    Abstract: A build material cleaning structure (150) for use in an additive manufacturing system. The build material cleaning structure comprises: a tubular portion defining a channel to pneumatically transport a build material; a rotatable head portion located at least in part within the tubular portion and comprising a cleaning element (152) extending away from an open end of the tubular portion; and a rotor assembly located within the tubular portion and mechanically coupled to the rotatable head portion to generate a torque to drive the rotatable head portion in a rotary motion in response to an airflow in the channel; wherein the rotatable head portion is rotatable in a plane that is substantively orthogonal to the airflow in the channel.

    Abstract: There is disclosed a sheet media processing machine comprising a media inlet to receive sheet media along a feed direction from a first side of the machine and a media outlet to discharge sheet media along a discharge direction towards the first side of the machine. There is a feed mechanism to convey sheet media from the media inlet to the media outlet, and a re-feed prevention element disposed upstream of the media inlet with respect to the feed direction to inhibit recirculation of discharged sheet media along an external recirculation path between the media outlet and the media inlet. The re-feed prevention element is exposed to contact with sheet media and comprises an elastomer. There is also disclosed a feed guide comprising a re-feed prevention element, and a method in which such a feed guide is installed on a sheet media processing machine.
