What is claimed is: 1. A cleaning assembly for removing liquids from an endless conveyor belt, the assembly comprising: a plurality of laterally extending liquid absorbent material sheets disposed adjacent the belt, with the sheets collectively defining a contact face that is engageable with the belt for wiping liquids and solids from the belt. 2. The cleaning assembly of claim 1, wherein the plurality of sheets are substantially vertically aligned in a stack. 3. The cleaning assembly of claim 2, wherein the plurality of sheets are affixed together along a first face of the stack that is disposed opposite the contact face. 4. The cleaning assembly of claim 1, wherein the absorbent material is selected from the group consisting of a nonwoven material, a woven material, and a knit material, or combinations thereof. 5. The cleaning assembly of claim 1, wherein the absorbent material has a melt temperature greater than 350째 F. (177째 C.). 6. The cleaning assembly of claim 1, and further comprising: a sensor for generating a signal indicative of the degree of liquid saturation of the absorbent material. 7. The cleaning assembly of claim 6, wherein the sensor detects the change in weight of the absorbent material over time. 8. The cleaning assembly of claim 6, wherein the sensor detects the change in opacity of the absorbent material over time. 9. The cleaning assembly of claim 1, wherein the absorbent material has one or more of the following characteristics: oleophilic, hydrophilic, or a combination thereof. 10. The cleaning assembly of claim 1, wherein the absorbent material is spunbond PET. 11. The cleaning assembly of claim 1, wherein the sheets are disposed substantially perpendicular to the belt, and disposed relative the belt at a distance such that at least one of the individual sheets to deflects due to contact with the belt. 12. A cleaning assembly for removing liquids from an endless conveyor belt, the assembly comprising: a liquid absorbent material unit disposed adjacent the belt, wherein the absorbent material unit comprises a stack of laterally extending sheets of absorbent material affixed together at first edges of each of the sheets, wherein at opposite second edges the sheets collectively define a contact face on the absorbent material unit that is engageable with the belt for wiping liquids and solids from the belt, and wherein at least one of the sheets deflects when engaged with the belt. 13. The cleaning assembly of claim 12, wherein the absorbent material is selected from the group consisting of a nonwoven material, a woven material, and a knit material, or combinations thereof. 14. The cleaning assembly of claim 12, wherein the absorbent material has a melt temperature greater than 350째 F. (177째 C.). 15. The cleaning assembly of claim 12, and further comprising: a sensor for generating a signal indicative of the degree of liquid saturation of the absorbent material. 16. The cleaning assembly of claim 15, wherein the sensor detects the change in weight of the absorbent material over time. 17. The cleaning assembly of claim 15, wherein the sensor detects the change in opacity of the absorbent material over time. 18. The cleaning assembly of claim 12, wherein the absorbent material has one or more of the following characteristics: oleophilic, hydrophilic, or a combination thereof. 19. The cleaning assembly of claim 12, wherein the absorbent material is spunbond PET. 20. A method for removing liquids from an endless conveyor belt, the method comprising: advancing the belt; and engaging the belt with a contact face of a liquid absorbent material unit disposed adjacent the belt, wherein the absorbent material unit comprises a stack of laterally extending sheets of absorbent material affixed together at first edges of each of the sheets, wherein at opposite second edges the sheets collectively define the contact face of the absorbent material unit, and wherein at least one of the sheets deflects when engaged with the belt. 21. The method of claim 20, and further comprising: periodically replacing the liquid absorbent unit relative to the belt.
