Abstract:
A debris eliminating system, comprising:a) a tank for holding water;b) a system for circulating water across said tank from a first side to a second side;c) a pump for circulating the water across said tank;d) a medium density object collector within said tank;e) a light debris collector within said tank for receiving light debris which flows further downstream than the medium density objects; andf) wherein said medium density object collector defines a medium density object flow path and said light density object collector defines a light density object flow path that is independent and separate from said medium density object flow path, at least said medium density object flow path being configured to convey medium density objects via fluid flow therealong, and both said medium density object collector and said light density object collector having means to create a predetermined back pressure so as to set a ratio of fluid flow into the respective medium density object and light density flow paths.
