A device, which serves to separate particles of a bulk material, which is deliverable at an input location and is removable processed in different or at least approximately unitary particle sizes at an output location, includes at least one separating element, which has a metal separating plate with through-openings provided therein, which separating element can be provided with ultrasonic energy and for this purpose is connected to an ultrasonic transducer and which is held by a holding device. The holding device is a mounting shaft, which is held at one end or at both ends fixedly or movably, in particular rotatably and/or axially displaceable, and which at one end or at both ends is connected to an ultrasonic transducer, by means of which ultrasonic energy is couplable via the mounting shaft into the separating element, which is designed to be dimensionally stable.

The invention relates to a screening element for screening and transporting grit material, for applying to a sanding device of a sanding apparatus for a vehicle. The screening element includes a plate element provided with a shaft-coupling mechanism, at least one through-opening, and at least one lug. The shaft-coupling mechanism is designed to couple the screening element to a shaft device of a rotary feeder of the sanding device. The through-opening is arranged in the plate element and is designed to guide grit material through the plate element. The lug extends transversely in relation to a main surface of the plate element, away from the plate element.

Provided are a slag crusher, a gasifier, an integrated gasification combined cycle, and an assembly method of a slag crusher that can ensure the strength of a guide rod. The slag crusher includes: a porous member screen; a spreader that is reciprocated in a predetermined direction along a top surface of the screen and crushes the slag accumulated on the screen; and a guide rod having an axis line along the predetermined direction, is connected to the spreader, and restricts a moving direction of the spreader, the guide rod has a spreader-side member connected to the spreader and a shaft member connected to the spreader-side member, the spreader-side member and the shaft member are connected by butt welding in the axis line direction, and the spreader-side member and the shaft member have the same shape of cross sections orthogonal to the axis line direction at a butt welding position.

A disclosed screening apparatus includes a subgrid, and a screen element attached to the subgrid via laser welding at a plurality of attachment positions such that, under vibrational excitation, the screen element has a pre-determined profile of vibrational motion relative to the subgrid. The screen element may be attached at a maximal number of attachment locations to the subgrid to minimize relative motion of the screen element and the subgrid under vibrational excitation, or the screen element may be attached a sub-set of the maximal number of attachment locations to allow vibrational motion of the screen element relative to the subgrid. A disclosed method may include attaching a plurality of screen elements to a respective plurality of subgrids, attaching the plurality of subgrids to one another to form a screening pre-assembly, and cutting edges of the screening pre-assembly to form the screen assembly having a perimeter with a pre-determined shape.

A screen assembly for vibratory separation includes a screen having a plurality of raised screen components formed therein, with each of the raised screen components defining a face oriented to oppose a flow direction of the screen assembly. In examples, a screen of the screen assembly is assembled from a plurality of metal cloth layers bonded together. Bonding of the metal cloth layers may be accomplished by a sintering process.

A shaker screen assembly comprising a support frame and a screen subassembly attached to the support frame is provided. The screen subassembly includes a planar panel that includes a plurality of undulation sealing tabs, and a mesh section attached to the planar panel. The mesh section includes a series of undulations, each undulation including an elongated base portion and an elongated raised portion. The mesh section is attached to the planar panel such that the elongated raised portions form a series of elongated open areas having open ends and an undulation sealing tab of the planar panel is positioned in each of the open ends. The undulation sealing tabs help prevent fluid from leaking or flowing through the open ends when the shaker screen assembly is in use.

A male population of mosquito pupae sorted according to a sorting method is described. The sorting method may include adding a mixed population of mosquito pupae into an interior volume of a sieving container including base defining a set of openings enabling movement of mosquito pupae from the interior volume through the set of openings. The mixed population of mosquito pupae may include male mosquito pupae and female mosquito pupae. The method may also include adding a volume of aqueous solution to the interior volume. The method may also include removing a portion of the male pupae from the mixed population of mosquito pupae to by performing a sieving action that causes the portion of the male pupae and a portion of the volume of water to pass from the interior volume through the set of openings. The method may also include capturing the portion of the male pupae as the male population of mosquito pupae after the portion of the male pupae has passed through the set of openings.
