Abstract
The feed device comprises a housing (10) of sufficient size to contain a cylindrical piece (15), equipped with a removable cover (20), through which passes a nozzle (24) connected to a compressed-air distribution source (25, 26). A flexible pipe (11) is fastened at one of its ends to the housing (10). A loading unit (12) consisting of a fixed part (28) and of a rotary arm (29) is connected to the end of the flexible pipe (11) opposite the housing (10). The pieces (15) can, in particular, be plugs for plugging the tubes of a steam generator of a pressurized-water nuclear reactor.
