Claim 17:
18. A method of separating particles from a flowable substance, including steps of:
placing particles combined with a flowable substance on a rotating screen comprising an inner surface and an outer surface;
moving the particles along the inner surface of the screen;
passing at least a first portion of the flowable substance through the inner surface to the outer surface of the screen;
adding a wash agent to the particles under controlled pressure as a fan-like spray, wherein the spraying under pressure as a fan-like spray assists with separation of the particles from the flowable substance; and
obtaining particles separated from the flowable substance from the screen, to thereby separate the particles from the flowable substance, wherein the first portion of the flowable substance is passed through the inner surface to the outer surface of the screen under vacuum prior to delivery of the wash agent to the particles.
