How much is down time costing you?

In some facilities, it takes two people and 8 hours of work to change a brush in the cleaning section. 

But what if you were able change the brush within an hour? What would you save on down time and man power? What would you gain in profits and profitability?

APT makes it possible to change wide-faced brushes in under an hour.  It’s possible through the quick-change design of our APT Packet System, available for our heavy duty brush machines, wide-strip brush machine (30” +) and narrow cantilever design.

A Packet system is just as it sounds. The brush is assembled in segments (packets). These packets interlock in order to create a brush in the size, radius, and length you need.

PACKET SYSTEM FOR WIDE-FACE BRUSH MACHINE

The benefits of the Packet System are obvious: instead of refurbishing an entire brush, you can simply replace one section of the brush that’s worn. And—you can do it all in house or at a local machine shop.

Imagine how this is going to change the process:

• Save on the cost of brush replacements
• Reduce logistics of shipping or delivering your replacements
• Reduce downtime waiting for the refurbished brush to return 

The versatility of the Packet System

Along with the time and expense you’ll save using a Packet System, you’ll also increase the efficiency of your wide-face machines. Here’s how:

1. The Packet System can be used on any brush we manufacture: abrasive, non-abrasive, and multi-filament bristle brushes.
2. Because the Packet System comes with so many bristle options, you’re able to change to a different abrasive grit size (i.e grit 80 to 240), or non-abrasive bristle trim length (i.e. for heavier cleaning), even in the middle of a job. Alternate the packets at different points to tailor the brush according to the demands of the job. ​

This would never have been possible in the past, but with the versatility of segments in the packet system, we’re able to be more agile. You get better tools, and you’re able to use them to get the job done faster.

The Difference with APT

One of the advantages of working with APT is our experience in the industry. We’ve worked on the floor and have experienced the pressure of making sure our strip is clean enough to send out the door. 

We understand the demands on the machines, and so the machines and brushes we design and manufacture reduce the process problems we had in the past.

The packet system radically expands your options. And because there are so many different variations available using the packet system, we’ve found clients benefit most when they call us to talk about the end use and application. We’ll walk through a few suggestions that provide a solution you may not have even realized was possible.

Listen, I want to give you an offer. When people sign up to receive our insider emails, they hear our news earlier than someone would here on the blog. And sometimes they see videos and access tips that aren’t here at all. 

We’ve already sent our customers a link to a “behind the scenes” video of the packet system. And, if you’re interested, I’d like to send it to you. 

It’s not public, but if you send me an email and let me know you’d like to see it, I’ll send you a link to it. 

In the meantime, you can watch the video that is available for the public so you can learn a little more about this revolutionary design.
