A structure placed in a stream of liquids, carrying undissolved solids, that separates the solids from the liquid and disposes of the solids. Two channels or conduits for carrying the liquid are positioned at different elevations and the structure is angularly disposed between the two channels or conduits to interconnect them. The structure includes plural interleaved plate members, one set of which is downwardly inclined at a first angle and a second set of which is downwardly inclined at a second, lesser angle. The solids collect atop the top edges of the plates inclined at the lesser angle as those plates gradually evolve from the other plates along their extent. A conveyor member at the bottom of the lesser inclined plate members carries the collected solids away.
