A sheet manufacturing apparatus includes a screening unit having first openings for screening a defibrated material that is defibrating-processed; a refining unit that has second openings having sizes equal to or greater than sizes of the first openings and refines the defibrated material passing through the screening unit by causing the defibrated material to pass through the second openings; and a deposition unit on which the defibrated material passing through the refining unit is deposited.

A method for controlling a garbage disposer that includes a crushing unit, a housing that includes an inlet port and an outlet port, a storage body, a communication hole, and an agitation unit is disclosed. The method includes the actions of connecting the communication hole with the inlet port by rotating the storage body. The method further includes opening the communication hole by rotating the agitation unit. The method further includes crushing, by the crushing unit, garbage. The method further includes supplying garbage to the inlet port. The method further includes closing the communication hole by rotating the agitation unit. The method further includes dehydrating garbage stored in the storage body by rotating the agitation unit and the storage body at a first rotation speed while maintaining the communication hole in a closed state.

A deflector for a mobile material separating machine includes a deflector body hingedly attached to a trommel screen frame and a conveyor movable with respect to the trommel screen frame. The conveyor has a stowed position and an operating position. The deflector system also includes an automatic linkage pivotably attached to the deflector body and to the conveyor. The linkage moves and guides the deflector body when the conveyor moves between the stowed position and the operating position.

Methods and apparatuses for screening are provided. Embodiments include a screen basket apparatus for screening material, comprising a grid frame having a plurality of openings arranged in a lattice and a plurality of screening cartridge assemblies affixed to the grid frame to cover the respective openings of the grid frame. The screening cartridge assembly includes a case and a screen assembly fitted into the case, and may be affixed to a set of transversal member of the grid frame. The case may be formed of a single injection molded piece integrally formed by injection molding one of a polyurethane or a thermoset polymer. The screening elements together form a generally continuous screening surface across the exterior of the grid frame, which reduces blinding and is resistant to wear and tear.

A cylindrical screening device including a plurality of profile bars, in which a number of ring shaped bar holders are arranged perpendicular to a cylinder axis and spaced apart from one another, or bundles of a number of bar holders spaced apart from one another are provided on the inside or the outside with open-edged recesses. The shape of the recesses correspond in a substantially complementary manner to that of the feet of the profile bars. The profile bars are inserted into the recesses, parallel to one another and parallel to the cylinder axis, wherein an outer bar holder is in each case arranged in the region of a respective face-side end ring of the screening device. The attachment of the end ring is simplified in that the outer bar holder is detachably connected with the end ring.

Disclosed is a pruning and sieving apparatus, which resolves time-consuming and laborious problems in the existing pruning method of flower plants. The pruning and sieving apparatus includes a hollow body, including two relatively disposed open axial ends; an interior pruning lining attached inside the hollow body, where the interior pruning lining includes a plurality of sidewall pruning holes arranged in a distributed manner; a sieving screen, where the sieving screen includes a plurality of sieving holes arranged in a distributed manner, and is disposed in the interior pruning lining to divide the internal space of the interior pruning lining into a pruning chamber and a collection chamber; and two end caps disposed on the two open axial ends.

A material handling machine includes a substantially cylindrical tub having an inlet and outlet where the tub includes a ring configured internally to the tub. A hopper is used for directing materials entering the inlet and a grate covers the inlet for controlling the amount of material into the tub. An impeller is rotated using a motor for processing material singulated by the impeller and a basket sifts material from the impeller. The impeller is supported by the main spindle such that the at least one impeller and basket are interchangeable depending on the type of material.

A protective cover (10) for removably affixing to a trommel frame section (1) of a trommel device may be configured to protect portions of the trommel frame section (1) from abrasion and wear from screened material (30) being processed by the trommel device. The protective cover (10) may comprise a body (19); fixation members (11) extending from the body (19); one or more locking features (15) provided to the fixation members (11) for securing the body (19) to the trommel frame section (1); and, an opening (17) provided between the fixation members (11). A trommel device or trommel frame section (1)
