Embodiment Construction

[0027] The present disclosure generally relates to localized dust collection systems for use on off-road excavation equipment. figure 1 A first local dust collection system 20 on a piece of off-road excavation equipment in the form of a surface mining machine 22 is shown. During excavation operations using the surface mining machine 22, the local dust collection system 20 captures dust generated by the cutting drum 24 (i.e., the excavation drum) of the surface mining machine 22, thereby reducing the amount of dust that is released / exhausted into the atmosphere . Dust is extracted from a localized volume around the cutting drum 24 . The localized volume is bounded / defined by a shroud assembly 48 that surrounds / covers at least a portion of the cutting drum 24 .

[0028] It is understood that the enclosure may include various sealing structures for controlling or limiting the flow of outside air into the localized volume. Example sealing structures are disclosed in PCT / US2010 / ...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an air cleaning system for an off- road excavation apparatus. The off-road excavation apparatus includes an excavating component and a shroud assembly that at least partially covers the excavating component. The shroud assembly includes a first shroud component and a second shroud component. The first shroud component is moveable relative to the second shroud component to allow access to the excavating component. The air cleaning system draws air from inside the shroud assembly and includes an air cleaner, an air conduit and an air moving device that are all carried by the first shroud component as the first shroud component is moved relative to the second shroud component.

Description

[0001] This application was filed on April 13, 2012 as a PCT International Patent Application in the name of Vermeer Manufacturing Company, a U.S.-based corporation as named applicant in all countries except the United States, and in the names of Edward Lee Cutler and Glenn Meinders, U.S. citizens US Designated Applicant only, and this application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 475,585, filed April 14, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] The present disclosure generally relates to a dust suppression device. Background technique [0003] A rock is an indeterminate mixture / aggregation of natural materials mainly including minerals. Rocks from which minerals or metals can be mined for economic purposes are called ores. Man-made materials with rock-like properties include concrete and asphalt. [0004] Certain machines allow rock or similar materials to be excavated from the Earth's surfa...
