What is this invention?

Rotary vacuum and screen system and methods for separating solids and liquids

Separating solids and liquids has always been a challenge, but one company is looking to change that with their invention.

The rotating screen is used to support the slurry of solids and liquid. A downward vacuum force is applied through the screen, which separates the solids from liquids. The fluid manifold can be configured to apply the vacuum force to one side of the spinning screen while a cleaning manifold on the opposite side cleans it. This system makes it easier to separate different substances without having to use a lot of energy or waste products.

What are some key features of the invention?

• Separating solids and liquids

• Screen for supporting a slurry of solids and liquid

• Fluid manifold configured to the lower surface of the screen for applying a downward vacuum force through the screen

• Cleaning manifold configured to the screen

What are some similar inventions on the market?

There are a few similar products on the market, but none that come close to the features and functionality of this invention. Some other systems include screens that rotate, however these do not have the ability to apply vacuum force through them. Others simply do not have a rotating screen option, limiting their usefulness in certain applications.

How could this be used?

The invention describes separation systems and methods for separating solids and liquids from one another. The system includes a rotating screen for supporting a slurry of solids and liquid. A fluid manifold is configured to the lower surface of the screen for applying a downward vacuum force through the screen. A cleaning manifold is configured to the screen for cleaning the screen.

One use of this technology would be in dairy production, where milk can be separated into cream, skimmed milk, and whey proteins by using this type of system. Another potential application would be in pet food production, where solid waste like bones or fur could be easily removed from food products without having to resort to harsh chemicals or filtration processes

What are some things to look out for with this?

There are a few potential risks to using this type of system. One is that if the vacuum force is not strong enough, particles could get through the screen and into the fluid manifold. Another risk is that if the spinning screen becomes clogged, it could stop working properly and need to be cleaned.

What are the overall impressions of this invention?

I am very impressed with the product! It has a lot of features that are unique and useful, and it is easy to use. I think it would be great for cleaning up spills or cleaning dirty surfaces.

Here is a poem describing the invention

There was once a rotating screen,
That helped to separate slurry and liquid.
With a downward force it did apply,
And kept everything nice and tidy!
