Unitech Brush Wheel 265 x 90 mm
Brush wheel for Unitech stenters at 265 x 90 mm. Unitech is an Italian textile machinery builder, and the wheel diameter is larger than anything in the German or Taiwanese ranges. 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 265 x 90 mm for the Unitech 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
- Unitech pin rails at the pinning position
- Italian-built finishing lines
- Mills sourcing Unitech parts outside Italy
Who It Is For
- Finishing mills running Unitech 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.

- 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 |
|---|---|
| ALKAN 225 x 90 mm | Same 90 mm body width, 40 mm larger diameter. Measure the diameter carefully. |
| EHWHA 240 x 180 mm | Larger body but smaller diameter. The two are not close enough to swap. |
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
