ACC Brush Wheel Small 180 x 70 mm
The small ACC brush wheel at 180 x 70 mm, for the narrower brush position on an ACC rail. A stenter brush wheel presses the fabric selvedge down onto the pins as the cloth enters the rail. If the bristles are worn, too soft or the wrong grade for the fabric, the selvedge is not pushed fully onto the pins and the edge lets go inside the chamber.
Key Benefits
- Sized 180 x 70 mm for the ACC brush position, no shimming on the shaft
- Choice of six bristle types so the wheel suits your fabric and chamber temperature
- PBT bristle option for the hottest running positions
- Wheel body available in red, green and purple so bristle grades can be told apart on the shelf
Application Scenarios
- Narrow brush positions on ACC rails
- Secondary brush ahead of the main pinning point
- Mills holding both ACC wheel sizes
Who It Is For
- Finishing mills running ACC stenters
- Maintenance teams replacing brush wheels at the annual service
- Machinery dealers holding brush wheels for local mills
Problems It Solves
- Worn bristles failing to press the selvedge onto the pins, so the edge releases in the chamber.
- Bristle grade too soft for a heavy fabric, so the edge is never properly pinned.
- Brush wheels shedding tufts into the fabric and showing up as faults in the finished cloth.

Quality Control
- Outside diameter and bore gauged against the reference wheel before packing
- Bristle density checked by weight so one wheel is not softer than the next
- Glued bristle sets pull-tested so tufts do not shed into the fabric
- Wheels packed in matched sets so a whole rail runs the same bristle
Customisation Options
- Bristle type chosen for your fabric and chamber temperature
- Wheel body colour coded to the bristle grade
- Other sizes made against a sample wheel
How It Compares
| Compared With | What Changes |
|---|---|
| ACC big 220 x 158 mm | The main brush position wheel on the same machine. Measure both diameter and body width. |
| Monforts small 180 x 22 mm | Same 180 mm diameter but a much wider body at 70 mm. Not interchangeable. |
Fitting and Replacing This Part
Step 1
Stop the machine and let the wheel cool before removing it
Step 2
Note the running direction before pulling the old wheel off the shaft
Step 3
Fit the new wheel square to the shaft and check it runs without wobble
Step 4
Turn the rail by hand for one pass and check bristle contact along the pin row
Step 5
Change wheels in complete sets so brush pressure is even across the machine

Why Fabric Leaves the Stenter Narrower Than It Should
