Record Cleaning Mystery


I have the Pro-Ject Record Cleaning Machine and something odd and irritating is happening lately. Every record recently cleaned has deposited a fuzz ball on my stylus. While listening the sound will degrade, I go look and sure enough a ball of fuzz. The machine seems to work good, the records look great and do sound clean but half way through the record the fuzz mucks up the stylus. Does anyone who might own this cleaner experience this as well? I trade off between Mobile Fidelity cleaning fluids and the one supplied by Pro-Ject. I also use the supplied brush.  Thanks in advance.

MAterial is a light gray. Looks like dust. Happens on side one. I do clean stylus prior.
Thanks to all for your great replies. I will look at the lips on the vacuum arm. Maybe they need changing.  I do pick up dust on both sides of records and yes there is no platter on the Pro-Ject cleaner.  Obstruction is an interesting thought. The last time I went to empty the recovery tank hardly anything came out.!
