The present disclosure relates to a system for processing a mixed proppant at a wellsite for a well, the system including a separator including a screen configured to receive the mixed proppant that includes a proppant meeting a desired size criteria and an oversized proppant exceeding the desired size criteria, sort the proppant from the oversized proppant, direct the proppant along a primary flow path to a blender, and direct the oversized proppant along a diverted flow path to a reducer. The reducer is operable to process the oversized proppant into a processed proppant that meets the desired size criteria.

A filter insert is sized to fit into a fuel pellet handling bucket and has a filter floor elevated by a plurality of standoffs to define a space below the screen mesh fuel insert.

A highbanker may be used with sluice mats to separate heavier metals from placer deposit. The highbanker includes a hopper assembly, a trough assembly, a brace member, and a plurality of legs. The trough assembly includes first and second trough sections. The first trough section includes a first surface and is pivotably connected to the hopper assembly. The second trough section includes a second surface, with the second trough section being removably attachable to the first trough section. The brace member extends between the trough assembly and the hopper assembly. The plurality of legs is removably attachable to the trough assembly. In an assembled configuration, the second trough section is attached to the first trough section so that the first surface and the second surface define a substantially continuous surface for accepting the sluice mats. In a nested configuration, the second trough section is nested within the first trough section.

A device and a method for the separation of elongated parts (long parts) from bulk materials. The device comprises a conveying device (1), a deflecting device (2) and a rake with webs (4) being oriented longitudinally to the conveying direction. According to the method, the bulk material is transported on the conveying device (1), and then long parts (10) are oriented by means of a deflecting device (2) transversely to the conveying direction. After passing through the deflecting device (2), the transversely oriented long parts are transferred to the rake (4) and discharged as coarse materials (7). Compact parts (11) fall through this rake and thus end up in the fine material (6).

A method of operating an apparatus for the comminution of a botanical feedstock wherein a blade that is positioned above a screen and the blade is rotated at a rate of rotation, wherein the trailing portion of the blade generates turbulence that induces upward movement of cut and partially cut feedstock from the upper surface of the screen to a plane of rotation of the cutting edge of the blade.

A sliding drawer sifter apparatus for sorting plant buds by size includes a frame having a set of drawers comprising a top drawer, a middle drawer, and a bottom draw. Each of the set of drawers has a handle and an inner lip. A set of sifter grates each has a grate perimeter selectively engageable with the inner lip of each of the drawers and a grate body coupled within the grate perimeter. The set of sifter grates comprises a top grate, a middle grate, and a bottom grate. The grate body of the bottom grate is finer than the grate body of the middle grate. The grate body of the middle grate is finer than the grate body of the top grate. The top grate, the middle grate, and the bottom grate are configured to sort progressively smaller plant buds into the set of drawers.
