Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for cleaning the surface of a disc cutting blade used for slicing bakery products. The apparatus includes a pair of arms disposed on opposite sides of the disc cutting blade, with the extreme end of each arm having a scraping device projecting toward the blade surface. The arms are pivotally mounted remote from the blade about an axis transverse to the blade rotational axis, thus permitting the arms to swing toward and away from the blade and each other. The arms are normally biased to a position in which the scraping device has engaged the blade. The arms are mounted in a frame assembly that is rotated about an axis that is parallel to and spaced from the blade axis, thus permitting the arms and scraping devices to arcuately sweep across the blade surfaces. A cam and cam follower are provided for spreading the arms away from each other as the blade scraping devices sweep toward the blade edge, so that the blade edge is not engaged and damaged.
