# Particulate collection system

## Abstract

A particulate collection system for use in a production environment. The particulate collection system includes a chute that collects and funnels dust, or other fine particulates, towards an exit opening. Proximal to the exit opening is a hollow stationary enclosure, and a hollow inner rotatable housing positioned inside the hollow stationary enclosure. The hollow stationary enclosure exhibits a first plurality of longitudinal openings, and the hollow inner rotatable housing exhibits a second plurality of spaced-apart openings along a wall of the rotatable housing. As the dust is funneled through the chute, the dust passes through the first plurality of longitudinal openings and the second plurality of spaced-apart openings, wherein the hollow inner rotatable housing temporarily collects the dust. The particulate collection system has a motor that rotates the hollow inner rotatable housing, and an external vacuum system that removes the collected particulates.
