Abstract
A cleaner for a band bread slicing machine, includes a plurality of band scraper units mounted on an elongated support rod. Each scraper unit includes a pair of fixed, resilient scraper blades positioned to engage the sides of a band blade of the slicer to guide and scrape the blade. A resilient scallop scraper blade is supported adjacent the resilient scraper blades. The scallop scraper engages a beveled or scalloped portion of the band blade. Actuators position the scraper units relative to the bands and move the scallop scraper into and out of engagement with the band.
