A diversion assembly for use with a feed material. The diversion assembly includes a plurality of movable gate chutes, a first conveyor, and a second conveyor. The plurality of movable gate chutes are each positionable in a retracted position and an extended position. The first conveyor is configured to carry, for each of any of the plurality of movable gate chutes in the retracted position, a first portion of the feed material to a first area. The second conveyor is configured to carry, for each of any of the plurality of movable gate chutes in the extended position, a second portion of the feed material to a second area. The second area is spaced apart from the first area.

The present disclosure provides a backflow collection system and a method for reclaiming backflow from a wellbore. The backflow collection system, in one embodiment, includes a collection vessel having an upper section and a lower section, the collection vessel having a side opening configured to receive backflow from an oil/gas well, as well as a discharge port proximate an upper end of the upper section configured to discharge pressurized gas from the collection vessel. The backflow collection system, in this embodiment, further includes an elevated auger positioned in relation to the collection vessel and configured to receive solid and liquid matter from a bottom opening in the lower section of the collection vessel, the collection vessel designed such that when fluid is contained therein it acts as a liquid/gas seal to prevent the pressurized gas from exiting through the bottom opening in the lower section of the collection vessel.

An apparatus for discharging powder of a secondary battery includes a hopper having an accommodating space in which powder is accommodated and a discharge port through which the powder is discharged, a drive shaft at least partially disposed inside the hopper and having a shape extending in a first direction, a drive motor connected to the drive shaft and rotating the drive shaft, and a spiral blade connected to a circumferential surface of the drive shaft, wherein the spiral blade includes a first blade and a second blade having different radii.

The invention relates to a device for the heat treatment of a product, comprising an enclosure, means of conveyance inside the enclosure, which comprise a screw mounted so as to rotate in the enclosure about a geometrical rotational axis and means for rotating the screw about said axis, and means for heating the screw by Joule effect. According to the invention, the screw comprises a strip which is made of an electrically insulating material and is applied to the screw so as to form an outer circumference of the screw.

Provided is a backflow collection system that includes a collection vessel having an upper section and a lower section, the collection vessel having a side opening configured to receive backflow from an oil/gas well, as well as a discharge port proximate an upper end of the upper section configured to discharge pressurized gas from the collection vessel. The backflow collection system may further include an auger coupled proximate the lower section of the collection vessel, the auger configured to receive solid and liquid matter from a bottom opening in the lower section, and when elevated remove at least a portion of the solid and liquid matter from the collection vessel, the collection vessel designed such that when fluid is contained therein it acts as a liquid/gas seal to prevent the pressurized gas from exiting through the bottom opening in the lower section of the collection vessel.

A machine part for agricultural, turf, mining or construction equipment for processing material is provided. The machine part comprises a base material. A clad material is deposited on the base material to form at least one blunt edge along the body. The clad material comprises a second hardness greater than the first hardness.

A compact and transportable equipment adapted to be used for hydraulic fracturing operations on gas or oil fields includes a means for unloading powder polymer, a means for supplying a polymer powder to a silo, and a silo for storing polymer in powder form, the silo having inside a vertical screw located in a vertical pipe, the lower end of the shaft of the vertical screw extending outside of the silo. The equipment has a feed hopper of a polymer metering device, a device for metering out the powder polymer, at least one tank for hydrating and dissolving the dispersed polymer originating from the dispersing and grinding device, and at least one volumetric pump enabling injection and metering of the polymer solution. The lower end of the shaft of the vertical screw has a rotating ring, the rotating ring being perpendicularly fixed on the shaft and being equipped with at least three straight paddles, positioned perpendicularly to the horizontal plan of the ring.

A doser mechanism includes a cylindrical shell, an auger conveyor, and a check valve. The cylindrical shell includes a hollow cylinder and an end plate. The hollow cylinder at least partially defines an internal enclosure extending between first and second ends of the hollow cylinder, a first opening at the first end, and a second opening through a thickness of the hollow cylinder. The end plate covers the second end. The auger conveyor includes an auger at least partially extending through the internal enclosure through the first end. The check valve has a valve member configured to selectively cover the second opening. The check valve may cause the valve member to move between a rest position and an open position to cover or expose the second opening in response to a magnitude of a force applied to the valve member from the internal enclosure through the second opening.

An adjustable screw conveyor includes a plurality of adjustable helical blades disposed in an enclosure having an inlet at a first end of the enclosure and an outlet at a second end of the enclosure, where the plurality of adjustable helical blades includes a first blade and a second blade. The adjustable screw conveyor further includes the plurality of adjustable helical blades being coupled to a first shaft via a plurality of pitch adjustment modules, where a pitch between the first blade and the second blade of the plurality of adjustable helical blades is adjustable.
