A specialist manufacturing company who were producing Glass Fibre Cloth for use in the aircraft industry approached HBC with a problem. They were getting fine particles of glass dust forming on their product during the manufacturing process that needed to be removed quickly and efficiently.

We invited representatives from the company to visit our factory in Mere to discuss the exact nature of the problem and to come up with a solution.

HBC successfully resolved their problem by manufacturing a quantity of special roller brushes that removed the dust from the Glass Fibre Cloth following its manufacture.

Have you ever struggled to open an Oyster with just your hands and a knife? Well, HBC was approached with this very problem by a company who had an idea of how to overcome this rather unusual predicament.

We discussed and developed their idea and came up with the perfect solution. We now manufacture and supply a wooden Oyster Clamp that fits on the edge of your dining table and allows you to open your Oyster with the minimum of effort. Having acquired the business of ZU Products, Hill Brush now sells this product to Restaurants and Hotels across the UK.

If you are partial to the odd Oyster and are interested in owning your very own Oyster Clamp, they can be found at www.z-u.co.uk.

A world renowned chewing gum manufacturer approached our company with a problem in their manufacturing process. HBC after extensive research and testing developed a scraper manufactured from a specialist material which enabled our customer to not only solve their initial problem but which also saved them considerable production time and in turn saved a considerable sum in costs. This product has now been adopted in several of their worldwide production facilities.

With the constantly changing rules and regulations on hygiene sensitive areas in food production facilities. HBC designed and manufactured the HDHOOK1; this product enables all of our hygiene items to be held hygienically off of any surface, ready for use. The product was designed to be able to be wall mounted individually or in multiples using our rail fixing system.

After consultation with our customers HBC designed the Niche brush to enable our customers to clean in very tight or small areas, the design included a small scraper shaped end on the reverse of the brush face; this enables you to remove stubborn debris with ease. This item is available with both polyester filling and food grade stainless steel.

A company who specialise in producing diamond impregnated floor grinding equipment needed a way of preventing the debris from the grinding process being dispersed in the work area.

They asked HBC if they could put a row of knots into a special prototype plastic moulding that would act as a shield around the grinder. This proved to be a challenge as the specification required was outside the parameters of most modern brush making machinery. However with special tooling and adjustment to our filling and trimming equipment we produced a finished product that helped them to achieved their objective.
