According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an integrated cotton dust collection and air purification system designed for power loom weaving mills. The system comprises a suction assembly positioned near dust-generating regions to extract cotton fibers, lint, and airborne particles, and a dust collection unit for storing the extracted contaminants. A screw conveyor mechanism is incorporated to continuously transfer collected dust and prevent clogging. The system further includes a multi-stage air purification unit having an electrostatic precipitator for coarse particle removal, a HEPA filter for fine particulate filtration, and an activated carbon layer for removal of odors and gaseous pollutants. An exhaust fan facilitates airflow through the filtration stages and discharges purified air. Sensors are provided to monitor dust levels and air quality, with a microcontroller-based unit enabling real-time system monitoring. The invention improves air quality, reduces manual cleaning, and enhances occupational health and safety in textile environments."
