Cylindrical Brushes in the Food Industry:
Industrial brushes are found in multiple applications in the food industry due to their ability to perform cleaning, polishing and dusting tasks efficiently and effectively.

Uses in Candy Manufacturing:
Cleaning of the raw material: prior to manufacturing, cylindrical brushes are used to clean the raw material, such as sugar, removing possible impurities or unwanted particles.
Shaping and polishing: during the shaping phase, cylindrical brushes shape the candies and polish their surface, ensuring a more uniform and attractive appearance. Caramels come in different shapes and sizes, so this is one of the most important procedures and thanks to it they get their shiny and flawless style.
Equipment and conveyor cleaning: these brushes are applied to clean conveyor belts, processing machines and containers that come into contact with the candies. This helps to maintain high hygiene standards and avoid cross-contamination.
Packaging: at the packaging stage, cylindrical brushes are used to clean trays, handling areas and surfaces where sweets are deposited before packaging, ensuring they are free of dirt or residues.
