A device for use within the backhead of a down hole percussive drill, for removing debris from a drillhole, includes a flow control member in the drill backhead for inducing cyclonic flow of percussive fluid, to concentrate the heavier water and other matter away from the lighter percussive gases, a separator in the backhead that separates the water and other matter, passageways in the backhead for ejecting the separated water and other matter, a sealing member for sealing the backhead passageways against back flow of debris from the drillhole annulus, and an indexing member for positioning the separator so as to permit a pre-selection of flow amounts of removed water and other matter. |
