Abstract: A lock assembly for a vibratory separator includes a latch. The latch includes a first inner protrusion and a first outer protrusion. The first outer protrusion defines a first outer protrusion opening. The lock assembly also includes a first spacer. The first spacer includes a first fastener that is configured to be inserted into the first outer protrusion opening.

Abstract: Described herein are splitters for holding and distributing input material to one or more decks of a gyratory sifter, where the splitter distributes approximately an equal amount of input material to each deck. An exemplary splitter may include a bottom surface, a sidewall, and one or more openings through the sidewall. Each opening may include a plurality of slits, allowing input material to pass therethrough. Where multiple openings are provided through the sidewall, the openings may be evenly spaced and have an equivalent area. The bottom surface may be substantially circular, and the sidewall may extend perpendicularly from the edges of the bottom surface. An exemplary splitter may be able to receive and distribute the input material when a gyratory force acts on the gyratory sifter on which the splitter is installed.
