Abstract: A vibratory screener apparatus has a housing with upper and lower ends, the lower end having a first mounting area characterized by a first attachment diameter. A drive assembly is employed to vibrate the apparatus. The drive assembly has a second mounting area characterized by a second attachment diameter to mount the frame to the drive assembly. An adapter frame is disposed between the drive assembly and the lower end of the housing. The adapter frame has a first end and a second end, the first end is characterized by the first attachment diameter and is attached to the lower end of the housing. The second end is characterized by the second attachment diameter and attached is to the drive assembly.

Abstract: A vibrating fluid bed dryer includes a first dryer stage including a first fluid bed air distribution plate mounted therein, and also includes a first air inlet. A a second dryer stage that includes a second fluid bed air distribution plate mounted therein is positioned to receive material from the first dryer stage. The second dryer stage includes a second air inlet. A drive assembly is coupled to vibrate the first dryer stage and the second dryer stage. The first dryer stage may be coupled to a source of cooling air and the second dryer stage may be coupled to a source of warming air, or vice-versa, or both dryer stages may be coupled to a source or warming air or cooling air.

Abstract: A device for screening cohesive material, and for eliminating screen blinding, is disclosed. The device includes a transducer for transmitting ultrasonic frequency throughout the screen surface, with the transducer supported independently of the screen in order to prolong screen life and to lower screen replacement costs. The transducers are provided with adjustable mounting means in order to adjust the transducer position with respect to the screen.

Abstract: An agglomerator structure, used in conjunction with a sifting structure, is described to provide variable sized agglomerates and uniform agglomeration, using at least one cone, with apex pointing toward the feed flow, and an inverted cone with a screen below. The agglomerator structure is provided to enable convenient use in a sanitary environment, with the system including an agglomerator cone above the inverted cone, which defines a central opening for feeding the material to one or more screens. The system is primarily designed for use with a vibration-imparting structure to better enable use in a sanitary environment.
