Examples of applications in metal working industry are deburring edges of metal cases, sealing equipment with brushes thus reducing noise, oiling as well as supporting and protecting metal components and many more.
In sheet metal working brushes are also used for the processing of burrs and edges and for surface treatment (e.g. grinding and finishing of sheet metal). The sensitive sheets can also be perfectly conveyed and protected by means of brush plates.

We offer antistatic brushes with carbon fibre or stainless steel yarn. An independent test proved that Obtuz antistatic brushes are the best among other things in conductivity and dimensional stability. superb quality.
Circular brushes are defined as brushes with a body length of up to 100 mm. The comprehensive range of dimensions, core materials, fill materials and fill configurations demonstrate the versability of Obtuz again and again.
Roller brushes Type 421 without a sub-body are defined as having a body length longer than 100 mm (for brushes shorter than 100 mm, see “Circular brushes”). The comprehensive range of dimensions, core materials, fill materials and fill configurations demonstrate the versability of Obtuz again and again.
We can produce flat-belt brushes in any length requested, open ended or endless. They are mainly equipped with natural hairs or bristles, plant fibres or synthetic bristles.
The brush cores are made of special reinforced polypropylene making them light, resistant to acids and alkalis and suitable for use in the food industry. The range of dimensions is extensive.
The ST-system above all is suitable for roller brushes fitted to a shaft or tubular core with journals made of steel or stainless steel (1.4301; 1.4541).
The bristles of strip brushes are fitted in a metal backing tape. This allows the brushes to be mounted by means of holders or inserted into grooves. For example, as replacements for special circular and roller brushes.
Our special types consist of 10 types of strip brushes with metal backing widths from 1,8 mm to 13,5 mm, which we can produce in a large range of variations.
Our sealing brushes are available in many forms and with a wide variety of profiles. These profiles can also be used as mounting flanges, for example in a self-adhesive design, or fixed by screws or by welding.
Our sealing brushes are available in many forms and with a wide variety of profiles. These profiles can also be used as mounting flanges. The special types consist of 11 types of sealing brushes which we can produce in a large range of variations on your request.
These types of brushes are particularly versatile in the way in which they can be mounted and in which they harmonise visually.
In addition to the versatility of 11 particular types of aluminium profiles they can be supplied anodized resp. plastic coated in RAL colours on your request.
Our special types of sealing brushes consist of 16 particular plastic profiles which we can supply in a comprehensive range of variations.
Obtuz strip brushes with metal backing tape have a big advantage over other brush constructions with rigid plastic bodies. This is because they can be formed to ring brushes with a diameter of 12 mm and with a bore of 5 mm up to the biggest diameter of 2.000 mm with an inward diameter of 1.000 mm.
As you are able to receive the strip brush with the fill facing outwards, it is no problem for Obtuz to produce the same brushes with the fill facing inwards. Even with these brushes you have a dimensional range that cannot be reached with any other brush construction.
The strip brushes in cup form are also an all-purpose brush type.
Our sealing brushes with steel profile can also be formed like the strip brushes. The dimensions range from a diameter of 40 mm to the diameter of 1000 mm and therefore cover a wide spectrum of applications.
The Quick Seal is a brush with a flexible character. The great advantage of the Quick Seal with regard to the brush strip is that the Quick Seal is made out of mouldable synthetic. Because of this, it can be used almost anywhere.
Obtuz disc brushes can be supplied with various fill configurations. For example with compressed face, with narrow or large fill collars, with fill array in particular forms, either with normal vertical bristle bundles or with inclined bundles to all directions.
We carry a range of standard moulded plastic cores with special bores resp. threads, which can be produced in large numbers.
Obtuz has a large range of moulded brush discs. These are used for various applications, namely, de-burring. For this, brush discs with nylon abrasive filling or wire are mainly used. The abrasive filling removes burrs that occur during production processes.
Back in 1931 the history of an inimitable brush began: Obtuz was already the patentee for this spiral brush with a double-sheet backing tape.
The DBS-Spiral roller brushes types 220 & 221 are extremely flexible in their dimension and depending on the required performance these endless spiral brush coils are mounted on core systems made of mild steel, stainless steel or non-ferrous metal.
Our roller brush coil designed as welded package system will also pack the tiger in your tank! Why is it reasonable and advantageous to purchase a welded package system type 231?
A further variation of the “Throw-Away” system is type 230. It consists of continuously wound DBS-spiral brushes fitted to a thin walled steel, stainless steel or non-ferrous metal tubular shaft.
The long period of development of this brush type has left its mark and appears in every detail of the brush. The STS-spiral coil is the only brush type that can be produced with very small diameters.
A very interesting aspect of our STS-spiral coils is the type with inverted fill material that is used, for instance, for polishing, descaling or removal of corrosion off rods or wires in a continuous operation.With an outside diameter of only 20 mm it is possible to reach an inner diameter of zero.
The STS-spiral roller brush range contains all measurements from small to extra large and this unbeatable selection of diameters makes this brush a totally reliable tool for light brushing tasks.
The Obtuz roller brush type 350 is one of our “highlights” as it consists of a lightweight aluminium core with horizontal grooves where strip brushes are fitted in.
Type 964 is made of single section brushes mounted together on a core up to the required face width. This roller brush type can be mounted on cores made from stainless steel, plastic coated steel or mild steel.
Interior brushes are suitable for drilling machines, flexible cables and machining centers and are reliable tools for the deburring of O-ring grooves and bores. Furthermore they are used for cleaning, smoothing and derusting purposes.
For hand use with extension rods or power driven flexible shaft and bench machines. Tube cleaning brushes are suitable for drilling machines, flexible cables and machining centers. They are reliable tools used for tube cleaning and the removal of rust and scales.
Honing brushes are elastic, flexible brushing tools. At the bristle tips they hold globules made from bonded abrasives. This special construction enables the tools to deburr cross-holes and also to improve adherence of lubricants.
Cup brushes with or without shaft are allround brushes used in angle grinders and machining centers for removal of varnish layers, scales and corrosion; also ideal for the treatment of welds and paling-board cleaning.
End brushes are normally used in electrical- and pneumatic tools, i. e. in the car body and motor construction and all fields of car repair and maintenance.
Bevel brushes are a great mixture of cup- and circular brushes which were developed by us especially to work edges and corners in hardly accessible operation areas.
The RECORD with crimped wire fill is suitable for deburring, cleaning, smoothing, polishing, dulling, paint stripping and roughing. The twist-knotted ULTRA for treatment of welding seams, descaling and removal of varnish.
The whole energy of the treatment on a few milimeters. Single-section brushes from Obtuz are ideal for that. Being narrow, aggressive, robust and most versatile, small work pieces can exactly be treated and profiled surfaces be cleaned, derusted and matted.
When it comes to the highest possible density fill Obtuz SH-circular brushes are unbeatable. They are most versatile due to a multitude of fill material qualities and different bore diameters make them applicable in different working widths. They are especially suitable for roughening and deburring as well as to remove rust and paint.
Pipeline brushes are “most wanted” for welding preparations on oil-, gas- and water pipelines in construction. We especially produce single section pipeline brushes for operations at the fillet welds and roots of seams. If the wires are embedded in an elastic synthetic material they are extremely aggressive and durable.
