Abstract
A half round dedusting apparatus for removes dust and debris from particulate material passing through the dedusting apparatus. The configuration of the dedusting apparatus includes a half round cylindrical housing in which is mounted a partial cone wash deck having a reverse partial cone deflector that is vertically moveable to vary the flow rate of particulate material passing over the wash deck. The product inlet port is preferably circular and directs contaminant-laden particulate material inside the deflector to pass over the surface of the wash deck. The housing has a greater diameter than the maximum diameter of the wash deck to establish a Venturi zone around the circumference of the wash deck. The wash deck and deflector are detachably mounted within the housing to allow removal thereof for ease of cleaning the wash deck and also the interior of the housing.
