SHORT DESCRIPTION
The Verti- Brush has been designed to brush in fine-grained, loose grit such as fine or
coarse sand, or similar. The rotating brush segments are driven by a hydraulic motor. The
hydraulic motor speed for the brush segments is continually adjustable via a flow
regulator. Brushing intensity can therefore be controlled in different ways.
