Food Processing and Manufacturing

Brush applications within food processing and production environments are vast and Tanis has expertise in supplying the best quality solutions for a range of industries including food manufacturers in produce, grain products, meats and dairy. Our brush products are an integral part in the automated machinery used for animal and meat processing; fresh, canned and frozen fruit and vegetable operations; and bakery, cereal and snack production and aid in maximizing throughput efficiencies.

Our standard and custom designed product offering includes brushes for sorting, scrubbing, polishing, defoliating, snipping, and peeling in produce or meat operations. Tanis brush assemblies are also used for equipment cleaning in bakery applications and screen cleaning in vegetable applications.

Brush applications in food processing are vast and Tanis has the experience to work with design engineers to provide the most suitable, cost-effective solution. Our rotary brushes are built tough to withstand the high-demand operations, abrasive use and rigorous cleaning required in the food industry. We also offer refurbishment services to provide a cost-effective alternative to replacements and extend the brush life and investment.

Our staple set brushes can be designed with a wide variety of sizes, filament patterns and materials. Soft bristles are ideal for gently moving more sensitive items, while more abrasive filaments work to scrub and polish. We work with equipment manufacturers to provide the proper brush type and style, and filament material and pattern.
