Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure a system for capturing proppant dust particles when positioned at a fracking operation site including a proppant delivery assembly to receive one or more containers having proppant stored therein. The system dispenses the proppant from the one or more containers and delivers the proppant to other fracking operation equipment. Moreover, the system includes a dust collection assembly positioned proximate and associated with the proppant delivery assembly to capture dust particles released by movement and settling of the proppant when being dispensed and delivered by the proppant delivery assembly. The dust collection assembly is positioned to direct an air flow in a flow path overlying the dust particles to capture the dust particles and move the dust particles away from the proppant thereby reducing risk of dust exposure to fracking operation site personnel.

Claim (Index 7):
A catch box, arranged beneath and proximate a lower surface of a proppant mover and adjacent a mover outlet that discharges proppant therefrom, to catch settling residual proppant and dust particles when the proppant is transferred from the proppant mover to a desired location outside the catch box, the proppant mover includes a conveyor belt that deposits the proppant into the chute at a conveyor location adjacent a region where the conveyor belt rotates over a roller in a different direction thereby to define a flips over of the conveyor belt, the catch box further being positioned adjacent the conveyor belt location to catch the residual proppant remaining on the conveyor belt when the conveyor flips over, the catch box comprising:\n an inlet positioned below the conveyor belt to catch residual proppant and dust particles when the conveyor belt deposits the proppant into a chute that directs the proppant to the desired location; a catch box container having an interior volume to store the residual proppant and dust; an outlet positioned and operable to enable removal of residual proppant and dust particles when settled in the catch box container; and an inclined surface positioned adjacent the conveyor belt to direct the residual proppant and dust particles toward a lower section of the catch box.
