A method for recording motion patterns (210) of tumbler screening machines (410) is disclosed, wherein the method comprises applying of an active or passive optical marking (500, 510) at a tumbler screening machine (410), recording an image of the optical marking (500, 510) during operation of the tumbler screening machine (410), establishing image data for a motion curve (200), and internally or externally evaluating the recorded image data and determining machine parameters and diagnosis data. Furthermore, a device for recording motion patterns (210) of tumbler screening machines (410) is introduced.

A system and method for separating and collecting cannabis through separates cannabis into plant material, chaff, seeds, and kief; and then collects cannabis byproducts based on size, shape, and weight through separators, including, a screw conveyor, a mechanical vibrator, an ultrasonic mechanism, and a series of stacked classifiers. The method includes: loading unprocessed cannabis into an intake chamber; grinding the cannabis to reduce the size of plant material; carrying the cannabis upwardly through an inclined tube; delivering the cannabis to an elevated terminus at the upper end of the tube; passing the cannabis through stacked classifiers; shaking the cannabis to dislodge oil glands, resin trichomes, and kief from plant material; directing high frequency sound waves towards the cannabis to dislodge oil glands, resin trichomes, and kief from the plant material; and collecting herbaceous plant material, chaff, seeds, oil glands, and kief residue in separate containers.

An apparatus includes an outer bearing member defining a cavity and an inner bearing member disposed within the cavity. The inner bearing member includes a spherical surface and a rod attachment opening defined in the spherical surface. The apparatus also includes an elastomeric material disposed within the cavity adjacent to the spherical surface.

Apparatus and vibratory separators having a base, a separator housing movably connected with the base, the separator housing including a top having an inlet chute, a bottom having a liquid discharge chute, a cylindrical sidewall defining an axial centerline and having a discharge spout, and at least one screen mounted within the separator housing. A vacuum system proximate the at least one screen may also be incorporated. The apparatus further includes at least one circular force generator (CFG) disposed on the separator housing, and at least one sensor positioned on the apparatus for measuring an operating function associated with and enabled by the vibration profile, and a controller in electronic communication with the sensor and with the at least one CFG. The difference between the measured operating function and the prescribed operating function is reduced. The apparatus may also include at least one CFG having a plurality of imbalanced masses which rotate in a plane parallel the axial centerline. The CFG may be disposed in an annular ring arrangement on the top, on the bottom, or CFGs disposed on both the top and the bottom.
