Abstract
A device for separating plants and plant byproduct, the device comprising: a housing; a basin located in the housing, the basin configured to hold plant material; at least one rotating arm located in the basin; a shelf located below and adjacent to the basin, the shelf comprising a plurality of shelf holes; a blade configured to cut material extending below the shelf through the shelf holes; a first sieve located below and generally adjacent the shelf, the sieve containing a plurality of holes of a first sieve hole size; and a bottom container located below the sieve.
Claims9
A device for separating plants and plant byproduct, the device comprising:
- a housing;
- a basin located in the housing, the basin configured to hold plant material;
- a transparent lid rotatably attached to the housing and located above and adjacent to the basin and configured to allow one to look through the transparent lid into the basin;
- at least one rotating arm located in the basin;
- a shelf located below and adjacent to the basin, the shelf comprising a plurality of shelf holes;
- a blade configured to cut material extending below the shelf through the shelf holes;
- a collection chute, with a top portion and a bottom portion, the top portion in communication with the shelf;
- a first sieve located below the shelf and in communication with the bottom portion of the collection chute, the sieve containing a plurality of holes of a first sieve hole size;
- a second sieve located below the first sieve, and generally adjacent to the first sieve, the second sieve containing a plurality of holes of a second sieve hole size, the second sieve hole size being smaller than the first sieve hole size;
- a bottom container located below the sieves;
- and
- an agitator located on the housing, the agitator configured to vibrate and shake the sieves such that plants and plant byproduct smaller than the sieves holes of each sieve, will fall through the sieves, until the plants and plant byproduct are sorted by size in each sieve and the bottom container, and
- a wheeled cart removably located within the housing, and with the first sieve, second sieve, and bottom container removably attached to the wheeled cart, the wheeled cart configured to be rolled out of or into the housing.
