Provided are a soil removal device (10) and a removal method for removing soil, such as scale residue, smut, or the like, from the surface of a wire material (11) by a cord-shaped member (12), without the use of chemicals or ultrasonic waves. This soil removal device (10) is characterized by having: a wire material winding means (28) for winding a wire material (11) on the surface of which soil such as scale residue, smut, or the like is deposited; a cord-shaped member (12) for wrapping about the wire material (11), and wiping away soil on the surface of a wire material (11) through relative sliding with respect to the wire material (11); and a cord-shaped member feed means (13) for feeding the cord-shaped member (12) with respect to the wire material (11). The soil removal method is characterized by linear feed of a wire material (11) on the surface of which soil such as scale residue, smut, or the like is deposited, wrapping a cord-shaped member (12) about the wire material (11), and winding the cord-shaped member (12), to thereby wipe away soil on the surface of a wire material (11), as well as jetting air onto the surface of the wire material (11) to blow away soil remaining on the surface of the wire material (11). |
