Industrial Brushes Making

We’re excited to share that from December 9–11, 2025, we attended the 4th International Brush Manufacturing Industry Exhibition. This year marks a special milestone — our 10th anniversary since 2016! We were honored to receive the “10th Anniversary Commemorative Award” from the organizing committee.   As Zhangzhou Hengyu Automation Technology Co., Ltd., we are dedicated to the R&D and production of paintbrush manufacturing equipment and have grown into a leading brush machinery manufacturer in China. Over the years, we’ve built strong partnerships with clients across the globe, including Russia, Turkey, Brazil, India, and beyond.   We pride ourselves on delivering advanced technology and thoughtful after-sales support to ensure every customer’s satisfaction and trust.   Thank you to all our partners and friends in the industry! Let’s keep brushing the future together. 🎨

When it comes to assembling bristle brushes, how the brush head and handle are joined can make a big difference in durability, appearance, and production efficiency. Today, we’re breaking down two common methods used in the brush-making industry:   ✅ “Socket & Nail”  – The Secure & Clean Method ✅ “Glue Pouring” – The Fast & Flexible Method Let’s dive into the details so you can choose the best process for your needs.    1. Socket & Nail  – Strong, Neat & Efficient How It Works: ● The bristle tuft  is first inserted into a metal ferrule . ● A small amount of glue is applied to hold the bristles in place while drying. ● Once the glue sets, the ferrule is fitted tightly onto a wooden/metal handle . ● Finally, a nail or rivet  is driven through the ferrule and handle to create a rock-solid bond.   Why It’s Great: ✔ Less glue = lower cost & no mess – Since only a small amount is used, there’s no glue overflow, keeping the brush looking clean. ✔ Super strong & durable – The tight ferrule + nail reinforcement ensures the brush head won’t wobble or detach easily. ✔ Premium finish – No unsightly glue stains, making it ideal for high-end brushes.       2. Glue Pouring  – Quick & Forgiving How It Works: ● The bristle tuft is placed in a metal ferrule, then filled with a generous amount of glue. ● The handle is immediately inserted into the wet glue. ● The assembly is left to cure naturally without needing tight tolerances.   Why It’s Used: ✔ Faster production – No waiting for glue to dry before moving to the next step.More flexible with handle sizes – Since the fit isn’t tight, minor variations in handle dimensions are tolerated.Good for mass production – Works well when speed is prioritized over premium finish. ⚠ Downside: The glue seam may be visible, and the bond might not be as long-lasting as the nail method.      Which Method Should You Choose? Factor Socket & Nail  Glue Pouring  Durability ✅ Extremely strong (nail + tight fit) ⚠ Good, but less secure Appearance ✅ Clean, no glue marks ⚠ May show glue residue Production Speed ⚠ Requires drying time ✅ Faster (no wait) Handle Tolerance ❌ Needs precise fit ✅ Flexible with sizes Cost ✅ Lower glue usage ⚠ More glue needed 🔧 Best for premium brushes? → Socket & Nail 🔨 Best for fast, high-volume production? → Glue Pouring   Final Thoughts Both methods have their place in brush manufacturing. If you want a long-lasting, professional-grade brush, the socket & nail method is the way to go. But if you need speed and flexibility, glue pouring can be a great alternative. 🛠 Need help choosing the right brush assembly for your product?
