This is a two stage mechanical separator. Wastewater is first pumped over a perforated static screen to separate solids. The solids are then transported up the inclined screen by wiper blades. The inclined screen is perforated to push liquids out of the solid material. Compliments of Tulare Farm Show and US Farm Systems.
Hydraulic pressure is applied to manure that is in contact with the surface of the separator screen.
Solids are collected from the screen and process them to a screw press. The solid being separated in this picture is sawdust. This shows the process of solids being collected from the separator screen. This show the consistency of separated solids from the T-R Separator. The solids in this waste stream consist of sawdust.
