ABSTRACT:
Particulates from a source fall into a tundish which discharges to a collection chamber. The build-up of particulates in the chamber is sensed, and a valve opened at the bottom of the chamber when a pre-determined level of the particulates is sensed in the chamber. A valve at the top of the chamber may be closed at the same time so that pressurized air can be injected into the chamber to expel the particulates through the bottom of the chamber through the valve. A filter circuit may be connected to the tundish to assist in removing particulates from the tundish.
