To provide a cleaning device for a creamy solder printing machine which can adjust suction force for removing creamy solder easily and constantly in the longitudinal direction of a suction part.
A cleaning device 1 for a creamy solder printing machine is arranged freely movably on the back side of a mask 2 and has the suction part 5 for sucking the back of the mask 2. Since the suction part 5 has a hollow sucking container 18, a suction port 21, and an adjusting means 19 for adjusting suction force at each position of the suction port 21, the suction force at each position of the suction port 21 is adjusted, and the spot of the suction force can be prevented. Since the cleaning device 1 can make the suction port 21 correspond to the range of a pattern hole 7 formed on the mask 2 easily by the rotation, attachment/detachment, insertion, and exchange of the adjusting means 19 to the container 18, the removal of the creamy solder C is possible for all the masks 2.
