Solid/liquid separation apparatus with adjustable screen

摘要

A solid/liquid separation apparatus in which a downwardly-inclined separator screen is supported across the open front face of a liquid collection chamber. The screen and chamber are mounted in an outer frame having spaced side walls. The screen has separate upper and lower sections and is adjustably mounted on at least one of the side walls at a position intermediate the upper and lower ends of the screen so that it can be moved inwardly and outwardly in a direction transverse to the plane of the screen to adjust the relative vertical angles of screen sections. In one version, the upper and lower screen sections are separate screens and are adjustable via separate adjustment mechanisms.
