Sorb/Dust separation

When you get down the bottom of a keg of sorb, what do you do to sort the wheat from the chaff, so to speak?

I'm down to the end of my first large keg of sorb and this wasn't talked about in class that I can remember. We always filled from fresh, full kegs so the subject never came up.

There is quite a bit of dust mixed in with the sorb in the bottom, too much for a stiff breeze to sort out before it drops into the scrubber.

The best I can come up with is buy a few square feet of fine mesh screen to sift out the dust before pouring the remainder in the scrubber canister. I figure someone here has come up with something better, especially for traveling. Seems dumb to pack a bit of screen when some knowlege and/or local materials would work.
