A dust retention system for locating above a product vessel includes a support member mounted above the product vessel, a door including an engaging portion detachably connected to the support member and an adjustment device for adjusting the angle of the door with respect to the support member. The door includes a striking portion adjacent the engaging portion with at least a section of the striking portion being constructed of a resiliently flexible material. Product falling onto the striking portion causes the resiliently flexible material of the striking portion to be deflected by the weight of the product, thereby forcing the door from a closed position, where dust is prohibited from escaping the product vessel, into an open position where the product passes across the door into the product vessel. Thereafter the door, without the weight of said product, returning to the closed position under a bias force exerted by said resiliently flexible material.
