Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a method and device for cleaning extrusion heads (10) in the extrusion of thermoplastics, which are ejected or extruded from an extrusion nozzle (14) as a tubular preform (12). According to the invention, in order to remove interfering deposits and baked-on residues (20) on the outlet nozzle (14), the tubular preform (12) is briefly turned around and upset, wherein the deposits (20) adhering in the vicinity of the outlet nozzle (14) are wiped off and transported away by the tubular preform (12). In an advantageous way, the tubular preform (12) itself is used as a cleaning element while the tubular preform is being turned around, while the cleaning automatically occurs during the ongoing operation of the continuous extrusion without interruption of the production process.
