Abstract:
A portable processing plant for processing granular material is provided. The portable plant includes a plurality of portable processing modules configured to be stacked vertically to allow for a vertically downward progression of the generally granular material through the portable processing plant. Each portable processing module includes a self-supporting independent frame structure and has at least one processing component affixed to the self-supporting independent frame structure. The self-supporting independent frame structures of the plurality of portable processing modules combine to define a structural skeleton of the portable processing plant. Each self-supporting independent frame structure can be removed from the structural skeleton substantially fully assembled while the at least one processing component carried by the self-supporting. Methods of assembling and disassembling the portable processing plant are also provided.

Claim (Index 45):
A method of forming a portable processing plant for processing a flow of granular material at an assembly location, the method comprising:\n stacking a plurality of portable processing modules vertically to allow for a vertically downward progression of the granular material from one portable processing module to the next, each portable processing module including a self-supporting independent frame structure, each portable processing module having at least one processing component affixed to the self-supporting independent frame structure while stacking the plurality of portable processing modules; when stacked, the self-supporting independent frame structures of the plurality of portable processing modules combine to define a structural skeleton of the portable processing plant, wherein each self-supporting independent frame structure is removable from the structural skeleton substantially fully assembled while the at least one processing component carried by the self-supporting independent frame structure remains affixed thereto; wherein the plurality of portable processing modules includes:\n a first separation unit including a processing component in the form of at least one separation mechanism for separating the flow of granular material into at least a first separated flow of granular material and a second separated flow of granular material, the second separated flow of granular material having a different characteristic than the first separated flow of granular material; \n a hopper unit including a processing component in the form of a plurality of hoppers for holding granular material; \n the first separation unit being vertically above and supported by the hopper unit when the structural skeleton is assembled and formed by the self-supporting independent frame structures of the first and second separation units and the hopper unit; and \n providing a substantially permanent base pad; and wherein the step of stacking includes stacking the plurality of portable processing modules vertically on the base pad.
