A horizontal axis rotary separation apparatus is deployed in a process for separating resinous trichomes rich in flavoring, aromatic and/or medicinal components produced in plant trichome glands from unwanted plant matter. The process physically separates resin rich beads at the trichome gland head from extraneous plant matter by one or move separation sieves. The sieves are provided in or as a casing over a rigid frame member. The sieves are mesh fabric bags or screen that are easily opened and replenished in a batch operating mode, and are removable from the frame for cleaning and maintenance. Other aspects of the invention include processes that improve process efficiency and speed, and yield products of superior quality.

A dust filter is configured to filter air drawn into a vehicle canister. The dust filter includes a first portion including a first engaging portion and a second portion including a second engaging portion. The second portion is attached to the first portion by engagement of the second engaging portion with the first engaging portion. The first portion includes a filtration member and a case. The case includes an inner chamber within which the filtration member is disposed. The case includes a drainage port configured to drain liquid that has infiltrated the inner chamber. The second portion is attached to the first portion to form a cover that covers the drainage port together with the first portion. The cover has an outlet that opens to the outside at a position lower than the drainage port.

A negative pressure-side flow path having a negative pressure-side filter and a positive pressure-side flow path having a positive pressure-side filter are connected in parallel between a first port and a second port, and a shuttle valve is installed between the negative pressure-side flow path and the positive pressure-side flow path, and the first port, thus when a negative pressure is supplied to the first port, the first port is caused to communicate with the second port through the negative pressure-side flow path, and when a positive pressure is supplied to the first port, the first port is caused to communicate with the second port through the positive pressure-side flow path.

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for removing an aerosol generated during a printing process. In an example there is disclosed a device which may comprise an air suction device, an air flow baffle, an aerosol absorber, and a droplet filter. The air suction device may draw air away from an area around a printhead nozzle, past the air flow baffle, through the droplet filter, towards the air suction device. The air flow baffle may cause a change in air flow direction such that at least some aerosol droplets contact the aerosol absorber.

The invention relates to a method for intermittently cleaning a filter in a filter device, which filter device comprises a filter housing and the filter located therein. The filter housing has a medium inlet and a medium outlet for a medium to be filtered. During filter operation, the medium flowing through the medium inlet passes through the filter and exits the filter device via the medium outlet. In order to clean the filter, both the medium inlet and the medium outlet are closed and a negative pressure is produced in the filter housing and a flushing medium is sucked into the filter housing by the negative pressure.

A filter assembly including a housing (15) and a filter cartridge (10). The housing has a housing inlet (16) and a housing outlet (17). The filter cartridge (10) has a filter inlet (11) fluidly connected to the housing inlet (16) and a filter element (12) between a top cap (18) and a bottom cap (19). The top cap (18) and the bottom cap (19) create a circular guiding system. The bottom cap (19) has a first part (19a) that receives the filter element (12) and a second part (19b) that is connected with a mating surface (20) of the housing. The second part has a first circular section (21a) and a second section (21b) and the first section has another shape than the second section (21b), such that the bottom cap (19) cannot rotate in relation to the mating surface.

A dust collecting system includes a power tool and a stationary dust collector. The power tool is configured to perform processing operation on a workpiece by driving a tool accessory. The stationary dust collector is configured to be placed separately from the power tool and to collect dust generated by the processing operation. The power tool includes a first motor and a driving mechanism configured to drive the tool accessory by power of the first motor. The dust collector includes a second motor and a fan configured to be rotationally driven by the second motor to generate air flow for collecting dust. The dust collecting system includes a control device configured to control a rotation speed of the second motor according to a driving state of the power tool.

A vacuum cleaner that includes a suction source configured to generate a suction airflow, a dirt collector in fluid communication with the suction source and configured to separate debris from the suction airflow and the dirt collector is configured to store the debris separated from the suction airflow. The vacuum further includes an infrared sensor operable to output a signal corresponding to a distance to an amount of debris stored in the dirt collector, a controller that receives the signal, and the controller is operable to determine a fill level stored in the dirt collector based on the signal. A visual display displays the fill level stored in the dirt collector.

A dust filtering and collection system for filtering dust and other debris particles from an incoming dust laden air stream, such air stream generally being used for conveying granular material into or from a bulk tank trailer, a railroad car, or other conveying vehicle, the filtering system designed to be functioned by vacuum air pressure, operatively generated by a blower, to draw in the soiled air into the filter system, to cleanse such air for further use in the conveying of the granular material. The air flow may be reversed, to provide for a dislodging of any dust particles from the filtering system, and to cleanse the filter for further efficient usage of the system in conveying granular material into or out of the tank trailer, or other vehicle during usage. The filter system includes a pod of filter tubes encapsulated by a polymer header that mounts to a transverse plate that secures to the approximate upper end of the filter canister of the filtration system.

The invention relates to a device for degassing and gassing containers (3), comprising at least one chamber in which an open container can be accommodated for a degassing and/or gassing process, wherein a cover element (26) for the accommodated open container (3) is provided in the chamber, wherein, for a degassing and/or gassing process, the cover element (26) can be sealingly placed on a container edge (31) of an accommodated open container (3) or into an interior of an accommodated open container (3) and wherein the cover element (26) has at least one opening (260) for a passage of gas. The invention also relates to a method for degassing and gassing.
