Wöhler looks back on successful Interbrush 2016

The Wöhler Brush Tech team looks back on the Interbrush 2016, which proved highly successful for the company. Over 7,500 trade visitors from all over the world came to Freiburg, where they could experience the latest Wöhler innovations among other highlights.

The clearly structured machine portfolio went down particularly well with the visitors of this worldwide largest trade fair for machinery, materials and accessories for the broom, brush, mop and paint roller industry. Wöhler presented the very latest from the world of strip brush machines, power brush machines, twisted brush machines, street sweeper brush machines and paintbrush and roller machines on an impressive stand of over 500 m².

High speed and flexibility in strip brush machines

Along with the SBM 92, the world’s fastest strip brush machine with a production rate of up to 40 metres per minute and with a whole range of modules for individual strip brush production, the new strip brush machine model SBM Basic was presented to the public for the very first time.

The SBM Basic was of focal interest to many visitors. This latest machine concept makes the machine both interesting and lucrative to established strip brush producers and newcomers alike. The incredible production flexibility made possible with the SBM Basic and the accustomed high Wöhler machine quality simply fascinated the visitors.

Great interest in cutting of filament hanks

For many brush producers the cutting of filament hanks into the required bundles marks the first step in their production process. With the BC model range Wöhler presented the whole range of possibilities, from manual operation right up to fully automatic, NC controlled bundle cutter models. All bundle cutters share Wöhler’s patented cutting technology, which ensures both highly accurate cuts and exceptional service life. The demand for these machines was accordingly strong.

Fair debut in twisted knot brush production

Directly on the opening of the Interbrush managing director Matthias Peveling officially presented the twisted knot brush machine ZVA 322. With an enhanced performance of 200% this is the fastest twisted knot brush machine in the world. On average the ZVA 322 needs just 1 second per knot produced.

The world of power brushes held further surprises for the visitor. A first insight was given on the development of the new BSM 100. This mini brush segment machine is currently under assembly and will be presented to interested customers shortly. Machine specifications and initial results already kindled great interest among the clients.

The world of twisted brushes was able to present the MTI 960, an innovative fully automatic machine for the production of miniature twisted brushes, and the TIM 4, the world’s only fully automatic machine for brushes with 4 core wires. The automatic production process and direct trimming of twisted brushes with four core wires on the TIM 4 attracted a great deal of interest among the visitors.

Brush trimming an important aspect for all visitors

The trimming of brushes is an important production step for almost every brush producer and thus of great relevance. Here too Wöhler was able to present an exciting selection of machines with the universal trimming device TU 500 and FVT 1000. Both machines displayed the high quality and efficient trimming of wheel, cup and end brushes up to brush segments and rolls.

Wöhler awarded with “most informative stand”

The Interbrush 2016 was a great success for Wöhler. A whole lot of new visitors made their way to the Wöhler stand together with many familiar faces. A survey carried out with all visitors to the fair confirmed anew the high level of expertise presented by Wöhler at the Interbrush – the international audience voted Wöhler to the exhibitor with the “most informative stand” of the complete Interbrush fair. This was an award accepted by the Wöhler team with much pride and joy.
