Dependent claims

A transport roller brush assembly comprising:

an arcuate tube defined by an inner surface and an outer surface and wherein a radius of curvature of the inner surface approximates a radius of a roller whose opposite ends are supported by a frame;
a plurality of brush wires that extend in an outward radial direction beyond the outer surface of the arcuate tube and are oriented to engage material translated over the arcuate tube;
a first collar and a second collar that are each associated with a respective longitudinal end of the arcuate tube and constructed to secure the arcuate tube to the roller;
and
at least one seam defined by each of the arcuate tube, the first collar, and the second collar and that extends in a longitudinal direction such that the arcuate tube, the first collar, and the second collar engage the roller from a radial direction relative to the longitudinal direction.
