    [0001] [0001] Graving machines are widely used around the world for digging or excavation activities. These activities are performed especially in places where construction work is going on. The construction and related activities at a worksite can create bulk of waste material. Many systems were used in the past to collect and remove waste matter, for example, lightweight material comprising styrofoam, cardboard, plastic, etc, from industrial sites. The first methods involved manual disposal using the digging machine itself where the waste material was carried using the digging machine and disposed into a truck, where the truck carries the waste and disposes it in a waste disposal site where the waste is either recycled or incinerated. Conveyor belts were also used to carry the waste from the site to a waste collection truck. Another method involved disposing the waste at the site itself by incineration or digging compost pits. Advanced methods involved the use of blowers to create vacuum to suction the waste material to transfer the waste material to a disposal truck.
    [0002] [0002] Prior art systems include, for example, US patent number 3651621 discloses a portable machine used to raise dirt, rocks, and the like from holes, such as fence post and utility pole holes and similar purposes, where components are provided in a closed chamber to extract the heavy and the light dirt particles by gravity separation and then to extract the fine particles by cloth bag filtration. Further, a blower draws a vacuum through a chamber and then through a hose which is lowered into the hole being cleaned. Another example is, for example, US patent number 5142732 which discloses an attachment for an industrial vacuum machine, where the attachment separates bulky items from finer materials passing through the hose. Here, the materials enter a separator chamber through a hose discharging into one side and exit through a second hose leading to the vacuum machine. In most of these cited prior arts, the lighter materials are separated by additional machinery which is time consuming and energy consuming.
    [0003] [0003] Hence, there is a long felt but unresolved need for a vacuum suction apparatus for collecting lightweight materials, where the lightweight materials are suctioned using vacuum and reduced to smaller size within the same equipment.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The cuboidal frame 101 is made of, for example, wrought iron. The suction unit 102 is positioned proximal to the ground so that the suction unit 102 is closer to the ground level where the lightweight materials are dumped. The suction unit 102 is positioned within the cuboidal frame 101 and comprises a suction port 103, an impeller 109, and a discharge port 105. The suction port 103 is positioned at a bottom end 102a of the suction unit 102, and the impeller 109 positioned within a casing 104 positioned above the suction port 103. The suction port 103 is, for example, about 400 millimeter (mm) in diameter. The impeller 109 is in fluid communication with the suction port 103, where the impeller 109 is configured to rotate to generate a vacuum to suction the lightweight materials through the suction port 103.
    [0011] [0011] The impeller 109 is further configured to crush the light materials during the suctioning of the lightweight materials. The discharge port 105 is circumferentially positioned along the casing 104 of the impeller 109 and is configured to discharge the suctioned light weight material into a container 106.
