We develop and manufacture customized products, from small lots on up and ranging from ultra-small brushes with an outer diameter of 1 mm to oversized brushes more than five meters in length.

Surface Cleaning Brush for Aluminum Mill Roll

Brushes made from piano wire and a variety of other materials are used in removing foreign matter generated in the process of aluminum production. Our cleaning brushes for use in hot rolling have made us the most popular brand among aluminum manufacturers.

Spiral Roll Brush

Spiral roll brushes are suited for applications such as cleaning steel sheets. The spiral-shaped brush fillings provide completely even coverage in cleaning.

Patented

Triple-Spiral Brush

Used in cleaning steel sheets, these roll brushes feature three brushes filled in spirals that are spaced at equal intervals to minimize brush marks.
The brush portion of triple-spiral brushes has a greater tilt angle than single-spiral brushes, increasing the area of contact with the surface being cleaned. This provides more even cleaning, which also keeps brush marks to an absolute minimum. It also results in a more balanced rotation, which reduces the risk of wear on the core and facilities.

Helical Roll Brush

The brush portion is filled at an angle, creating a spiral pattern radiating symmetrically from the center of the brush, causing the brush to move foreign contaminants outward to the left and right as it rotates. This improves removal of foreign material from steel plates and other sheet products while enhancing cleaning power with more effective brushing.

Patented

Double Helical Roll Brush

These roll brushes feature a helical roll brush fill symmetrically arranged in double rows. This vastly reduces brush marks and enhances cleaning power with significantly improved removal and more efficient brushing.

Brush for Cleaning LCD Panels

We developed a specialized ribbon that evenly distributes ultrafine fill a mere 0.05 mm in diameter across the brush surface. Once the fill is inserted, the brushes are rinsed in pure water to remove impurities and minimize contamination during shipping. These brushes are widely used to clean precision products such as LCD panels and solar panel wafers that don’t permit even faint scratches. 

Deburring Brushes

We design custom brushes optimally suited to the customers' needs, with our wide selection of fills including abrasive nylon, wire, brass, and a variety of other materials.

Patented

Stainless Steel Stranded Wire Brush

These stranded wire brushes are made by twisting six stainless steel wires around a core wire of the same diameter, and then bending the bundle into a waved shape.
This design gives the brush a thick, springy base with fine tips that present minimal risk of scratching. These long-lasting deburring brushes exhibit superior strength, abrasiveness, and durability, yet are gentle on products.

Car Wash Brushes

We developed a special material featuring an M-shaped cross section for use in car wash brushes. The material effectively cleans and rinses off dirt and grime. The material is soft enough to avoid scratching the vehicle surface and retains its water-holding capacity even after extensive wear.

Providing customized brushes, starting with the fill shape design.

Kowa offers optimal fill materials to resolve the customer's issue, selecting from a wide variety of materials, including natural plant- and animal-based fibers, nylon and other synthetic fibers, metal wire, abrasive nylon, and more. We can also develop original fill materials in custom shapes.
