What tools should customers prepare for operating and maintaining the machine?

Before operating a Meixin brush-making machine, customers should prepare several basic tools for daily operation, adjustment, and maintenance: an air gun, clean engine oil, hex keys, wrenches, locking pliers, and suitable grinding tools. These tools are mainly used for routine cleaning, lubrication, component adjustment, tightening, and minor maintenance work, helping operators handle basic machine maintenance efficiently and reduce unnecessary downtime.

The exact tools required may vary depending on the machine model and its configuration — Meixin can provide operating and maintenance guidance and confirm the recommended tool list for your model in advance.

14
Which PLC system and touchscreen does Meixin use in its machines?

Meixin brush-making machines use the AMC1600 (ADTECH) control system for machine operation and process management. The control system provides stable machine control and supports practical operation requirements in brush manufacturing processes, including parameter adjustment, production control, and machine movement management — important for maintaining consistent performance, especially for machines performing precise operations such as drilling and tufting.

Combined with Meixin's mechanical design and manufacturing experience, the control system helps ensure stable operation and efficient production for different brush applications. For specific machine models or control requirements, contact Meixin and our team can provide detailed technical information.

15
What is the approximate installation space required for Meixin machines?

A standard tufting machine requires approximately 2 square meters of floor space; a drilling and tufting machine generally requires about 3–4 square meters due to the additional drilling function and machine structure. When planning the factory layout, customers should also consider additional space for:

Meixin can provide machine dimensions and layout suggestions before shipment to help customers prepare the installation area in advance — contact Meixin with your factory layout requirements, and we can help plan a suitable machine installation arrangement.

  • Operator movement
  • Raw material storage
  • Brush base loading and unloading
  • Auxiliary equipment

16
What are the voltage and frequency requirements for your equipment?

Meixin machines can be configured to different electrical standards required by customers in different countries and markets: Voltage 380V / 220V; Frequency 50Hz / 60Hz. Before production, Meixin confirms the customer's local electrical requirements to ensure that the machine is suitable for installation and operation at the customer's facility.

Since different countries may have different power standards, providing accurate electrical information during the quotation and ordering stage helps avoid installation issues after delivery. Please inform Meixin of your country and factory power requirements, and we will prepare the appropriate machine configuration accordingly.

17
What additional equipment or auxiliary machines are required for operating?

Besides the brush-making machine itself, customers may need several auxiliary facilities depending on their production requirements:

Meixin can help customers evaluate the complete production setup, including the main brush-making machine and necessary supporting equipment.

  • An air compressor is required, since Meixin machines use a pneumatic system.
  • A voltage stabilizer or generator is recommended if the factory has unstable voltage conditions.
  • Filament cutting machines, brush trimming machines, and other supporting equipment, depending on the production process and desired finished product quality.
18
How many operators are required for one machine?

Normally, each Meixin tufting machine requires one operator for daily production. The operator mainly handles loading brush bases, monitoring machine operation, and unloading finished products, while the automatic tufting or drilling and tufting process reduces repetitive manual work and improves production efficiency.

The exact labor requirement may vary depending on machine model, brush product size, production volume, and factory workflow. For customers operating multiple machines or larger production lines, Meixin can also provide advice on production layout and equipment arrangement.

Share your expected production capacity with Meixin, and we can help estimate the suitable equipment and labor requirements.

19
Are Meixin machines easy to operate?

Yes. Meixin designs brush-making machines with a focus on user-friendly operation, practical control systems, and efficient operator training.

The machines are equipped with clear control interfaces and operating systems that help operators understand machine functions and production settings more easily. For new customers, Meixin provides technical guidance and training support, and key functions such as drilling, tufting, and parameter adjustment are designed to be practical and manageable.

Through proper training and daily maintenance, operators can quickly adapt to the equipment and maintain stable production performance.

20
What is the level of automation of your equipment?

Meixin brush-making machines are semi-automatic: the machine automatically performs key processes such as tufting or drilling and tufting, while operators mainly handle loading and unloading brush bases and monitoring production. This semi-automatic design provides a balance between production efficiency, equipment flexibility, and operating convenience, and is suitable for many brush manufacturers who require improved productivity without investing in fully automated production lines.

The automation level can also be adjusted according to the customer's production volume, labor conditions, and product requirements — contact Meixin with your production expectations, and our team can recommend the most suitable automation solution.

21
What is the hourly production capacity of a brush making machine?

Meixin brush-making machines produce approximately 150–200 broom or brush pieces per hour, with an average speed of 5–7 holes per second under normal operating conditions. Actual output depends on the brush structure, machine configuration, operator efficiency, and production requirements — factors such as brush size, hole arrangement, bristle density, and loading/unloading time can influence the final result.

Meixin focuses not only on machine speed but also on production stability and consistent product quality, so a suitable machine configuration helps customers achieve better overall production efficiency.

22
What is the difference between a tufting machine and a drilling and tufting machine?

The main difference is whether the brush base already has holes before the bristle insertion process. A standard tufting machine is designed for brush bases with pre-existing holes: it performs the bristle insertion process by accurately placing filaments into the prepared holes.

A drilling and tufting machine integrates two processes — it drills holes into the brush base, then inserts the bristles automatically — and is suitable for brush products where the base does not have pre-drilled holes.

The choice depends on your production process, brush design, and manufacturing requirements. For customers producing customized brushes or requiring higher production integration, drilling and tufting machines can reduce manual processes and improve efficiency.

What information is required before recommending a suitable brush-making machine?

To recommend the most suitable brush-making machine, Meixin usually requires detailed information about your product and production requirements:

Physical samples are especially helpful because they allow our engineers to evaluate the actual brush structure, hole arrangement, and tufting requirements. Based on this information, Meixin can determine whether a standard tufting machine, drilling and tufting machine, or customized solution is more suitable.

  • Brush samples or product drawings
  • Brush dimensions and structure
  • Brush base material
  • Bristle material and specifications
  • Required production capacity
  • Expected automation level
  • Other technical requirements

24
How does the machine handle the production of different products?

Meixin brush-making machines can produce different brush models by adjusting or changing specific components according to product requirements — including clamps, fixtures, tufting tools, or related machine settings. The ability to switch between different brush models depends on brush base dimensions, hole pattern, bristle specifications, product structure, and machine configuration.

For customers producing multiple brush products, Meixin can evaluate whether one flexible machine can meet their requirements or whether dedicated equipment would provide better production efficiency. By selecting suitable tooling and programming settings, customers can improve production flexibility without purchasing separate machines for every brush type.
