This apparatus consists of a conduit of high-pressure water jets projecting the water onto the surface of the accumulated deposits, and a mixing chamber where the loosened deposit is disintegrated and suspended in water. A shovel constitues the back wall and the bottom of the mixing chamber. The shovel extracts the deposit and promotes its suspension in water. A diffusor is connected to a corner of the mixing chamber to evacuate the suspension, and an ejector is connected to the diffusor to drive the suspension to the evacuation pipe.
