A screen cloth for use in a screening device for screening out oversize objects, including oil sand lumps and rocks, is disclosed comprising a supporting structure comprising two mutually opposing lateral attachment elements and a plurality of transverse stiffeners extending therebetween; and a plurality of screen segments, each screen segment having a plurality of openings, and each screen segment comprising a steel base and a plurality of anti-wear tiles attached thereon; whereby the plurality of screen segments are attached to the support structure to form a screening portion of the screen cloth.

A secondary impurity-removal recycling system for refining cotton is provided. A first feeding opening is set on the side of the first bin shell, in which the first drum is movably installed, and the first drum is tube shaped. A first mesh is set on the peripheral wall of the first drum, and a first scraper is set at the first feeding opening inside the first bin shell. One end of the first drum is provided with a first impurity-discharging pipe, the outer periphery of which is provided with a first annular hump. The first connecting sleeve is installed on the outer wall of the first bin shell, and the first impurity-discharging pipe is movably stuck in the first connecting sleeve through the first annular hump, and communicates with the first connecting sleeve. The first induced draft fan communicates with the first connecting sleeve through a first air duct.

A housing inlet for a sifter includes a scalping screen sloped downward in a first direction. The housing inlet also includes a pan positioned at least partially below the scalping screen. The pan is sloped downward in a second direction that is different than the first direction.

Example implementations provide a control system to control a system for actuating a sieve, the system comprising an actuator mechanism to actuate the sieve to produce a sieving action to sieve a particulate within the sieve, and a sensor to determine an electrical characteristic associated with the actuator mechanism; the controller comprising circuitry to determine the amount of the particulate within the sieve in response to the determined electrical characteristic associated with the actuator mechanism.

This invention relates to a sieving apparatus and method for separating solid particles above a predetermined size from a fluid by carrying the solids-containing fluid across at least one sieving cloth in a frame connected to a shaking device for providing shaking motion. The sieving apparatus includes an inlet portion for receiving solids-containing fluid, a discharge portion for solids that have been carried across the at least one sieving cloth and an outlet portion for fluid that has passed through the sieving cloth. The sieving apparatus further includes at least one endless sieving cloth arranged for rotating around at least two spaced-apart turning-rollers, at least one being connected to a motor, and a pumping device in fluid communication with a suction nozzle located proximate an underside of the endless sieving cloth between two of the turning-rollers, to produce a fluid flow through at least a portion of the endless sieving cloth.

A plant product extraction apparatus or extractor is provided for separating or grading fine particles from a larger portion of material, such as separating trichomes from a stalk or flower of a plant. The apparatus imparts a plurality modes or patterns of oscillations and vibrations to a particle separator or sieve that holds the plant matter. A motor drives a back and forth motion to a support platform supporting a sieve. The sieve is constrained by a retention tray that is supported by the support platform. Vibratory motors provide rapid shaking vibration through the retention tray to the sieve. Agitators may be placed inside of the sieve to facilitate the separation of the plant materials. The various motors and locomotion patterns facilitate the separation of finer plant materials from a larger portion of a plant.

A method of recycling build material powder including collecting in a keg an amount of excess build material powder during the additive manufacturing of a part cake. The part cake and keg are transferred to a de-powdering station. The part cake is de-powdered to release a mixture of reusable powder and contaminants. The mixture is sieved to remove the contaminants and deposit the reusable powder to the keg.
