Abstract (en)
An apparatus for cleaning particles from a surface (11) in a printing machine that includes a blade (100) and a vibrational apparatus (150). The blade (100) has a fixed end and a free end opposed to one another. The free end contacts a side of the surface forming a cleaning edge to remove particles from the surface. The vibrational apparatus (150) is positioned opposite the blade (100) with the surface located between the blade and the vibrational apparatus. The vibrational apparatus reduces friction and lowers the level of blade force required between the blade and the surface to prevent tucking of the blade. <IMAGE>
