ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention provides an apparatus for mechanically cleaning the surface of metal wire, comprising at least one set of brushes comprising a first pair of brushes arranged on opposite sides of the metal wire and a second pair of brushes arranged on opposite sides of the metal wire in a plane substantially perpendicular to a plane containing the first pair of brushes, each of said brushes comprising a pair of side cheeks mounted on a central hub and a bunch of cleaning wires extending radially from said central hub and tightly packed between said side cheeks, said side cheeks thereby constraining said cleaning wires against lateral spreading, means for rotating said brushes, and means for biasing said brushes against said metal wire so that the tips of said cleaning wires contact said metal wire and so that, as said cleaning wires are worn down by the brushing action thereof, said metal wire embeds itself into said brushes between the side cheeks thereof and towards said central hub, said cleaning wires thereby contacting approximately half the periphery of said metal wire, and rolling means for correcting any sectional distortion of said wire to be cleaned.
