Abstract
A separator attachment for use with a vibratory apparatus, the attachment including a housing mountable to a vibratory apparatus below a material-conveying surface of the vibratory apparatus, the housing defining a pressure chamber with an inlet and an outlet. The housing has at least one wall with a wall surface having a first end disposed proximate to the outlet of the pressure chamber and a second end. The attachment also includes a deflector plate with a deflector plate surface having a first end disposed proximate to the outlet of the pressure chamber and a second end, the deflector plate surface facing the wall surface. The deflector plate is translatable relative to the at least one wall to vary the spacing between the deflector plate surface and the wall surface. A system including a vibratory apparatus and the attachment may also be defined.

7. A system comprising:
-
a vibratory apparatus including (i) a material-conveying surface with an inlet end and an outlet end, (ii) a plurality of resilient members supporting the material-conveying surface, and (iii) a vibration generator coupled to the material-conveying surface to move material along the material-conveying surface from the inlet end to the outlet end; and a separator attachment attachable and detachable from the vibratory apparatus, the separator attachment comprising (i) a housing coupled below the material-conveying surface at the outlet end, the housing defining a pressure chamber with an inlet, an outlet and at least one wall with a wall surface having a first end disposed proximate to the outlet of the pressure chamber and a second end, and (ii) a deflector plate with a deflector plate surface having a first end disposed proximate to the outlet of the pressure chamber and a second end, the deflector plate surface facing the wall surface, the deflector plate translatable relative to the at least one wall to vary the spacing between the deflector plate surface and the wall surface. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
