FLEX-GUARD BRUSH SEALS

flexible custom
brush seals are
the
result of Memtech’s many years of Brush Seal and Weather Seal
brush technology. Our earliest brush seal efforts began as
experimental work in alternative oil seals for the automotive
industry. We later found a serious need for industrial brush door
seals as factory and office energy conservation and as a weather
seal in pest control for food processing plants and warehouses.
Flex-guard continues to provide high quality brush seals that will
fit every industrial brush seal need and will always either meet or
exceed expectations
When
we entered into brush seals for machine and tool applications, we
saw a need for a completely separate branch of the business. We
named it Flex-Guard. Though brush is one of the oldest
‘technologies’, it has a rather amazing facility to solve problems
that no other material will.

There is nothing we know of, that can seal tightly over irregular
surfaces, stay completely flexible and yet remain more durable and
versatile. The latter feature refers to the fact that the bristle
component can be any of dozens of diverse materials, depending on
the requirements; such as anti-static brass, corrosion-resistant
stainless steel, silicone free and several compounds of plastic. In glass enclosed
revolving doors, for instance, the only material that would not
scratch the glass in extended use, was horsehair! No semi-rigid
seals could solve that enigma – only brushes. Flex-guard
and our customers
have developed many effective and easy ways to utilize FLEX-GUARD flexible
brush products. |
We maintain an inventory of a broad range of
brush and mounting brackets and styles with varying lengths and stiffness of
nylon and polypropylene bristles. These stock products are available in six foot
lengths and can easily be cut to length as needed. In addition, Flex-guard can
bend or form these standard brushes into the special shapes you need for the
application and we can make internal and external rings and coils and provide
special trim shapes if needed. When quantities get large enough for a special
manufacturing setup, considerable cost savings and even more design flexibility
is possible. Flex-guard has eight sizes of stock brushes from as small as 1/10
inch (.100") wide and 1/2" (.500") wide and 48" high. With more than 20 bristle
trim lengths, we can provide the best standard brush to effectively and
economically solve your application need. If we don't have a stock product
suited to your requirement, Flex-guard has the capability to manufacture exactly
the right FLEX-GUARD brush for the job.
Here and in future updates, we offer what may well be the answers
YOU need in brush seals and weather seals. |
