Abstract
An apparatus for collecting lint from a gas comprising a shell, a gas passageway through the shell, and a lint-collecting component positioned to collect lint from the gas. The lint-collecting component has a vertical longitudinal axis and a collecting surface, preferably cylindrical, surrounding the longitudinal axis. The apparatus also includes a cage which causes the lint to accumulate in a plurality of sections on the collecting surface. The shell has a smooth interior surface to allow the lint to travel over the surface without hang-up. A blow-off system is provided to remove accumulated lint from the collecting surface. The blow-off system includes an air reservoir and a regulator/filter for filling the reservoir with air from a supply line at a controlled rate. A control system activates the blow-off system and includes a timed delay to allow the effects of coasting to minimize.
