A centrifugal screen filter and methods of assembly to accommodate variability in batch centrifuges by utilizing two different style joint connections when assembling the individual screen panels to form the centrifugal screen filter. A first joint configuration can include a fixation member that fixes the first joint configuration relative to the batch centrifuge by engaging the batch centrifuge. A second joint configuration can utilize an elongated, compressible member to provide flexibility and scaling capability to additional joint connections between adjacent screen panels. The centrifugal screen filter can utilize only a single first joint configuration with the remaining connections being of the second joint configuration. Alternatively, the centrifugal screen filter can be constructed utilizing one or more pairs of first joint configurations, wherein the pair or pairs of first joint configurations are located in opposed positions of the centrifugal screen filter and the remaining connections are of the second joint configuration.

A batch centrifuge having a filter screen that can be expeditiously removed and replaced and that is more rigid and more durable than filter screens that are typically employed in current practice. The batch centrifuge may include a centrifuge basket and a cylindrical filter screen disposed within the centrifuge basket, wherein the filter screen is formed of a plurality of curved panels that fit together at adjoining edges. In some embodiments, each of the curved panels may be small enough to fit through an opening in the top of the centrifuge basket without being bent or otherwise deformed.

A removable bin for a dryer comprises a substantially circular floor portion and a wall portion. The wall portion comprises an upper portion and a lower portion. The lower portion comprises a plurality of zones arranged along a height of the lower portion and extending along a perimeter of the lower portion. Each zone defines a respective area of the lower portion. Each of the zones comprises a number of openings for drainage, and each zone has a respective density of openings. Each of the openings is defined by one or more circumferential edges, with the circumferential edges being molded. The respective density of openings in each of the zones increases towards the bottom of the bin.

The present disclosure describes a disc-like apparatus and method of its use allowing for the one-step concentration and separation of therapeutic factors found in mammalian body fluid.

Screening apparatus includes a driving a shaft (12) into a screen housing (13) having a removable closure (14) and dividing wall (15) forming an underflow chamber (16) and an overflow chamber (17). The shaft (12) supports and drives an screen (21) comprising a plate steel basket carrier portion (22) axially spaced from intermediate ring frames (23) and an outer frame ring and flange (24), all interconnected by circumferentially spaced stringers (25) to form an all-welded, integral, generally truncated-conical screen (21) cage. The cage supports a wedge wire screening surface (26). The closure (14) and housing (13) mutually support an inlet assembly (27) comprising a chute (32) feeding the water and coarse coal to the inner end of the screen assembly (21). The integral, all welded screen (21) may be replaced as a unit without refurbishment.
