Abstract:
A feed diffuser for use in a rotating screen having drain holes is provided, comprising a flow chamber having an upstream end and a downstream end and defining a flow path for a slurry having solid material larger than the drain holes flowing between the upstream end and the downstream end; the flow chamber having an intermediate portion disposed between the upstream end and the downstream end; the intermediate portion having a first opening; the flow chamber having an inclined floor, the lowest point of the inclined floor being adjacent to the first opening; whereby the inclined floor is sufficiently inclined such that when the slurry flows down the flow path, the larger solid material is directed towards the first opening.

Claim (Index 8):
A method of processing a slurry to separate larger solid material from a liquid, comprising the steps of:\n (a) applying the slurry to a rotary screen separator as claimed in  claim 7 ; (b) collecting the liquid which passes through the screen; and (c) expelling solids through one end of the rotating screen.
