Reconditioned Star Chopper Top & Bottom Strip Brushing Machines - 15" Dia x 6" Wide Brushes

Descripción

This matched pair of reconditioned Star Chopper strip brushing machines provides heavy-duty surface preparation capability for wide strip materials requiring aggressive cleaning and pre-bonding treatment. The set consists of one top brushing machine and one bottom brushing machine, ensuring complete surface contact and uniform cleaning on both sides of the material simultaneously. This top-and-bottom configuration is critical for applications where contamination removal and surface activation are essential to subsequent bonding or coating adhesion.

Each machine features a robust 15" diameter × 6" wide stainless steel brush driven by a 20 HP motor, providing substantial brushing force for removing scale, oxides, oils, and other contaminants from metal strip surfaces. The large brush diameter and significant motor power make these machines capable of handling thicker materials and high production rates typical in industrial surface preparation applications.
The stainless steel brush construction resists corrosion and provides long service life while delivering consistent surface finish quality. The 6" brush width accommodates a wide range of strip widths while the 15" diameter ensures excellent wrap angle and extended brush-to-material contact time for thorough cleaning action.

These heavy-duty brushing machines offer flexibility for both inline and offline surface preparation operations. In offline configuration, the substantial 20 HP motors and large brush dimensions allow operators to pre-process coil stock at optimal brushing speeds with multiple passes as needed. For inline applications, they can be integrated directly with bonding mills, laminating equipment, or coating lines for continuous processing workflows.

These Star Chopper machines have been professionally reconditioned to like-new condition, ensuring reliable operation and extended service life. Each machine includes spare parts inventory, providing immediate backup components and reducing potential downtime during operation. The reconditioned status offers proven surface preparation capability at a fraction of new equipment cost.

The machines are offered without electrical controls, allowing buyers to integrate modern control systems matched to their specific process requirements and existing plant infrastructure. This flexibility enables integration with variable frequency drives, PLC control systems, and process monitoring equipment as needed for either inline or offline operation.

Available for purchase separately to meet specific process line requirements or as a complete matched pair for full top-and-bottom surface preparation capability. The matched pair configuration is ideal for battery foil processing, aerospace surface preparation, pre-bonding cleaning operations, composite manufacturing, and any application requiring complete strip surface treatment on both sides simultaneously.
