An integrated sieve device for particle size screening of a soil sample is provided, the device comprising: a particle size screening unit having at least one sieve and configured to screen the soil sample by particle sizes and to drop the soil sample; a body housing in a cylindrical shape, wherein a part of a lateral surface of the body housing is open, wherein the particle size screening unit is detachably coupled to an inner lateral surface of the body housing; a sample reception unit mounted at a lower portion of the particle size screening unit coupled to the body housing and configured to collect soil and water discharged below the particle size screening unit by being screened by the sieve; and a water supply unit mounted at an inlet formed on an upper end of the body housing and configured to supply water into the particle size screening unit.

Aqueous slurry which includes solid foreign matter and paper dust is pressed by means of a screw press, provided with a mesh having openings not less than 1.5 mm and not greater than 3 mm, to separate the aqueous slurry into the solid foreign matter and the paper dust, and liquid component passing through the mesh. Then, the liquid component is sieved by means of a sieve having openings not greater than 1 mm to separate from the liquid component the solid foreign matter and the paper dust.

A fluidized bed separator (1) includes a feed section (4) between an upper separation chamber (19) and a main separation chamber (6). The feed section (4) has one or more feed pipes (11) extending horizontally and transversely with respect to a body wall (10) of the fluidized bed separator (1). The one or more feed pipes (11) are positioned completely and entirely underneath the inclined plates (17). An external oversize protection apparatus (3) which is separate from and external to the body wall (10) may be operatively coupled to the one or more feed pipes (11). One or more lamella cartridges (49) may be provided within channels (18) of the upper separation chamber (19), and one or more breakaway plates (54, 55) may be inserted within channels (18) to prevent sanding and facilitate insertion and extraction of the lamella cartridges (49).
