Abstract

In a cleaning device on a printing press for cleaning outer cylindrical surfaces of cylinders and rollers, there is provided a cleaning cloth unwindable from a supply roll and guidable via a pressure bar to a drivable soiled-cloth take-up roll, the cleaning cloth being pressable during the cleaning operation by the pressure bar against the outer cylindrical surface to be cleaned, the cleaning cloth being formed with a fleece material of stiffened and constrained microfibers having a large surface, high wear resistance, constant density distribution, high absorbability, and low lint formation.
