Abstract
Apparatus for the separation of particulate solids from a liquid and comprising a container, a first declivous draining screen located within the container to separate upper and lower regions of the container, means including a subsidiary declivous draining screen steeper than the first screen for feeding a mixture of particulate solids and liquids on to the upper end of the first screen, baffles on the underside of the first screen to discourage adherence of liquid beneath the first screen, a weir disposed at the lower end of the first screen for allowing the controlled passage of solids thereover, means for withdrawing liquid from the lower region of the container, and means for vibrating the container to move solids along the first screen and over the weir.
