10 Things to Consider When Buying Disc Brush

Disc vs. Cylindrical Brushes 101

Floors scrubbers are available with both disc and cylindrical heads for use in a variety of applications. The disc scrubber is commonly found on smaller, walk-behind scrubbers and larger battery-powered rider scrubbers. These cleaners may use a disc pad to polish a floor or a hard-bristled brush for a more deep clean.

For cleaning, water is dispensed down into the center of the brush(es). These brushes sit flat against the floor at speeds of 250-300 RPM. The brushes are primarily intended to wash a floor or strip wax from a floor. Disc brushes can be made of a variety of materials, including nylon, polypropylene and abrasive bristle. The specific type depends on what type of floor is being cleaned. Regardless, these machines have no mechanism for picking up debris so floors must be manually swept before using this type of brush.

Cylindrical scrubbers are comprised of a pair of cylindrical brushes that turn in opposite directions at speeds between 600 and 800 RPM. Water is spread via a drip tray that sits in front of the brushes. The motion of the brushes throws loose dirt and particles into a tray that's emptied by the operator after cleaning is completed. This eliminates the need for pre-sweeping before scrubbing. Cylindrical brushes can be made from the same types of materials as disc brushes.

Abrasive Disc Brush Guidelines

Outer Diameter:  Overall diameter measured through the center of the brush from outside edge-to-edge

Arbor Hole:  Arbor Hole is mounted to a tool or drive arbor. Arbors are driven by the spindle and provide the necessary length for the tool to reach the workpiece. 

Drive Holes:  A drive arbor has pins that mount into the brush. The pins mount into the locator holes and serve as drive pins for the brush.

Filament Trim Length:  Length of Filament matters to performance and brush wear. For more flexibility choose a longer trim. For more aggressive brushing, choose a shorter trim.
