A system for use with a gunite rig to capture airborne gunite type materials, particularly those containing silica, during the preparation of the gunite. In one respect, as the bags of silica-containing material are placed in the mixing section of the gunite rig and ripped open, airborne gunite dust is captured by a hood, separation, and suction system positioned above the mixer. The mitigation system also includes a plenum box and suction system positioned adjacent the mouth of a gunite pot to capture gunite dust generated as the mixed gunite material falls from a hopper into the gunite pot. A separator positioned upstream of a dust collection apparatus separates the larger heavier particles from the lighter ones.
A system for capturing airborne particles from a gunite preparation apparatus, said apparatus comprising a mixer for mixing the gunite ingredients to form a gunite end product, a transfer system for moving the gunite end product to a hopper, a pot positioned below said hopper and having an axially upwardly facing mouth for receiving gunite product from said hopper, said system further comprising:
