ABSTRACT:
A shoe cleaning machine is provided with one group of brushes (11) comprising at least one brush (11) with bristles aligned in a certain direction (11a) and at least a second brush (11b) with bristles aligned perpendicular to those of the preceding brush. A pan (13) for collecting dirt is positioned under the group of brushes and at least one nozzle (11c) sprays water on the group. An operator arm (8) carries at least one last (4) to which a shoe to be cleaned is tied: the arm has a linear actuator (9) with certain positions of extension, and is also intermediate to, a rotary actuator (10) which rotates the arm with respect to the frame (1) of the machine, to move the said lasts from the loading station (3) to the group of brushes and on to the discharge (16). In a second embodiment the machine presents a washing and/or drying station (41) that includes at least one mobile nozzle (42), made to cover the external surface of the shoe, which is rotatable by a rotary actuator (33) on the center line of the last (4).
