The invention relates to a device (1) for extracting dust in the context of the transfer of pulverulent products from a first container (2) to a second container (3), the combination of the first container and of the second container forming, with the dust extraction device, a closed containment volume comprising, by way of means of connection between the two containers (2), (3), a hollow connector (10) having an open top end (11) and an open bottom end (12), comprising a side wall (13) between its two ends, said side wall (13) defining an external wall (14) and an internal wall (15), characterized in that said connector (10) is pierced with several inlet pipes (20) connected to hoses (40) fed with a stream of pressurized fluid and also pierced with at least one fluid discharge pipe (30), said pipes projecting from said external wall (14) of said connector (10), and opening onto said internal wall (15) via orifices (50) that allow the fluid to be introduced, said orifices (50) being oriented relative to one another in such a way as to cause said fluid to flow in a cyclone within said connector (10), carrying with it any pulverulent product that remains on the internal wall (15) and/or upstream and/or downstream of said connector (10). The invention also relates to an installation comprising said device and to a method of extracting dust, a method of transferring at least one pulverulent product, and a method of sterilizing using said device.
