An apparatus for producing pozzolanic material from consumer waste includes a glass separator unit to remove glass material from the waste and a size reduction unit downstream the glass separator unit. The glass separator unit includes a tubular outer member and an inner helical member extending inwardly from the inner surface of the tubular outer member and defining an open central bore. The tubular outer member and the open central bore define respective coaxial longitudinal axes that are disposed at an angle relative to a horizontal reference plane, with the inlet higher than the outlet. Non-glass/non-ceramic material is output through the open outlet end of tubular outer member utilizing a flow of water. The glass/ceramic material is output to the size reduction unit through the open inlet end of the tubular outer member utilizing the rotating inner helical member of the glass separator unit.

Disclosed is a system for filtering trichomes from plants received from an ice bath tank. The ice bath solution is filtered, and then waste water is drained. The filtration system includes nested vertically stacked filter modules. Each module includes a filter that is more restrictive than the filter above it. A vibrating device is attached to the cylindrical exterior of the device using a clamp arrangement.
