Abstract
An indicator system is provided for use with a blown-in dust transfer system. A dust collector collects dust, where it accumulates at an airlock feeder. When the feeder moves, accumulated dust is dispensed into an introduction chamber. A blower moves air through an introduction chamber where the dust particles become entrained in the moving air. The dust and air mixture are moved into a removable storage container where the dust particles fall out of the moving air. Return air that is mostly devoid of dust returns to the introduction chamber. Between the storage container and the introduction chamber is a sensor that detects dust in the return air. If the level of dust reaches a certain amount the sensor detects it and an operator is notified that the storage container is full.
