The invention provides a novel device for separating a composite raw materia l under pressure into constituent flowable and residual materials. The device compr ises: a laminated block having a longitudinal axis, the block comprising a plurality of transverse plates, each plate having: a first aligned bore defining an elongate collect ion chamber; a second aligned bore defining an elongate drain; and a transverse surface of each plate including a drainage channel extending between the first and second bores; a n elongate perforated liner disposed within the collection chamber, the liner comprisin g a plurality of transverse planar bushings having an external surface bearing on an internal surface of the collection chamber, each bushing having: an internal aligned bore defining a n elongate compression chamber; a groove in said external bushing surface defining a co llection manifold between the collection chamber and each bushing; and a transverse s urface of each bushing; including a plurality of indentations extending between the in ternal bore and the collection manifold; input means for loading the compression chamber wit h said composite raw material; pressure means for pressurizing the raw material in the compression chamber urging said flowable material progressively through the bushing indentations, bushing collection manifold, collection chamber, plate drainag e channels, and drain, while consolidating the residual material in the compression cham ber; and output means for expelling consolidated residual material from the compressi on chamber. In a preferred embodiment the block plates include a first aligned bore wit h a laterally opening plate mouth defining a precollection chamber; the liner includes bus hings with a laterally opening bushing mouth defining a precompression chamber; and the i nput means comprise laterally actuated ram means for loading the precompression chambe r with raw material with a gravity feed hopper with a lower loading chamber within whic h the ram means operates.
