wooden transport pipes + an engine are needed to take items from a chest. stone or cobblestone transport pipes to move items over distances, diamond pipe to filter out the items that go into the macerator. then use another wooden pipe + engine to take dust out of the macerator and a stone/cobblestone transport pipe to deposit the dust into a chest or furnace. stone/cobblestone pipes can only move items and deposit them. they cannot be used to extract items from something. diamond pipes need a sample of the item you want them to filter out. The input for furnaces+macerators is the top side, the output is the left side (viewing from the front). The best set up is to pipe dust directly from the macerator to your furnace.
