Abstract:
Horizontal solids recycler to which is fed waste water comprising refuse solids from hog farms and which comprises: an intake and loading hopper adapted to establish a uniform curtain of the waste water; a mesh to which an over flow of the waste water is directed; a tumbler cilinder to which is mounted the mesh and which is mounted to a frame which rests on guide wheels; blades mounted within the tumbler cilinder to raise moistured solids, wherein said blades turn by the action of a speed reducer, two outlets, a star transmission and a chain adjusted with a star, wherein said water of said moistured solids is passed through a mesh and the solids are collected; a collecting bin to collect the solids coming from the tumbler cilinder and raised by the blades which comprises a separator to separate the remaining water from the solids; a screw to transport the solids which is mounted to the collecting bin; a pressing section which comprises a perforated cilinder to which the solids are fed by the screw which is driven by a speed reducer and stars; a collecting and recycling hopper to which said perforated cilinder is mounted to, and which said collecting and recycling hopper collects and recycles the waste water to the tumbler cilinder; a self adjusted cone to which the solids are pressed within the cilinder by means of the screw to dry them, wherein said pressing section is mounted on a base provided with bearings and from which the dried solids are expelled to a dried manure cellar and the separated water is recycled both to the farm or to the horizontal recycler.
