Abstract
A system for removing particles from an air stream includes a housing having an air stream inlet at a first end, and an air stream outlet at a second end. The housing defines a flow path between the air stream inlet and air stream outlet. An agricultural device generating an air stream containing particles is in fluid communication with the housing, the air stream from the agricultural device being directed into the air stream inlet of the housing. An aggregator is disposed between the air stream inlet and the air stream outlet. The aggregator facilitates the aggregation of particles within the air stream. The aggregated particles fall from the aggregator by force of gravity.
Claims6
A system for removing particles from an air stream, the system comprising:
- a housing defining an air stream inlet at a first end thereof, an air stream outlet at a second end thereof, and a flow path between the air stream inlet of the housing and the air stream outlet of the housing, wherein the air stream inlet is configured to receive an air stream from an agricultural device;
- and
- a rotating aggregator disposed between the air stream inlet of the housing and the air stream outlet of the housing, wherein the rotating aggregator is configured to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the flow path defined by said housing, further wherein the aggregator is configured to facilitate aggregation of particles in an air stream passing through the housing and remove them therefrom,
- and further wherein aggregated particles within the air stream fall from the aggregator by force of gravity.
