The brush holder is usually mounted on the machine’s frame or another support structure and secures the brushes in the correct position near the spindles. The brushes rotate along with the spindles and help to sweep away any dirt, leaves, or other that may be clinging to the cotton fibers as they are collected from the plants.

Maintaining the brush holder and replacing the brushes when needed is important for ensuring that the harvesting machine operates efficiently and effectively. A properly functioning brush holder and clean brushes help to prevent clogging and ensure that the cotton picking and harvesting process runs smoothly.
