The equipment comprises means (17, 18) for causing a very small quantity of liquid for cleaning rubber cylinders (Cl,C2) to be sprayed in a controlled a nd uniformly distributed way on to a sufficiently long portion of cloth (4), which, in the area directly acted on by the said sprayed liquids and in othe r areas, is kept in uniform and distributed contact with a transverse portion of the surface of the cylinder to be cleaned, and which is pushed, upstream and down~stream of this portion, into close and uniformly distributed contact wi th the cylinder by a rectilinear deformable strip (6) and by a rectilinear deformable presser (9) respectively, each of these having an originally conv ex surface facing the cylinder, the whole being arranged in such a way that the cleaning liquid acts through the cloth on the cylinder to be cleaned in an extended, uniform and progressive way and in a very small quantity, and in such a way that the liquid is conveniently retained in the said cleaning are a by the said cloth and the said rectilinear pressure elements, so that it doe s not fall off and so that it is transferred to the dirt on the cylinder in a gradual and controlled way, while the presser (9) facilitates the penetratio n of the liquid into the dirt and promotes the elimination and removal of the saiddirt. The active surface of the presser (9) has a suitable lowrelief configuration for better distribution of the cleaning liquid, to provide a better mechanical action for cleaning the cylinder and to retain in its channels (209) of origi~nally outwardly diverging shape a large quantity of the paper particles which constitute the dirt removed from the cylinder.</SD OAB>
