Tornado Strike Brush Roll Scraper K47755880

The Brush Roll Scraper (part# K47755880) is the fixed blade that runs along the Tornado Strike’s brushroll and strips off what wraps around it. On any machine used in offices, gyms or salons, hair and thread are the main enemy of a brushroll, and this is the part that fights them continuously so the operator does not have to.

What the Brush Roll Scraper does

Anything long that the roll picks up tends to wind round it rather than go up the airway. Left alone it packs into a solid collar at the bearing ends, which loads the brush motor, wears the belt and eventually cooks a bearing. The scraper sits close enough to the bristle path to catch that material and feed it into the airflow before it can build. A machine with a working scraper needs its roll cleared far less often, which is time saved on every service.

Signs the Brush Roll Scraper needs replacing

Replace it when hair starts wrapping the roll again on a machine that used to stay clear — that is the functional test. Physically: a blade edge that is visibly worn round, chipped or notched; a scraper that has been forced out of line by a jam and no longer runs parallel to the roll; or one that is cracked at its mounting. If you are fitting a new brushroll, check the scraper at the same time, because a worn one will start the new roll wrapping from day one.

Fitting the Brush Roll Scraper

Reached with the brush housing open and the roll out. Note its orientation before removing it — a scraper fitted backwards does nothing. Fit the replacement, refit the roll, and turn the roll by hand through a full revolution to confirm the blade clears the bristles evenly along its length without binding. Clear any packed fibre from the housing before closing up.
