Dust control device and method of controlling airborne particles from a dust-containing material

A dust control system, comprising:

• a container having an interior for receiving a dust-containing material;
• a vacuum source;
• and
• a dust control device, comprising:
• a body defined by a cylindrical wall extending between a first open end and a second open end, wherein a hollow interior extends between the first and second open ends, the cylindrical wall having a continuous circumferential surface extending from the first open end to the second open end;
• a funnel-shaped inlet portion extending from the first open end;
• a base located at the second open end that is engageable with the container and that extends around at least a portion of the circumferential surface of the cylindrical wall;
• an outlet port located between the first and second open ends of the body, the outlet port connectable to a vacuum source;
• and
• a channel extending around the circumferential surface of the cylindrical wall that is in fluid communication with the outlet port and the interior of the container for withdrawing airborne particles when the outlet port is connected to a vacuum source, the channel having a bottom opening that extends towards the interior of the container and that extends around the circumferential surface of the cylindrical wall, wherein the base surrounds the channel.
