Abstract: According to an aspect of the disclosure, a vibratory apparatus includes a trough having a deck, the deck defined by a plurality of modular deck pieces connected to each other. The apparatus also includes a plurality of resilient members attached to the trough and supporting the trough, and a vibration generator coupled to the trough.

Abstract: A vibratory system for asbestos treatment includes a trough with a heat-resistant liner, an opening, and a discharge end. The system also includes a transportation sub-system including a frame that may be coupled to the trough, as well as a vibration generator and resilient members coupled to the frame. Further, the system includes a heating sub-system including a furnace that may be disposed across the opening. A method for asbestos treatment includes disposing the asbestos in the trough, disposing the furnace across the opening, heating the asbestos in the trough to render the asbestos inert, vibrating the trough to move the inert asbestos along the trough to the discharge end, and collecting the inert asbestos from the trough.

Abstract: A vibratory apparatus includes a surface having an input end and an output end, and a vibratory generator coupled to the surface to cause material to move along the surface. The apparatus also includes a barrier coupled to the surface and having a plurality of openings disposed therethrough to provide for controlled passage of materials from an upstream side of the barrier to a downstream side, and a solid gate disposed to one side of the barrier, the gate moveable relative to the barrier between a first position wherein a first portion of the plurality of openings are occluded and a second position wherein a second portion of the plurality of openings are occluded, the first portion being different than the second portion. A method of operating such an apparatus is also provided.
