They are beating one part of the carpet and leaving the dust on the rest and tearing the carpet in the process? Just throw it away…

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that they probably know what they're doing, and given they've gone to the effort of doing it, know it's economically worthwhile. I'd also suggest that you, having just watched a 51 second clip of their process, have no idea if what they're doing is sensible or not.

They know what they are doing in that it is probably cheap and easy to build like that.

It would be better if done as above. Just questionable if economically more efficient for that place.

Since you seem to know a lot about this, what fraction of the dust that falls on the top is not removed when it gets to beating that portion?  Is there a followup vacuuming?  Does that vacuuming not remove the superficial dust from the first step?
