# Comestible discharge wire cleaning

## Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using a discharge wire. A system can include a wire cleaning apparatus adapted to clean a discharge wire that is i) positioned within a threshold distance from a comestible conveyor belt and ii) adapted to remove comestibles from the comestible conveyor belt; and an actuator adapted to move the wire cleaning apparatus horizontally across the discharge wire during a cleaning process.
