  • Patent number: 5849096
    Abstract: A method for cleaning the wheels of a car used in a semiconductor manufacturing plant uses a pair of endless belts that carry a dust trapping material on their outer surfaces. The car is located with a wheel supported by two rollers that each carry one of the belts. One of the rollers is turned and as the wheel rides in a gap between the two belts it turns with the first belt and transfers a turning motion to the other belt. As the wheel turns with the belts, dust on the wheel is transferred to the belts.
