A cleaning apparatus for an overhead conveyor system is disclosed which provides continuous cleaning of the system for smooth, trouble-free operation. The apparatus preferably includes one or more exteriorly-mounted wire brush assemblies which are arranged on the guide-rail of the conveyor system for operative cleaning engagement with the movable conveyor. A threaded adjustment arrangement is preferably provided so that the pressure exerted on the conveyor by the cleaning brushes can be selectively varied. For conveyors comprising an enclosed, box-section guide rail, the present apparatus is preferably configured to include a tension-carrying internal brush assembly which is integrated into the conveyor itself. In the preferred form, cleaning engagement is effected between the exteriorly-mounted brushes and the tension-carrying internal brush whereby the internal brush is periodically cleaned. |
