In order to enable a conveying surface, which conveys an article or a material, to be cleaned with reduced manpower or in an automated manner to thereby enable the cleaning to be performed quickly and reliably, a cleaning device is provided with a cleaning tool (10) disposed over a conveying element (R). The cleaning tool has a cleaning surface (11) which makes contact with a conveying surface (S). The cleaning device has a traction device (6, 7) which applies a tractive force (T) to the cleaning tool, the tractive force (T) acting in the opposite direction (E) to the conveying direction (D) of a conveying path. The cleaning tool has an own weight (P) which maintains the contact between the cleaning surface and the conveying element when the conveying path is being operated, and the cleaning tool cleans the conveying surface by means of the contact and separation between the cleaning surface and the conveying surface and by means of the relative displacements (V1, V2, V3) between the cleaning surface and the conveying surface. |
