A mobile pneumatic apparatus for removing lint, dust, dirt and debris from textile machinery and the locus thereof, having a fan which on one side thereof has a pair of suction conduits generally opposed to one another and has on the other side a blower member, each of the suction conduits having filter means for removal of lint, dust, dirt and debris, the apparatus improved by the inclusion of a normally open suction gate downstream of the filter means in each of the suction conduits which upon actuation closes to prevent air from passing therethrough, and a normally open by-pass conduit in each of the suction conduits downstream of the filter means, the branch conduits by-passing the gate and being directed toward the filter means. Means are provided to close the suction gate by opening the branch conduit gate. By actuation of the suction conduit gate and branch conduit gate in respect of one suction conduit, the air being passed through the other suction conduit functions to backblow the filter and allow the removal of the lint, dust, dirt and debris. A chute is provided with an openable and closable cute gate in general registry with the filter means for allowing the removal of the dust, dirt and debris being discharged from the filter. Several embodiments of the mobile pneumatic apparatus are disclosed, including one having a second branch conduit in association with each suction conduit, which conduit terminates upstream of the filter and assists in the removal of the lint, dust, dirt and debris impinged thereon.
