# Conveyor Brush System

The ION Conveyor Brush System is a customizable solution for creating wide to narrow intake brushes that adapt to a variety of game pieces.&#x20;

The 24in brush can be cut to any length using a bandsaw or hacksaw, allowing teams to fine tune coverage and stiffness for their intake or conveyor design. The nylon bristles are firm enough to control and center objects, yet flexible enough to accommodate irregular shapes or soft materials. Shortening the brush increases bristle stiffness, giving teams a simple and reliable way to tailor brush behavior to the task at hand.

### Resizing

Each brush contains a steel spine that supports the bristle segments. When trimming the brush to length, pinching the cut end of the outer steel channel ensures the internal rod and bristles remain securely captured

### Mounting

The brush segments mount to either of the two dedicated hubs: a 1/2in hex version that holds up to three brush segments, or a MAXSpline version that accommodates up to six.&#x20;

Both hubs include zip tie holes that wrap around the brush to secure it firmly and allow the assembly to rotate smoothly on its shaft.
