A system including a vibratory separator includes at least one screen and a pressure differential system. The pressure differential system includes a pressure differential generating device, a tray coupled to the pressure differential generating device, and an adjustable mounting mechanism configured to couple the tray within the vibratory separator and adjust a distance between the tray and the at least one screen of the vibratory separator.

An oven and a display panel manufacturing apparatus are disclosed. The oven includes: an accommodation device; a suction device configured to deliver gas into the oven; a gas inlet passage configured to convey hot gas into the accommodation device; a gas return passage configured to return the hot gas sent out from the accommodation device back to the gas inlet passage; and a first filtering device located inside the gas return passage.

A process for drying grain wherein a fan cooperates with a heater to flow air through grain that is wetter than a target, wherein the fan is operated at full speed and the heater is varied in output to operably compensate for changes in the air and in particular to raise the amount of water vapor the circulating air removes from the grain.

The herein described invention is a Negative Pressure Drying Apparatus. The preferred embodiment of the Negative Pressure Drying Apparatus is designed for drying saturated baseballs; however, the Negative Pressure Drying Apparatus could be used to dry most any article that would fit within the drying receptacle. The Negative Pressure uses mechanical means of moving air, generally an outward blowing fan mounted to a first end of a drying receptacle, which is comprised of a plurality of intake holes at a second end of the drying receptacle. The outward blowing fan creates negative pressure within the drying receptacle due to the output of the fan exceeding the intake of air through the intake holes. The negative pressure within the drying receptacle accelerates drying by drawing moisture out of the saturated articles.

A device (1) for drying and sanitising organic waste materials, comprising a container body (10) for housing the waste materials to be dried and provided with an inlet (16) for the materials to be dried and an outlet (17) for the dried materials, mixing elements (20) located in the container body (10) and provided with at least a blade (21) able to mix the materials to be dried and sanitised, projectingly supported by a rotating shaft (23), a ventilation circuit (30) able to generate a forced ventilation of air internally of the container body (10), and comprising generator means (33) of an air flow located externally of the container body (10) communicating with at least a dispenser nozzle (34) located internally of the container body (10), in which the at least a dispenser nozzle (34) is associated to the at least a blade (21) able to mix the waste materials located in the container body (10) wherein it comprises at least a temperature sensor (42) configured such as to measure a temperature internally of the container body (10) and in that it comprises a control system which receives a signal from the at least a temperature sensor (42) and is able to control the air flow injected into the container body (10) by the ventilation circuit (30) as a function of the signal received from the temperature sensor (42).

A bin and method of use for containment and delivery of particulate materials has: a) a housing; b) a particulate materials support plate within the housing, the support plate having a porous structure allowing air flow therethrough; c) the support plate having a central area elevated away from the bottom of the housing and surrounding sides; d) an air flow area between the bottom of the housing and the support plate; e) a particle drop region surrounding the sides of the support plate; and f) a sealing and/or opening component within the particle drop region that seals and opens a particle drop path between the support plate and the side walls of the housing. The sealing and opening component has an expanded position when sealing the particle drop region and is in a retracted position when opening the particle drop region to particulate material passage.

A desolventizer for processing solvent-wet solid material may include a thermal recirculation loop to increase thermal performance. In some examples, the desolventizer includes a housing, an ejector, and a vent. The housing contains a first tray and a second tray vertically elevated above the first tray to define a processing space. The ejector has an inlet located between the first tray and the second tray and an outlet also located between the first tray and the second tray. The vent has an inlet located between the first tray and the second tray. In operation, the ejector can draw gas from the processing space via the inlet and discharge the gas through the outlet back into the processing space, creating a recirculation loop.

An apparatus is provided for feeding slurry to a recycling or slurry treatment process at an elevated location. The apparatus includes a reception hopper for receiving the slurry from a transport vehicle, and a bucket elevator for conveying the slurry from a loading zone, in communication with the reception hopper, to a discharge zone at an elevated location. The reception hopper includes a trough having parallel side walls and a bottom wall. The loading zone of the bucket elevator communicates with a first end of the trough, the trough including a movable wall extending perpendicular to the side walls of the reception hopper and being movable towards the first end of the trough to urge slurry towards the loading zone of the bucket elevator.
