Abstract
A system for the controlled distribution of capping material and the capture of dust and particulates includes an enclosure having a top wall and a continuous perimetrical side wall with an open bottom end. A cyclone inside the enclosure separates the air, dust, and particulates from solid materials. The air, dust, and particulates are exhausted from the enclosure to a filtering system. The solid capping material passes from the cyclone to a hopper and then to a spreader for the controlled distribution of the capping material through the open bottom end of the enclosure.

A system for controlled distribution of capping material and capture of dust and particulates, the system comprising:
- an enclosure having an interior, an inlet formed by an aperture for receiving capping material, and an outlet formed by an opening for removing dust and particulates, the enclosure comprising:
- a top wall having a perimetrical edge;
- a continuous side wall extending downwardly from the perimetrical edge of the top wall to an open bottom end of the enclosure;
- and
- a rigid internal support structure;
- and
- a spreader for the controlled distribution of the capping material through the open bottom end of the enclosure.
