Meeting your requirements from
Start to Finish
Schlegel specializes in producing entire copier, printer
or reprographics cleaning brushes from end-to-end. We tailor the brush design
for the specific cleaning function it must perform. The fabrics used in these
rollers are generally developed for their individual applications and are
generally specific to a given printer or copier model.

Available to fit any type of shaft, these rollers are
typically used to clean photoreceptor drums and the belts in toner-based
printers and copiers. The result is a brush that cleans developer toner or
chemical solutions from hard or soft surfaces.
Characteristics
The basis of
Schlegel's capabilities is our knowledge of textiles, the various materials and
processes that can be used to produce fabrics. If a material can be spun into a
filament or a thread, Schlegel can weave it into a fabric. It is possible to
blend two or more fibers, as well as blend monofilament and multi-filament yarns
to achieve desired performance. Our engineers specify fiber length, pile density
and pile height to satisfy criteria such as stiffness and cleaning action.
Fabric quality and performance are maintained at the manufacturing stage by
careful manipulation of tension, uniformity of yarn speed and synchronized
weaving motions. The result is total process control, and an unrivaled level of
pile fabric uniformity and consistency.
Schlegel can blend and enhance fabrics and yarns in a
variety of ways in order to meet application requirements. Spiral wind
manufacturing processes consist of rolling fabric on long cores of either
cardboard or phenolic materials, our newest process includes small metallic
cores. The adhesive systems include double backed tape, liquid adhesives or
pressure sensitive hot melts. Once the cores have been wound, and the adhesives
allowed to cure, they are cut to their finished length and staged for the
appropriate finishing operations: stapling, endcapping, steaming, combing,
shearing and comparing.
Finally, all brushes are individually packaged in
specially design cartons that protect the pile fabric of the brush from being
contaminated or crushed during shipment. Schlegel can also construct strip
brushes by attaching pile fabric to roll-formed metal or plastic backings.
Applications:
- Cleaning copier toner from selenium, cadmium sulfide,
zinc oxide and organic photoreceptive surfaces
- Transport belt and paper feed roller cleaners
- Dust removal from equipment using magnetic tape
- Large diameter rollers (typically 70mm) with a low pile
density, used at high impact speeds
- Small diameter rollers (typically 15 to 30 mm) with
highly conductive filaments used at low rpm Very dense, small diameter rollers
that act as toner disturber components, facilitating blade lubrication
- Abrasive brushes for cleaning offset plates in "plate
processors"
- Rotating cleaning systems for print head cleaning (on
impact printers, for example) or for audio and video equipment: CD-ROMs, VCRs,
audiocassettes, etc.
