The Differences Between Knotted Wire Wheel Brush And Crimped Wire Wheel Brush

As an indispensable cleaning and processing tool, wire wheel brush plays an important role in the manufacturing industry with its excellent performance and wide range of applications. As two common industrial wire wheel brushes, knotted wire wheel brush and crimped wire wheel brush have some significant differences in structure, applications and performance.

Differences in structure and brush filament material

The brush filament of knotted wire wheel brush and crimped wire wheel brush are made of carbon steel, stainless steel and other metal materials. These materials have excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance to suit the clean processing process in industry. However, the differences between the two in structure determines the differences in their application fields.

1. Knotted Wire Wheel Brush*

The brush filament of knotted wire wheel brush is fixed on the brush wheel through a special knotting process to form a number of small clumps or "knots". This design makes the brush filament more durable, able to withstand greater working pressure and wear. The top third of the brush filament may be slightly open, and this design further enhances its cutting effect and durability. Knotted wire wheel brush usually has a larger diameter and a thicker brush filament to adapt to heavy load work requirements.

2. Crimped Wire Wheel Brush

The brush filament of crimped wire wheel brush is fixed on the brush wheel by crimping process, which maintains a certain elasticity and toughness, and can better adapt to the complex and fine surface processing requirements. At the same time, the crimped design helps to absorb vibration and reduce fatigue and breakage of the brush filament during operation. The filament arrangement of crimped wire wheel brush is more tightly ordered, and a more delicate and uniform brush surface can be formed to ensure the uniform contact between the brush filament and the workpiece surface.

Differences in applications

1. Knotted Wire Wheel Brush

Knotted wire wheel brush is widely used in heavy industry, such as oil fields, ships, heavy machinery manufacturing, etc. In these areas, some cleaning work need to quickly remove surface dirt, rust, paint and other heavy loads, and heavy duty wire wheel brush with its powerful cutting ability and durability become the tool of choice for these cleaning work.

In the manufacture and maintenance of the ship, knotted wire wheel brush is used to remove the old paint and rust on the hull surface; In heavy machinery manufacturing, it is used for surface pretreatment and deburring of metal parts.

2. Crimped Wire Wheel Brush

Crimped wire wheel brush is more used in industries that require fine processing and polishing, such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, hardware processing, etc. These industries have high requirements for processing accuracy and surface quality, and rotary stainless steel wire wheel brush meets these needs with its fine and uniform brush surface and good vibration absorption performance.

In automobile manufacturing, crimped wire wheel brush is used for fine polishing and deburring of engine cylinder block, crankshaft and other parts; In the aerospace field, it is used for surface treatment and cleaning of aircraft parts.
