摘要

Apparatus for picking up filamentous or long-fibered debris from fluid flowing through a chute has pulleys driving an endless reinforced rubber belt along a path. A first portion of the belt path extends above and substantially parallel to the chute and a second portion of the path extends upwardly about one pulley from the first portion of the path to a second pulley and downwardly about the second pulley to the first portion of the path. A rotatable rubber stop roller is positioned adjacent the second pulley at the downwardly extending portion of the belt path. Flexible scarfs are attached on one side to the belt at intervals along the belt. One end of a plurality of pick-up members is attached to the other side of the scarfs to form rows of pick-up members extending across the belt at the intervals of the scarfs along the belt, each member being swingably connected to the belt by the scarfs. As the pick-up members are carried by the belt along the first portion of the belt path, the pick-up members extend downwardly from the belt into the fluid for picking up debris from the fluid. The pick-up members carry the debris to the second pulley where the members swing on the scarfs relative to the belt to hit the stop roller to discharge the debris and then swing toward the belt to pass between the belt and the stop roller for returning to the first portion of the path.
