Abstract
An apparatus 10 and method for removing contaminants from a web conveying roller 12 in a machine enclosure 14 comprises a cleaning head 16 that is manually operably controlled external to the machine enclosure 14 so as to resist introducing foreign contaminants into the machine enclosure 14 and reduce environmental emissions. The cleaning head 16 slidably moves lengthwise along the roller to a predetermined location under the influence of first rotatable shaft 30 and is urged into contact with the roller 12 and retracted therefrom under the influence of second rotatable shaft 40.
