The present disclosure relates to livestock feed sorting assemblies and methods of using same. In particular, assemblies and methods find use in preparing feed rations for livestock, such as dairy cattle and beef cattle.

A mobile mineral material processing station has a mobile platform having tracks or wheels or a skids for supporting or forming a body that supports in line, in a transport configuration: a feed conveyor; a screen frame and a multi-layer screen; first and second exit conveyors; and a third exit conveyor on top of the first and second exit conveyors. The first exit conveyor turns from a transport position, under the third exit conveyor, to a first operation direction, onto a first side of the station, for operating the station, and back. The second exit conveyor turns from a transport position, under the third exit conveyor, to a second operation direction onto a second side of the station, opposite to the first side, and back.

A mobile multi-deck screening apparatus receives material for screening with a feeder of the apparatus. A first screen deck receives and screens material from the feed. A second screen deck receives an undersize fraction of the first screen deck. First and second discharge conveyors output oversize fractions of the first and second screen decks. The first and second discharge conveyors pivot to operate in directions selected between a first direction and a second direction. The first direction is forward. The second direction differs from the first direction. One or both of the first and second discharge conveyors is/are pivotable from one side to an opposite side of the apparatus. Oversize fraction material of the first screen deck and oversize fraction material of the second screen deck are selectively discharged in a common pile.

A shot peening efficiency system for separating reusable abrasive media from non-reusable media includes a housing having an opening configured to receive an abrasive media inlet valve; and a separator assembly disposed within the housing, the separator assembly comprising at least one mesh screen and at least one vibratory motor. The housing includes a main channel having a first channel for reusable abrasive media and a second channel for non-reusable abrasive media. The separator assembly is configured to separate reusable abrasive media from non-reusable abrasive media by passing the reusable abrasive media via the first channel and by passing the non-reusable abrasive media via the second channel. The first channel terminates at a reusable abrasive media outlet valve connected to at least one first abrasive media hopper; the second channel terminates at an abrasive media discard outlet valve connected to at least one second abrasive media hopper.

An object-sorting apparatus includes a housing that extends from a top end to a bottom end, at least one vibration element, and a plurality of stages arranged in a vertical sequence in the housing between the top end and the bottom end. At least one of the stages includes a sorting base that at least partially defines a floor of the at least one stage. The sorting base is coupled to the at least one vibration element, and is configured to receive thereon a mixture of objects having different sizes, including a target size associated with the at least one stage. The stage also includes apertures defined in and extending through the sorting base and into flow communication with a next lower stage. The apertures are sized to receive therethrough, from the mixture, objects having a size smaller than the target size associated with the at least one stage.

Aggregate washing systems are described including mechanisms for slurrying, washing and/or dewatering aggregate material.
