Solids are removed from effluent in tank 2 by an endless, inclined, moving belt in the form of a flexible elastomeric backing strip from which project rows of wire teeth, which catch the solids and lift them to where they are removed by a rotary brush 14 and spray pipes 15,16. Solids brushed from the belt are fed from receiver 11 into rotary sieve 12. The teeth are bent halfway along their length, and the belt may have areas without teeth (Figure 2 not shown). <IMAGE> |
