A screen panel for a vibratory machine is disclosed. The screen panel can include a reinforcing structure having a top surface. The reinforcing structure can define a plurality of apertures through the reinforcing structure. A polymer layer can have a bottom surface that is arranged over the top surface of the reinforcing structure. The polymer layer can define a plurality of apertures therethrough. Each aperture of the plurality of apertures of the polymer layer can be aligned with a single respective aperture of the plurality of apertures of the reinforcing structure.

The invention describes separation systems and methods for separating solids and liquids from one another. The system includes a rotating screen for supporting a slurry of solids and liquid. A fluid manifold is configured to the lower surface of the screen for applying a downward vacuum force through the screen. A cleaning manifold is configured to the screen for cleaning the screen.

This invention relates generally to a filtration process and apparatus for separating valuable or harmful process liquids from mixtures or slurries that contain such liquids and solid particles. In particular, the invention relates to a filtration process for separating Process Liquid from a feed slurry that comprises a mixture of the Process Liquid and solid particles, the process employing a Sweep Liquid that is less dense than the Process Liquid.

A system and method for coffee bean processing that includes a bean refinement chute with a bean grind inlet and a refined grind outlet; a filter system integrated into at least one surface within the chute; a vibration system operable in an active state that agitates bean grinds during progression from the bean grind inlet to the refined grind outlet; a refined grind chamber positioned adjacent to the refined grind outlet and thereby collects refined grinds; and a filtered grind chamber positioned beneath the filter system and thereby collects filtered grinds.

The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to an absorptive solid (e.g., an animal bedding) produced from a microcrop such as Lemna. An absorptive solid of the present disclosure may comprise (i) an odor-absorbing amount of chlorophyll, and (ii) a carbohydrate extracted from a microcrop, the carbohydrate itself comprising at least some of the odor-absorbing amount of chlorophyll. A process for generating an absorptive solid may comprise the actions of: (i) lysing a microcrop consisting of at least one photosynthetic aquatic species to generate a lysed microcrop; (ii) separating the lysed microcrop into a solid fraction and a juice fraction; (iii) separating the solid fraction to form a solid; and at least one of: (a) milling the solid to generate an absorptive powder, (b) shaping the solid to generate the absorptive pellet or an absorptive granule; and (c) extruding the solid to generate an absorptive extrudate.

The present technology is directed to fluid filtration systems having enhanced momentum cleaning devices for filter belts and associated systems and methods. In some embodiments, for example, a filtering system includes a fluid channel having a continuous-loop filter belt positioned therein. The filter belt can be configured to trap contaminants while allowing fluid to pass through the filter belt. The system further includes a first cleaning device proximate to the filter belt and a second cleaning device proximate to the filter belt and downstream of the first cleaning device. In particular embodiments the first cleaning device is a scraping blade that presses against the filter belt and the second cleaning device is one of a wave form, vibrational, or mixed-phase stream energy delivery device.
