Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: introducing a material to be separated to a screen apparatus of a basket assembly operatively coupled to a vibratory separator and adapted to be vibrated so as to facilitate separation of said material to be separated; sensing a state of said material introduced to said screen apparatus by using at least one sensor apparatus operatively coupled to said vibratory separator; automatically adjusting said vibratory separator to vibrate said basket assembly at a first vibratory separator setting when said sensed state of said material is at a first sensed state, wherein vibrating said basket assembly at said first setting comprises automatically adjusting an acceleration of said basket assembly to a first preselected acceleration level based on said first sensed state; and automatically adjusting said vibratory separator to vibrate said basket assembly at a second vibratory separator setting different than said first vibratory separator setting when said sensed state of said material is at a second sensed state different than said first sensed state, wherein vibrating said basket assembly at said second vibratory separator setting comprises automatically adjusting said acceleration of said basket assembly to a second preselected acceleration level different than said first preselected acceleration based on said second sensed state.
