Systems and methods for removing particulate material
A material removal system includes a collection conduit having a distal end that is positionable adjacent particulate material. A primary particle separator system connected to the collection conduit separates quantities of particulate material entrained in an air stream. A secondary particle separator system connected to an outlet of the primary particle separator system separates additional quantities of particulate material entrained in an air stream exiting the primary particle separator system. An air pump connected to an outlet of the secondary particle separator system creates an airflow through the collection conduit and the primary and secondary particle separator systems. A conveyor system operatively associated with material discharge ports of the primary and secondary particle separator systems collects separated particulate material from the material discharge ports of the primary and secondary particle separator systems and transports the separated particulate material to a material discharge end of the conveyor system.
