Abstract: This invention concerns an improved device for cleaning rotary drums, in particular for rotary drum filters. Such device substantially comprises a first tube, functioning as a guide, which is fixed to the inside of the rotary drum; the first tube is provided with a slit along its entire length. A second tube slides within the first tube, with a nozzle at one end, arranged perpendicularly to the two tubes, and which protrudes from said slit. The other end of the second tube is connected to a source of fluid under pressure.
