Brass brushes
Goodway® brass brushes (GTC-200B) are designed to remove light to mediumhard deposits from straight, smooth heat exchanger tubes. Since the brushes are made out of brass material, they can be used for ferrous and nonferrous tube metals.
- Use these brushes to remove deposits, like: light rust and scaling.
Brass material
Because they are made from brass, these brushes are slightly more aggressive than standard nylon tube cleaning brushes. They are an ideal solution when Goodway® tube cleaning brushes – such as the spin-grit variants – are unable to completely remove deposits from heat exchanger tubes. Since brass is softer than stainless steel, it poses a lower risk of scratching the tube walls.
However, due to the harder nature of brass, these brushes generate more friction and place additional strain on the connected flexible shaft. For this reason, Goodway Benelux recommends using them for larger tube inner diameters, starting from 11,1 millimeters.
Threaded vs. Quick Connect
Goodway® brass brushes are available with either threaded or quick connect fittings. The right choice depends on your application:
- Quick Connect – Recommended for most chiller and heat exchanger cleaning applications. Enables bi-directional brush rotation for superior cleaning results. Best paired with machines such as: RAM-PRO, RAM-PRO-XL, and RAM-4.
- Threaded – Recommended for heavy-duty, industrial cleaning applications. Best paired with machines such as: AWT-100, AWT-100X, and RAM-4X.

All reviews
After achieving limited results with traditional high-pressure cleaning methods on our wastewater evaporators, a Goodway Benelux product specialist conducted on-site testing with their tube cleaning system and a range of brush combinations to identify the optimal solution. Following the trial, we purchased Goodway®’s AWT-100X tube cleaning system with brass- and stainless steel brushes. The improvement after a mechanical cleaning with these brushes is significant; the equipment itself delivers a better cleaning result, and has allowed us to clean our evaporators in a more preventive way, leading to improved efficiency of our evaporators. Most importantly, mechanical cleaning does not damage the installation, which was the case with high-pressure cleaning. After eight months, we decided to purchase a second device from Goodway® for our evaporators at our other location. We definitely recommend it!
