Abstract: An air shower system, as described herein, is for use with a dust collector having an intake vacuum. The system includes a chamber having at least one vacuum orifice and at least one air blade orifice. The intake vacuum is functionally connected to the vacuum orifice(s). At least one air blade is created when the intake vacuum draws air from the exterior of the chamber into the interior of the chamber through the air blade orifice(s). The air blade(s) may be used for dislodging contaminants from an occupant within the chamber.
Abstract: Preferred nose cones 100 associatable with a tail spout 120 of a sand handler and a vacuum hose 130 of a vacuum system are described herein. A method for containing respirable and/or inhalable particles 140 created in an industrial process is also disclosed herein.
