Disclosed herein is an apparatus for cleaning a lubricant for dry-type
wire drawing. The apparatus comprises a case provided with a cover and
piercing holes at opposite sides of the case such that a steel wire can
pass through the case, a plurality of driving motors provided at one side
of the exterior of the case, rotating members located at an inside of the
case and connected to the driving motors, respectively, by belts serving
to rotate them, support plates for supporting the rotating members, and
cleaning members coupled to the rotating member and adapted to provide a
path through which the steel wire passes. The dry lubricant on the
surface of the steel wire can be effectively cleaned by friction between
the lubricant on the steel wire and the cleaning members.
