Abstract
A cleaning device for removing sludge build-up from elevator ropes includes a brush assembly secured within a housing and shielded by a guard. The sludge is continuously removed from the elevator ropes as the elevator ropes pass through the bristles of the brush. The housing includes a removable receptacle where the removed sludge is collected. The receptacle is periodically removed and cleaned. The cleaning device also includes a cleaning bar which removes the sludge from the brush to provide more effecting cleaning of the elevator ropes.
