ABSTRACT:
A cleaning mechanism for conveyors and items being transported on conveyors including an endless belt of rug material which contacts the surface of a conveyor or the bottoms of articles being transported thereon to clean them. The mechanism includes a nozzle which is positioned to spray water or water and solvent or solvent onto the endless belt to clean and moisten the belt. A squeegee roller is provided downstream of the nozzle to remove excess liquid so that the desired amount of water remains on the belt. The squeegee roller is spring biased against the belt to remove the excess liquid and also to apply tension to the belt so that the belt is sufficiently taut to perform the cleaning function. The cleaning mechanism can be placed alongside the conveyor to clean the bottom of the articles being transported by the conveyor.
