Abstract
Apparatus for cleaning dirt/oil/water mixtures that utilizes a rotating drum wherein the inner cylindrical wall of the drum includes a plurality of V-shaped troughs secured in continuous circumferential array with each vee or apex directed radially outward and secured to the inner drum wall. Canted baffle plates of triangular shape are then secured within each trough with triangle base secured at the vee open top and the triangle apex secured at the vee apex. Input dirty oil having water and dirt suspended is input at one end of the drum proximate the base ends of the baffle plates while lighter weight oil products are separated inward along the axis of the drum and heavy dirt and water materials are driven to the baffle apex points from which they may be extracted.
