According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention related to a power-operated rotary vermicompost screening system designed for efficient separation of fine compost from waste material. The system comprises a stable main frame supporting a hinged screen cylinder frame with adjustable inclination (0-20). The rotary screening cylinder, mounted on a mild steel shaft with welded rims and supports, rotates via an electric motor connected to a reduction gearbox and pulley system providing variable speeds (20-60 RPM). Material enters through an angled feeding chute, and screened vermicompost of less than 2mm is collected in a wheeled collection unit positioned below the cylinder. Waste material exits via a tapered disposal tray at the cylinder's end. The system features multiple arresters to prevent material backflow and facilitate proper collection. The entire system is mobile with wheels attached below the main frame of the system, allowing easy transportation and offers practical functionality for vermicompost processing operations."
