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 11):
The method of  claim 10  wherein the silo comprises a loading conduit mounted to the silo with a lower input end thereof located at a lower location on an exterior of the silo and an upper output end located in the upper portion of the interior of the silo, and wherein the vacuum conduit is provided by connecting an input end of a dust conduit to an interior of the housing and connecting an output end of the dust conduit to a lower portion of the loading conduit, and sealing the lower input end of the loading conduit.
