Abstract
A system () for cleaning an object () includes a roll cleaner () having a rotatable elastomeric roll () with a cylindrical outer surface configured to contact the first surface of the object (), a rotatable adhesive roll () with a cylindrical outer surface contacting a portion of the outer surface of the elastomeric roll (), and a support (). The object () passes between the elastomeric roll () and the support (), which contacts a second, opposing object surface. An atmospheric plasma cleaner () includes a sealed chamber () and at least one electrode () disposed in the chamber () and receiving a high voltage to generate a plasma applied to the first object surface. At least a portion of an inlet of the plasma cleaner () is formed by the elastomeric roll () and the support (), and the contacting of the first and second surfaces of the object () by the elastomeric roll () and the support () seals the inlet of the plasma cleaner ().
