A process for producing an optimized granular material producing a granular material in a granulating mixer having a container and a stirrer tool, and comminuting at least a part of the granular material in a granular material conditioner which has two elements which move relative to each other, and granular material is passed through a gap between the two elements.

Processing of baled material includes a bale opening stage, a separation stage, and a decortication stage. The bale opener features a conveyor moving incoming bales toward a toothed extractor with an array of teeth driven on a revolutionary path moving upwardly past the adjacent end of the conveyor to rake through the bale and extract material therefrom. The conveyor tilts upward reduce a working angle between the conveyor and the toothed extractor to urge the shrinking bale toward the moving teeth. A separation stage features multiple sets of vertically stacked, counter-rotating rollers with different characteristics from one set to the next. A decorticator has an external container, an internal drum rotatably supported therein, and an array of teeth on the drum. Driven rotation of the internal drum spins the fibrous stalks around the internal drum and impacts the fibrous stalks against surrounding interior wall surfaces of the external container.

An apparatus for remediation of a copper and nickel co-contaminated soil includes a housing. A crushing device is arranged at the upper part of the inside of the housing. A stirring device is arranged below the crushing device. An anode electrode and a cathode electrode are provided at both ends of the inner bottom of the housing, respectively. In the present invention, the soil contaminated by copper and nickel is first poured from the top of the crushing device, and then crushed thoroughly under the action of the crushing device. The crushed soil facilitates the movement of copper and nickel metal ions therein toward the electrodes under the action of the anode electrode and the cathode electrode, thereby achieving optimal soil remediation.

The present invention “Production process of nixtamalized maize flour, nixtamalizing the maize fractions separately without producing nejayote”, considers the integration of the processes: Semi-humid milling of the maize (fractionated degerm), extruding of the maize fractions and milling-instant dehydration of the different nixtamalized and extruded maize fractions, has as novelty the way in which the nixtamalization process is carried out and the objective is to provide a nixtamalized maize flour production system that reduces the residues from the maize grain and completely eliminating nejayote production.

A method for producing animal bedding is provided. A juniper tree is cut at ground level, the juniper tree having needles and a trunk. The tree is naturally dried until the needles are brown, then ground using a screen less than 3 inches. The ground juniper is hammer milled and dust of 20 mesh minus is extracted from the hammer milled tree, which is then placed in a bagging machine and dust is vacuumed from the juniper tree. The juniper tree is then bagged.

A system and method for processing a supply of post-consumer scrap linear low density or low density polyethylene film into near-virgin quality blown film product. The method includes tearing the supply of film in a shredder, wherein the surface area of the film is exposed, including delaminating the film. The torn supply of film is washed in a water bath including a surfactant. The film is agitated in the bath containing the surfactant wherein contaminants on the film are removed from the film. The washed film is ground into smaller pieces and additional washing of the ground film in a rotating friction washer and a sink float tank occurs wherein additional contaminants are removed from the film. The ground film is then dried and compacted without addition of water into granulated objects of near-virgin quality blown film product.
