An apparatus (40, 200) for filtering a material from a medium includes a first housing (44, 204) having a wall with a plurality of openings formed therein, a conveyor (46, 206) disposed in the housing (44, 204) for moving the material therealong, and a conduit line (48, 208) communicating with the interior of the housing (44, 204) for supplying the medium to the apparatus (40, 200). At least one of the first housing (44, 204) and the conveyor (46, 206) rotate relative to a central axis to direct the medium toward the wall so as to separate the material from the medium. A method for filtering a material from a medium includes supplying the medium to a first housing, spinning the medium within the housing, passing the medium through a wall of the housing to separate the material from the medium, moving the material along the housing, introducing a fluid into the material within the housing, and washing the material using the fluid. |
