Abstract:
Granular material flows out through the discharge opening of a silo and through a sealed housing to a target location. A vent opening in a top portion of the silo has a vent cover operative to selectively open and close the vent opening. When the vent cover is closed, air movement into an upper portion of the silo is prevented. A gate is operative to control a flow of granular material through the discharge opening. A vacuum conduit has a lower input end thereof connected to an interior of the housing, and an upper output end thereof located in an upper portion of an interior of the silo. Material flowing out of the silo creates a vacuum drawing dust from the housing up the vacuum conduit into the silo.

Claim (Index 4):
The apparatus of any  claim 2  wherein the output end of the dust conduit is connected to the lower portion of the loading conduit through a valve mechanism operative to selectively connect and disconnect the output end of the dust conduit and the lower portion of the loading conduit, and operative to correspondingly seal and open the lower input end of the loading conduit.
