Hillbrush highlights brush manufacturing expertise

This, alongside its injection moulding capabilities, demonstrates that Hillbrush is a thriving British manufacturer.

Brushes custom-made for you

Hillbrush's in-house design and engineering team offers bespoke design capabilities using Solidworks CAD/CAM visualisations and prototypes, while its state-of-the-art tooling and brush manufacturing machinery means full product development, right here in the UK.

Hillbrush products are designed for customers' unique needs, whether for industrial, commercial, household, environmental, safety, transport, or military applications. Hillbrush can manufacture wood or plastic backed products, filled with natural, synthetic or a mixture of fibres to provide a unique sweeping performance. Hillbrush's in-house printing facilities can hot brand wooden brushes and pad print company names onto both wooden and plastic backed products. 

Tooling solutions

Hillbrush can provide a complete solution from initial concept through to finished product. Hillbrush works work closely with its toolmakers from the UK and overseas and, with a dedicated account manager, provides regular updates to its customers of progress throughout the project.

Trade moulding expertise

Hillbrush has made significant investment in its trade moulding operation in recent years with the introduction of two large 1,000 tonne injection moulding machines to its existing range. In total Hillbrush has 10 injection moulding machines ranging from 90 to 1,000 tonnes locking force which can accommodate moulded products from just a few grams up to 4.4 kilograms.

Each machine has its own gravimetric doser which can add in colour and/or additives such as antimicrobial, flame retardants and metal detectable masterbatches at a consistent rate. 

Hillbrush's large 1,000 tonne machines are fitted with pick and place robots and conveyors, and all of its machines are connected to an automated material feed system. Hillbrush has stand-alone material dryers for hygroscopic types, for drying plastic materials such as Nylon, Polycarbonate and A.B.S. Each machine has a tool temperature control unit for moulding engineering materials.

In addition, Hillbrush has recently unveiled a new warehouse at its manufacturing site in Wiltshire to support its increased manufacturing resource and capability.

For customers who may be experiencing quality or supply issues, mould tooling can be easily transferred to Hillbrush where the company works closely with customers to ensure a smooth transition from transfer to production.

In addition, thanks to Hillbrush’s warehouse investment, it can offer stockholding for regular product requirements. Simply place an annual order and Hillbrush will provide you with your products on a regular basis to ensure you receive goods on time and in full.

Hillbrush is certified to ISO 9001 and registered to the FEIBP (European Brushware Federation) Charter for Professional Hygiene Brushware.
