Abstract
A dust collection and removal system for use in conjunction with a tire uniformity machine includes a grinding wheel shroud having a vacuum aperture therein. The vacuum aperture is connected to a vacuum source. An air nozzle is centrally mounted in the vacuum aperture. The air nozzle is connected to a source of pulsed air thereby allowing a blast of air to be directed at the tire surface during or immediately after grinding to dislodge dust particles adhered to the tire. The dislodged dust particles are then removed via the vacuum. A related method of collecting and removing dust includes mounting a vacuum hose adjacent to the grinding face, mounting an air nozzle in the center of the vacuum hose, directing a blast of air toward the tire surface via the nozzle, and removing and collecting the dislodged dust particles via the vacuum hose.
