Abstract
A lint control apparatus particularly adapted for textile plants includes a cylindrical filter with filter media about its circumferential periphery, a coaxial fan for drawing ambient air from the workplace radially through the filter media into the filter housing, and an upstanding duct for directing the air exhaust upwardly at overhead surfaces to blow lint therefrom and limit further lint accumulation thereon. The apparatus is adapted to be freestanding on a floor surface of the work area, with an interior baffle within the filter housing effectively concentrating the ambient air draw along the floor surface. The upstanding duct may have a deflector member which is movable through a predetermined course to direct the discharged air over a predetermined overhead area.
