System and process for removing debris from plastic sheets
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a multi-stage system and process for removing debris from plastic sheets (such as tier sheets or any other suitable sheets formed from any suitable material). Certain embodiments of the sheet-cleaning system (10) include a drive assembly comprising a drive roller (211, 212) driven by a drive actuator, an electrostatic-discharge device (220) operable to discharge static electricity, and a cleaning roller assembly (230) comprising a cleaning roller (231, 232) driven by a cleaning roller actuator, the cleaning roller (231, 232) comprising a cleaning implement on at least part of its outer surface.

Servicing print blankets
In an example of the disclosure, a system to service a print blanket includes a rotatably mounted endless cleaning surface (ECS), a doctor blade, a heating element, and a container. The ECS is to carry a polymeric material and positioned to engage the print blanket. The doctor blade is disposed in relationship to the ECS and to a container to scrape a portion of the polymeric material from the ECS into the container. The heating element is to heat the container. The container is positioned to collect the scraped portion of polymeric material, and make heated polymeric material available to be picked up by the ECS as the ECS is rotated adjacent to the container.
