
Available in various materials and diameters, it covers a broad spectrum of cleaning and finishing applications.

Rubix offers a diverse selection of high-quality, durable models to meet your technical needs.

Types of Bottle Brushes and Their Uses
General Features
Bottle brushes are typically handle-mounted tools with a cylindrical or conical head.
They are indispensable for technical cleaning and precision surface finishing.

They are used for cleaning, dust removal, descaling, polishing, and deburring of internal surfaces, even in hard-to-reach areas.
Materials include nylon, steel, brass, stainless steel, and natural bristles.

Types and Applications
Rubix supplies a wide range of brush types, each adapted to specific tasks:

• Condenser brush: Made with twisted galvanized steel wire and a threaded brass tip, it’s ideal for cleaning, derusting, and dusting condenser coils in HVAC and refrigeration systems. Its slim format fits narrow tubes.
• Descaling brush: Designed for scrubbing and removing residue from difficult-to-reach areas, often used in duct maintenance.
• Cleaning brush: Features galvanized steel wire and a spiral filling, suitable for internal wall and thread cleaning.
• Deburring brush: Similar to the cleaning brush but optimised for deburring drive components, grooves, intersecting holes, and cylindrical surfaces.
• Heavy-duty cleaning brush: Constructed with a steel twist and bristles in steel, brass, stainless steel, or nylon, it’s ideal for tube cleaning and wall descaling.

Bottle Brush vs. Test Tube Brush
A test tube brush typically has a simple loop at the end, while an industrial bottle brush features a threaded metal ferrule for secure attachment.

Rubix also offers a wide selection of other industrial brushes, including circular brushes, if you need more options.

How to Choose the Right Brush
When selecting the correct industrial brush, consider the following parameters:

• Diameter: Must match the size of the element to be cleaned
• Bristle material: Nylon is best for delicate surfaces
  Stainless steel is ideal for stubborn residue or rust
• Brush length: Determines reach
• Additional features: Flexibility, corrosion resistance, etc.

Common Use Cases for Industrial Bottle Brushes
These brushes are designed for efficient removal of dirt, lime scale, residue, and rust—all of which can impair the performance of machinery or cooling systems.

Applications include:

• HVAC system maintenance
• Cleaning of condensers in industrial refrigeration systems
• Boiler cleaning
