A manure separator arrangement is described including a flume and chain conveyor arrangement by which initially received slurry of liquids and solids is directed over a perforated flume floor. Liquid is allowed to drain through perforations in the floor as the slurry is moved along a pair of troughs formed along the flume. The entire flume is inclined so the liquids received from the perforated flume floor will drain downwardly away from the solids being carried along by the drag conveyor. Solids leaving a discharge end of the flume may lose approximately 80% of the liquid previously contained in the slurry or mixture. The manure discharged from the flume may be received by a separator press roll mechanism by which remaining moisture can be separated. The separator includes a rotated perforated drum and an oppositely rotated press roll. The press roll is yieldably urged against the rotating surface of the drum and is simultaneously rotated to press or squeeze liquid from the solids.
