Abstract
A strainer assembly for separating solid particles, such as food particles, from drain water includes a straining apparatus made up of discrete portions which travel on an endless path with the path having platform and dumping segments. Incoming drain water impacts the discrete portions of the straining apparatus in the platform segment so that the solid particles are held on the discrete portions while water passes to the drain and the solid particles travel with the discrete portions to the dumping segment, where they are dumped to a collection facility.
