An apparatus and method for automatically preparing ground consumable plant material for smoking, wherein the apparatus can repeat the method quickly. The apparatus comprises an outer shell which protects the separating unit which is configured to hold the raw consumable material while simultaneously pushing micro bits of ground consumable material through small apertures, thus extracting all unwanted raw material. The separation unit further comprises a screen which the ground consumable material rolls over to aid in the collection of the consumable pollen. While the outer shell further comprises a funnel to aid in the delivery of the ground consumable material to a smoking device.

A separating device separates liquid absorbent fibers from a material including the liquid absorbent fibers of an absorbent article and impurities. The separating device includes: a case; an insertion port for inserting the material into the case on an airflow; a rotation member in the case for agitating and opening the material; and a discharge port for discharging the liquid absorbent fibers from inside the case on an airflow. The rotation member has a revolving axis with an axial direction along a predetermined direction from the insertion port to the discharge port, and a shaft member rotating around a rotating axis that has been set with an axial direction along the predetermined direction, while revolving around the revolving axis. The shaft member has protruding sections protruding outward and intersecting with an axial direction of the shaft member.

A mobile screening apparatus includes a support chassis. The support chassis is configured for carrying at least one screening assembly having a top screen deck and at least one further screen deck below the top screen deck. At least at least one primary feed mechanism is configured for arrangement in communication with any one or more of the top and further screen decks to feed material to be screened onto said any one or more of the top and further screen decks.

The present invention relates to a mobile aggregate processing plant for screening aggregate material comprising a mobile chassis having a main frame and a vibrating screening unit mounted via one or more absorbers on a screen-mounting frame and able to provide at least one aggregate discharge stream therethrough, wherein the vibrating screening unit is moveable relative to the screen-mounting frame between a first in-use position, and at least a second position able to provide an access portal below the vibrating screening unit when not in use.

A screen belt system for a beach cleaning vehicle, including a flexible, sheet-type screen belt arrangement which is deflected by at least two deflection shafts, with at least one thereof being driven by a drive unit. The screen belt arrangement is provided with lengthwise extending outer straps on opposite longitudinal sides, and has at least one screen belt fabric. Transversely extending reinforcing profiles are also provided, each extending over a working width of the at least one screen belt fabric and being connected to the at least one screen belt fabric and attached to the outer straps on the face end side.

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) compositions, methods for producing TPU compositions, methods of using TPU compositions, and apparatuses produced therefrom are disclosed. Disclosed TPU compositions include a thermoplastic polyurethane polymer, a heat stabilizer, a flow agent, and a filler material. The filler may be a glass fiber. Disclosed TPU compositions have improved thermal stability and improved flow properties suitable for injection molding of articles of manufacture having a large plurality of fine openings or pores. Articles produced from the composition have superior thermal stability, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance. Example articles include screening members for vibratory screening machines.
