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.
