An apparatus for cleaning heat exchanger tubes and in particular an
improved collection system for nuclear generator cleaning and blasting
media and deposit material. A suction line having a downwardly directed
suction inlet is effective to vacuum airborne media and debris in said
chamber and vacuum media and debris deposited on the bottom of said
chamber below said suction inlet. A hopper, air jet and shaker means are
provided to transport deposited media and debris toward the suction
inlet. Breaker and partition means are provided to reduce back-streaming
of debris into heat exchanger tubes.
