A fluidized inertia table for separating materials between an upstream delivery station and a downstream receiving station is provided. The fluidized inertia table for separating materials creates a moment of inertia and/or rotary motion which are then translated into reciprocating or jarring motions and separates the materials loaded onto the tray.

A method of grading and washing sand including the steps of removing oversize material from a feed material to which water is added on a first grading screen, whereby the oversize material passes over a downstream end of an apertured deck of the first grading screen, undersize material and water passing through the apertured deck being collected in a sump of the first grading screen before being passed onto an apertured deck of a second grading screen having apertures of a smaller size than those of the deck of the first grading screen, oversize material passing over a downstream end of the second grading screen, pumping water and undersize material from a sump of the second grading screen to a washing stage to remove fine contaminants therefrom.

A sorting station is provided with a deck screener including at least one filter and a fluid source configured to supply a fluid; a chute in fluid communication with the deck screener; a drying station in fluid communication with the chute; a settler in fluid communication with the drying station and the chute; and wherein the fluid is configured to wash matter disposed onto the deck screener. Methods of sorting a particular matter from a mixture of matters, and processes of filtering soil are also provided.

An aggregate processing system, including a water source, and a vibrating screen device including a plurality of spray nozzles disposed above a screen for spraying wash water onto aggregate during aggregate processing. A strainer device is provided for removing particulate debris from a water wash stream flowing from a water source to the spray nozzles, the strainer device including a filter screen having an angled shape with a convex side facing the strainer inlet and fluid flow path. The strainer is configured to induce turbulent flow for separation of the particulates by gravity, with the filter screen blocking particulates above a given size. In this manner, particulates which may otherwise lead to clogging of the spray nozzles are removed from the wash water stream.

A sorting station is provided with a hopper, at least one conveyor belt, a deck screener, including at least one mesh screen and at least one spray bar, a chute, having a tapering form, a prep screw, a dewatering screen, wherein the deck screener is configured to have vibration applied thereto to separate a matter from a mixture of matters, and where the at least one spray bar is configured to wash the mixture of matter and further separate a selected matter from the mixture of matters. Methods of sorting a particular matter from a mixture of matters, and processes of filtering soil are also provided.
