Assemblies and methods for material extraction

A method for extracting material from a source of the material, the method comprising:

• generating, via a plurality of vacuum generators by use of a pressurized fluid, a vacuum flow through a material collector and a manifold associated with the source of material;
• extracting material from the material source via the vacuum flow through the manifold to a material collector through which the vacuum flow passes;
• depositing at least a portion of the extracted material in the material collector;
• and
• passing the vacuum flow into a sound attenuation chamber to reduce a sound level generated by one or more of the vacuum flow or generating the vacuum flow.

A method for extracting material from a source of the material, the method comprising:

• generating, via a plurality of vacuum generators by use of a pressurized fluid, a high pressure vacuum flow through a material collector and a manifold associated with the source of material, each of the plurality of vacuum generators includes one or more venturi mechanisms configured to use the pressurized fluid flow to generate a high pressure vacuum flow;
• extracting material from the material source via the high pressure vacuum flow through the manifold to the material collector through which the high pressure vacuum flow passes so as to deposit at least a portion of the extracted material in the material collector;
• and
• passing the high pressure vacuum flow into a sound attenuation chamber to reduce a sound level generated by one or more of the high pressure vacuum flow or generating the high pressure vacuum flow.
