Heavy-Duty Tube Brushes for Cleaning Chem-Set Holes

Proper hole preparation is critical for a strong chemical anchor bond, and our Heavy-Duty Tube Brushes are designed specifically for this task. Whether you’re anchoring bolts, reinforcing structures, or securing heavy-duty fixings, cleaning the hole thoroughly before applying ChemSet adhesive ensures maximum strength and durability.

Why Use Our Tube Brushes?

Durable Construction – Made with stiff Polypropylene fibre and a Galvanized Wire twisted stem for long-lasting performance.
Effective Cleaning – Strong bristles remove dust, debris, and contaminants for a clean bond surface.
Three Sizes Available – Covering most standard hole diameters used in chemical anchoring.
Reusable & Cost-Effective – Built to withstand repeated use without compromising performance.

Description:

  •  12mm Dia Tube Brush – 320mm Long (Green Loop) suitable for Tubes 8mm-12mm
  • 16mm Dia Tube Brush – 320mm Long (Red Loop) suitable for Tubes 10mm-16mm
  • 28mm Dia Tube Brush – 320mm Long (Blue Loop) suitable for Tubes 16mm-28mm

How to Clean Chem-Set Holes with a Tube Brush

  1. Blow Out Loose Debris – Use compressed air or a hand pump to remove dust and loose particles from the drilled hole. Insert the nozzle fully and blow air out while withdrawing.
  2. Brush the Hole – Insert the tube brush to the full depth of the hole, then rotate and move it in and out several times to loosen dust.
  3. Blow Again – Use compressed air or a hand pump again to remove the loosened debris.
  4. Repeat the Process – For best results, follow the blow-brush-blow method at least three times to ensure the hole is completely clean.
  5. Final Inspection – Visually check that the hole is free from dust before applying ChemSet adhesive.

This process ensures a strong, reliable bond, reducing the risk of failure in your anchoring application.

Industrial Brush Suppliers

 

Picking the Right Brush: Tips from Your Local Industrial Brush Suppliers

As designers, manufacturers, and industrial brush suppliers, the team at Busy Bee Brushware know better than anyone how overwhelming choosing the right brush can be. Whether you’re using it for cleaning, manufacturing, or construction, your job calls for a specific kind of industrial brushware. With 35 years of experience as industrial brush manufacturers, Busy Bee Brushware has learned a thing or two about selecting the ideal industrial brushes for your job. Here are a few tips on choosing the perfect brush for your project.

Choosing the Right Size

Our industrial brushes come in all shapes and sizes, so you must understand how big you need your brush to be. If you need a particular custom length, Busy Bee Brushware is your go-to brush supplier. We specialise in providing premium-quality custom orders delivered to you in no time at all. When thinking about your brush, make sure to consider;

  • Length. If you’re buying a tube brush, the length encompasses the head of the brush down to the end of the handle. If you’re purchasing an industrial brush strip, it will mean the length of the brush itself.
  • Diameter/width. Depending on your application, you may require a tube brush, industrial roller brushes, or spray suppressant strips. Each of these brushes has a specific width or diameter that will affect the application of the brushes.
  • Shape. Are you after a cylindrical brush? Or perhaps a round brush? The body of your industrial brushes will all depend upon their intended use, so make sure you know what your job requires.
  • Attachments. Some brushes will be simple, handheld designs using wooden, plastic, or metal handles. Other times, however, the brush is designed to be attached to a machine, vehicle, or door. You need to ensure the attachments you have are appropriate for the brush’s intended use.

Choosing the Right Bristles

Some brush bristles are gentler than others, so pick your bristles based on the job for which you need industrial brushes. Busy Bee Brushware, your local industrial brush suppliers, have a vast range of bristle types available, so you’re spoilt for choice.

  • Metal brushes: Brass, steel, and copper are all included under metal brushes. These brushes are for scouring or burnishing.
  • Synthetic brushes: Normally used in household and commercial cleaning, synthetic brushes are often made from plastics, nylon, or polypropylene.
  • Natural fibre brushes: Organic fibre brushes are typically for the cleaning of very sensitive areas, such as computer towers and electrical parts. They’re often made of horsehair, bamboo, or other organic materials. (please remove bamboo, add Tampico and add baffine)

Choosing the Right Functionality

Industrial brushes are surprisingly versatile, so if you let the team at Busy Bee Brushware know what you’re trying to accomplish, we’ll be able to help you find the ideal brush. We have brushes to cater for a massive range of jobs, including:

  • Metal finishing
  • Cleaning
  • Deburring
  • Defusing (not why this is included)
  • Attachment to conveyor belts
  • Washing
  • Welding
  • Glazing
  • Painting

Wire Tube Brush

The Do’s And Don’ts of Wire Tube Brushes

Busy Bee Brushware has been supplying wire tube brushes to homeowners and businesses around Australia for over 35 years. In that time, we’ve learned a lot about the versatility of the wire tube brush, and we’ve become specialists in the design, manufacture, and sales of the handy little brushes. That’s why we decided to develop a handy little guide to help you select the best wire tube brush for you.

The Uses of Wire Tube Brushes

We make wire brushes from a variety of metals, including steel, brass, tin, copper, and bronze. Here are a few handy applications of wire brushes.

  • Steel wire: These brushes tend to be quite aggressive and are ideal for heavy-duty brushing applications. Busy Bee Brushware recommends steel wire tube brushes if you need to do any deburring or cutting. Stainless steel is a popular choice in Australia, as the metal fair pretty well in our temperamental weather conditions.
  • Brass wire: Brass is a bit gentler than steel, but is still great for industrial applications. They’re perfect for cleaning, applying satin finishes, and reducing static. Brass wire tube brushes are popular because they are corrosion-resistant.
  • Tin wire: People typically purchase tin wire brushes for deburring and decarbonising applications. (this one needs to be stainless steel wire)

When to Avoid Using Wire Brushes

It’s important to remember that a wire tube brush is an abrasive brush. They are designed for cutting, cleaning, deburring, grinding, and finishing, so there are quite a few instances in which you should avoid using a wire brush.

  • If you’re not wearing PPE. Wire brushes can be sharp, so gloves and other appropriate PPE should be worn when handling them. Even if wire tube brushes aren’t being used to cut or grind, like in the case of a bristle gutter guard, gloves should still be worn to prevent injury or accident. (could put in wire scratch guard)
  • If you’re working with delicate materials. Depending on the metal, wire brushes have the potential to scratch or damage the material’s surface. Steer clear of glass, ceramics, and tile with most wire brushes.

We call them Tube Brushes but these brushes are often called Spiral Brushes or Twist in Wire brushes, bottle brushes or pipe brushes.

Why Brass Wire?

Brass wire is softer than steel or stainless steel wire and are great for applications where you do not want to scratch other surfaces.  They are resistant to rust and corrosion. Our Tube Brush in this range is made with crimped Brass wire twisted into galvanised steel twisted wire.  The thickness of the crimped brass wire filament is increased incrementally from small to larger diameters to provide a stiffer bristle brush suitable for  a wide range of applications. These brushes are for manual use.

Uses:

  • Satin or luster finishing
  • Surface cleaning
  • Burnishing
  • Polishing
  • Deburring
  • Material removal

Your tube brush is manufactured with a brush face of approx. 125-150mm and a 300mm Handle.  The overall length of the Tube Brush will be maximum 450mm.  As these brushes are hand-made there can sometimes be small discrepancies in the measurement of the brush face, but the overall length will be maximum 450mm with a looped end for easy hook storage.

Brass Wire Brushes

Everything You Need To Know About Brass Wire Brushes

If you have to clean objects with hard to reach places, you can’t go past brass wire brushes for efficiency and straightforward use. Brass is much softer than steel or stainless steel wire, so a brass bristle brass is ideal for more delicate surfaces. Resistant to rust and corrosion, brass wire brushes are an incredibly durable alternative to most other industrial brushes. At Busy Bee Brushware, we’re huge fans of the versatility and effectiveness of the brass tube brush, so we thought we’d put together a handy guide on everything you need to know about brass wire brushes.

The Many Uses of Brass Wire Brushes

At Busy Bee Brushware, we manufacture wire brushes in varying sizes to suit a vast range of applications. The smaller the diameter of the brass wire filament, the gentler the brush. The larger the diameter the stiffer the bristles and more sturdy the brush. You can use a brass tube brush for:

  • Satin or lustre finishing
  • Surface cleaning
  • Burnishing
  • Polishing
  • Deburring
  • Material removal

Frequently Asked Questions about Our Brass Wire Brushes

Busy Bee Brushware has been around for over 35 years, and in that time we’ve had a fair few questions about our brass wire brushes.

  • What is the best extension rod to use with boiler tube brushes? We recommend our professional chimney rods, polypropylene rod with brass fittings, and ½” BSW thread. It can be screwed end to end for longer lengths. You’ll also need to purchase a UA1 brass adapter which has the ½” BSW fitting.
  • Can a brass bristle brush be used for coffee roaster flues? We have a professional Coffee Roasters Flue Cleaning Kit available, which contains brass brushes ideal for this application!
  • What do I do if I need a stronger rod? We have professional chimney rods ideal for larger brass wire brushes. However, you’ll need the universal adapter UA1 to attach the chimney rod to the tube brush.

Choosing the right brush?

Generally, it is best to match the brush to your application. Brass wire creates no spark and is best suited to use on brass and copper surfaces. It can also be used on steel, stainless steel, aluminium, iron, plastic and wood.  A Steel Boiler Tube brush should be used for ferrous metal tubes. We also have a range of nylon tube brushes, plus we can custom manufacture a brush to suit your needs. Small run production is our specialty.
