CONCRETE WASH PLANT

摘要

A separator for use in separating particles of different sizes in a liquid mixture such as the contents dumped from a mobile mixer at the time of a clean out. The separator includes a chute formed by bottom panels and a pair of side panels joined to the bottom panels along side edges thereof. An end wall is provided at one end and a loading zone is provided in the chute adjacent the end wall. A screen is provided between the loading end and a stratification zone which is spaced from the loading end. A lifting device is provided for raising the loading end from a loading position to a raised position in which a mixture dumped into the loading end flows toward the stratification zone, the coarser particles being separated by the screen. Unlike known devices used in the ready mixed concrete industry, no pumps, conveyors or other components having moving parts come into contact with the concrete wastes.
