A multi-zoned paddle screen apparatus 100 is disclosed for separating fiber from a liquid medium during, for example, a grain wet mill or dry grind process. The apparatus includes a housing 106 having first and second zones 108a, 108b situated adjacent one another along a length (L) of the housing 106. First and second screen sections 102a, 102b having a plurality of openings 104 may be situated lengthwise within the housing 106 corresponding with the first and second zones 108a, 108b, respectively. The first and second screen sections 102a, 102b have a circular cross-section, and the second screen section 102b has a larger diameter than the first screen section 102a. An elongated shaft 130 situated lengthwise within the screen sections 102a, 102b includes first and second conveyors 128a, 128b, which correspond with the first and second zones 108a, 108b, respectively, having a plurality of paddles 132. Each conveyor 128a, 128b is configured to move material in a direction along a length of the screen 102a, 102b. There may be more than two zones 108a, 108b.

A substantially vertical separating column of a waste-product treatment apparatus has a cylindrical body with holes in a lateral surface, inferiorly of a waste-product supply opening. A bladed shaft rotates coaxially inside the cylindrical body. A first discharge mouth in an upper part of the cylindrical body expels a first waste-product recycling fraction, the fraction separated and transported upwards by the bladed shaft. A dilution group along the separating column supplies dilution liquid internally of the cylindrical body. A second discharge mouth in the lower part of the cylindrical body evacuates a second recycling fraction. A discharge conduit and a screw extend parallel to a tangent to the cylindrical body, facilitating extraction of the first recycling fraction to the discharge conduit. The bladed shaft comprises a rotor and, in proximity of the upper end, a plate fixed to a lateral rotor surface and arranged radially.

A machine for the integral processing of hard or soft shelled nuts herein proposed comprises a feeding hopper and at least one receptacle having a first end for connection to said hopper and a second opposite end, where said receptacle is located in a horizontal position according to the longitudinal direction of the machine and comprises therein a central shaft located according to the longitudinal direction thereof and connected at one end to a rotating element, where said central shaft has finger-like elements projecting radially outwards from various longitudinal positions thereof.

A separation device includes a first shredding unit, a first beating unit, and a first separation unit. The first shredding unit shreds a disposable diaper (processing target) containing a plastic (first material) and a water-absorbent polymer (second material) adhering to the plastic. The first beating unit beats the disposable diaper shredded by the first shredding unit with a first beating member, thereby promoting dissociation of the water-absorbent polymer from the plastic. The first separation unit rotates a first tubular portion in a state in which the disposable diaper beaten by the first beating unit is accommodated therein, thereby separating the water-absorbent polymer passing through first holes from the disposable diaper.

A multi-zoned screening apparatus is disclosed for separating fiber from a liquid medium during, for example, a grain wet mill or dry grind process. The apparatus can include a housing having a first and second zone and situated adjacent one another along a length of the housing. A cylindrical screen having a plurality of openings is situated lengthwise within the housing to correspond with the first and second zones. A conveyor is situated lengthwise within the screen and includes an elongated shaft having a first and second conveyor section and along a length of the conveyor that corresponds with the first and second zones, respectively. Each conveyor section is configured to move material in a direction along a length of the screen. In one example, the first conveyor section includes vanes and a ribbon flight helically winding about the vanes, and the second conveyor section includes a plurality of paddles.
