Abstract: Aspects to facilitate dust collection are disclosed. In one aspect, a chute provides a dust seal between a bulk bag of material and a silo loading hatch. Here, the dust seal comprises a first seal between a first end of the chute and the bulk bag, and a second seal between a second end of the chute and the silo loading hatch. In another aspect, a collapsible chute is extended between a silo loading hatch and a discharge chute of a bulk bag such that the collapsible chute forms a dust seal between the silo loading hatch and the bulk bag. Contents of the bulk bag are released via the discharge chute so that the contents of the bulk bag flow into the silo loading hatch. For this embodiment, the dust seal prevents airborne dust associated with the flow from escaping into an exterior portion of the collapsible chute.

Abstract: Aspects for dust collection are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus is disclosed, which includes a lightweight portable housing such that a vacuum source, a filter component, and a dust containment component are housed within the lightweight portable housing. The apparatus further includes an input component configured as a conduit between the lightweight portable housing and a dust transition area corresponding to an area between a dust loading component and a dust receiving component. The vacuum source is configured to apply a negative pressure to the dust transition area by creating an air flow from the dust transition area to the lightweight portable housing via the input component, whereas the dust containment component is configured to collect airborne dust removed from the dust transition area and filtered by the filter component. Similar apparatuses are also disclosed to facilitate dust removal from a silo, as well as from a mixer.

Abstract: Aspects for a portable dust collection system are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus is disclosed, which includes a portable housing having a vacuum source and a filter component. The apparatus further includes an input component having at least one inlet and configured as a conduit between the portable housing and a silo. For this embodiment, the vacuum source is configured to provide a negative pressure within an interior portion of the silo by creating an air flow from the interior portion of the silo to the portable housing via the input component, whereas the filter component is coupled to the input component and configured to collect airborne dust removed from the silo by the negative pressure. Similar apparatuses are also disclosed to facilitate dust removal from a mixer, as well as dust removal from multiple dust sources.
