The steps and process for the production of brushware was shared between brushmakers, conditioners of bristles and wood workers who mainly lived in the villages close to Todtnau, Germany. The brush handles were produced on turning machines which were moved by waterpower. The purchase of bristles and hair at home and abroad such as France and Switzerland became a separate branch of trade. The travelling salesmen played a major role. In the early stages they only went to Switzerland or the upper Rhine. At different places they built depots to sell brushes directly at annual fairs or from door to door.
The Z.SHARK high-performance tamping machine is now also available with a double turret for holding two toothbrush bodies.
ZAHORANSKY has announced a double turret as an option for the Z.SHARK family of high-performance tufting machines. The double turret ensures the Z.SHARK can use its full output capacity in an even wider range of applications. Typical applications include the tufting of children’s toothbrushes as well as hybrid toothbrushes and toothbrushes with different hole diameters that are partially tufted by two machines. In these cases, the double turret compensates for the lower bundle requirement per toothbrush so that the Z.SHARK can produce at its maximum speed of 1,000 tufts/minute.
