Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0983959A2] Cleaning equipment for escalators, travelators and conveyors has rotating cleaning brushes (42) which brush the moving track (12). The equipment is pushed onto the bottom end of the escalator with the rear section pressed down onto firm ground and to press the friction wheel (50) onto the moving track. No separate drive is required. The brushes remove debris from the track as it passes under the brushes. The cleaning process can take several circuits of the track elements.
