DEVICE FOR SEPARATING WASTE WATER

摘要

The present invention can be used in clarification plants and mainly on boats for separating the waste water originating from solid-containing residual water. To this end, a separation device (5) comprises a hollow shaft (10) to which a rotating endless screw (12) is connected on the end side in the direction of the lower collecting chamber (4), wherein said endless screw is designed so as to correspond on the inner side to the hollow shaft (10). The endless screw is guided by the edge of the screw in a support bearing (7) of the intermediate wall (2). The hollow shaft (10) comprises on its periphery a plurality of brushes (9) surrounded by a fine-sieving cylinder (8). The hollow shaft (10) is mounted so as to be capable of rotation while the fine-sieving cylinder (8) is fixedly mounted, or vice-versa. In each case, the endless screw (12) is connected either to the rotating hollow shaft (10) or to the rotating fine-sieving cylinder (8). The upper collecting chamber (3) is connected to the lower collecting chamber (4) by a plurality of openings (11), by the inner space of the hollow shaft (10) and of the endless screw (12) and by an adjacent tubular body (14).
