What is the difference between a hygienic tube brush and a standard industrial tube brush?
Hygienic tube brushes are designed for applications where sanitation and contamination control are especially important, such as food processing and food service environments. Justman's hygienic tube brushes are available in multiple color-coded options and are manufactured with FDA-approved materials for use in HACCP programs. Standard industrial tube brushes are available in a wider range of filament materials and configurations for applications such as cleaning tubes, cylinders, valves, bores and other industrial components.

What do the different brush colors mean in a food safety program?
Color-coded brushes can be assigned to different areas, equipment or processes within a facility to help reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Justman's fused food-service brushes are available in five colors so facilities can incorporate them into their own internal HACCP color-coding programs. The specific meaning assigned to each color is determined by the facility's food-safety procedures. Explore Justman's foodservice brushes.
How do I choose the correct tube brush size?
Start with the inside diameter of the tube, opening or component you need to clean, along with the depth you need the brush to reach. Justman offers tube brushes in numerous diameters, brush lengths and overall lengths. Filament material and stiffness should also be selected based on the surface being cleaned and the type of material that needs to be removed. Browse Justman's tube brushes.
What brush filament materials are available?
Depending on the brush style and application, Justman offers options including nylon, stainless steel, brass and high-carbon steel, along with specialized materials for specific applications. The best filament depends on factors such as the surface being cleaned, required stiffness, chemical exposure and whether the brush will be used in a food-processing or other controlled environment.
