Rotary Brushes

At Meridian SubTek, we manufacture our own brushes. Every brush we make is custom designed for each institution’s specific application. All rotary brushes are constructed from a high impact polymer base and nylon bristles. The bristles are tied into recessed holes with stainless steel wire. Yes, finally no more broken or lost bristles! There is no plywood base to delaminate. Our high quality brush construction ensures a longer brush life span.

Depending on application and use, brushes have lasted 6 to 9 months under daily use.

Brushes are available in standard sizes of 6”, 8”, 10”, 12” and 14”. Custom sizes are also available.

Please contact our engineering department for your specific cleaning application.

SubTek also manufacturers brushes for use with non-SubTek equipment.
